"Let it go
Let it go ..."

Oh, wait: wrong movie

And therein lies the greatest hurdle (and problem) facing this movie: how to match that Oscar winning 2013 earworm tune from the original?

The answer, quite simply, is that this can't.

That's not for a lack of trying, however, with Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf (who provides the bulk of the comic relief) off on a journey to the mystical forest in the north, and uncovering the truth behind Elsa's powers and their family (and kingdom's) history.

The animation, as ever, is top notch, with a more Autumnal colour palette this time around reflecting the more sombre tone of the film.

Book Favorite

"This may not just be my favorite Dickens novel, but my favorite novel period. I read it regularly, and every time is an undimmed pleasure. More, every time it feels fresh. That is the mark of greatness. Although the comic characterization is as juicy as ever, and it’s impossible to read without laughing out loud, Dickens here gives the fullest expression—through the hero who tellingly bears, if back to front, his initials—of horror at the heartbreak, savagery and injustice of the world. It is the ultimate bildungsroman and the truest story of how a person comes to be. Not for nothing was it Freud’s favorite novel."

Following up on my review of BLACK HAMMER Vol. 1, this volume picks up where it left off, filling in more and more of the backstory to "the Event". There is a boatload of the feels in this one, and it never lets up, not once. If you liked Volume 1 (aw hell, why wouldn't ya, right?), then you are seriously going to love Volume 2. And if you loved it like I did, chances are you will delighted to know that the story does not end with the conclusion to this tpb. Read it, or miss out on probably one of the smartest comic series out there! 'Nuff said!
