Family Tree (Single Issues) #2
Family Tree #2 Semillas
La transformación final de Meg en un árbol se aproxima, pero ella está tranquila, sabe lo que va a pasar, sabe que todo va a salir bien, que todo va a ser precioso. Pero los fanáticos y mercenarios que intentan acabar con ella no están dispuestos a cesar en su intento, están cada vez más cerca, aunque su abuelo Judd no está dispuesto a dar su brazo a torcer.
Jeff Lemire, junto al dibujante Phil Hester, continúa esta epopeya sobre una madre que hará todo lo posible por mantener a sus hijos a salvo en un mundo de horrores indescriptibles con el body horror como eje, pero sin olvidar el cotidianismo de la vida familiar que tanto arraigo tiene en todas las obras del guionista canadiense. El final de la serie está cerca, el ritmo frenético y el trazo de Hester lo capta a la perfección.

In Issue #2 of Family Tree we flashback and forth between Darcy and Meg. We learn the fate of Darcy, Meg’s father. Judd tried to save him but couldn’t.
In the present day, Meg is trying to flee with her family from the people hunting her due to her transformation into a tree. Loretta is reluctant to let her father-in-law, Judd, help. But her children decide it is the best choice. Towards the end of the issue, we learn that Judd kept a part of his son, his hand, and uses it to communicate with him.
Lemire is one of my favourite authors of this genre. He always manages to pull at the heartstrings while telling a fantastic story. I am looking forward to the remainder of Family Tree.

"FAMILY TREE #2, out this Wednesday from Image Comics continues the horrifying tale of one grandfather trying to save his family from a grisly and disturbing fate. This issue is not to be missed if you’re seeking answers and chills.
Family Tree is a new joint project from the minds of Jeff Lemire, Phil Hester, Eric Gapstur, and Ryan Cody. And so far the series has been doing everything possible to get our attention. If you’ve been on the lookout for a series that blends together family drama with some truly horrifying elements, then this is a series worth checking out.
The first issue of this series introduced us to a world in which a family has been torn apart. And is only facing more trials with each turn. A single mother has been left to raise her family. First, there’s the troubled teenage son. And now by all appearances, her daughter is being affected by some strange disease.
Enter Grandpa Judd, who seems to have all of the answers. Not that this is the sort of situation where one can actually take a few minutes to sit down and explain the said situation. But thanks to the magic of flashbacks, the readers are at a slight advantage in that regard."

A couple of new stones were turned over in this one giving us a little more details as to what is going on. This series is cooking up nicely. The art is a little rough but it kinda fits the story.

My only complaint about this series so far is the issues are too quick to read.

In this issue, we get some backstory, including learning about the girl's dad.

Now there's a gruffly endearing bad-ass grandpa who saves the day from a cult of doomsday anti-tree people in uniform? I'm still in for this and give me more!

Un altro piccolo tassello viene messo e si approfondisce la figura del nonno. Il flashback è ciò che dà informazioni e dinamismo al capitolo.
