Jonas reviewed Kim & Kim Vol. 2 by Magdalene Visaggio (Kim & Kim, #2)

Probably even more serious fun than the first volume

That might be called the story, if you squint a little.

It doesn't pull its punches, though, and the pain for the Fighting Kims goes deep. And like everybody else, they are the result of a string of history and choices, some of them really bad choices. That said, Kim & Kim is a comic about the future, which will be informed by the past, but defined by our choices in the present. So get your ass into that battlemech and fight for a better future!
