Ro needs to move ASAP. Good follow up issue!

"Is that what you are? A ghost? I think that is what most would say I am. But not you? No, not me. I am. . . something else."
This is the second instalment in the tale of Ro, an artist who has rented a large house, away from the hustle and bustle of her everyday life, to try and find the inspiration that she needs. This particular issue picks up with her having discovered that she is not alone in the house. But who, or what, is there with her?
Again, I found that this instalment was taking the tale a little slowly: there is a hint that Ro should be very careful, but for now, the full picture if yet to be completely revealed. In a way, this gradual build-up is perfect for what is going on. You can see Ro beginning to trust, and want this other being around her, even despite her better judgement. I am definitely looking forward to the next one.

A great continuation of the first issue. I am enjoying the story and definitely intrigued to see where it goes next!

The simple, understated and mostly visual storytelling really works well as does the slow build to create a creepy and unnerving tone. It is a refreshing change of pace compared to most of the other stuff I read.

Better than issue #1, still not convinced. BUT I WILL give #3 a shot. Third time's a charm right?

The story is building
I was interested in this book from the first issue, but didn't know exactly what it was gonna be about. Now I feel like I have an idea of where it's going. I love Jorge Corona's art. I wasn't so familiar with his style going into this series, but he's definitely someone that I'll be keeping an eye on in the future. I can't wait for the next issue.

The Me You Love in The Dark (Issue #2) by Skottie Young:
Do I know where this is going?
I have an idea? But I'm not sure.
Do I like where this is going?
Um, no.
Do I want to continue the series?
Should I? Is there a happy ending? Is something scary or messed up going to happen? I do want to see the end. The problem is that I want to skip to the end.
Is this what I expected?
Yes and - no. I expected more things to happen. Feel more fear. Feel more whatever Ro (the main character) feels towards the non-ghost. This second installment also made me realize something about the title - which in hindsight, I probably should have realized sooner. Hmm. Now I'm curious. I want to see what happens next. But I'm not sure if I'm going to like it...

The second act to this comic mini-series is as beautiful and dark as the first one. It is setting up to be something else than we originally think, and there are many questions and sensations building through the reading experience.

The Me You Love in the Dark, by Young
Intense modern ‘haunted house’ / ‘monster in the basement’ tale. ‘Beauty and the Beast’ turns ghastly.
#2 – “Funny. A ghost is calling ME odd.” [There’s no way she is gonna eat all that breakfast.]

Moving a bit fast, but still a good read!

I like this menacing Lovecraftian creature being a muse because you know it won’t end well. One also has to wonder what happens when his ‘image’ is out in the world!

We're really getting into the eerie atmosphere in this issue. We even catch a glimpse of Ro's "ghost." I only purchased the first two issues, but I now need to go out and buy the rest of the series.

Never trust the old being that lives in the creep house that everyone thinks is haunted.
It does not end well.
