Gunnerkrigg Court Vol. 2 Research | Thomas Siddell
2 posts | 10 read | 2 to read
Archaia's beloved Gunnerkrigg Court, the award winning, hit webcomic, returns with a second paperback.Antimony Carver, a precocious and preternaturally self-possessed young girl, and her best friend Kat begin their second year at gloomy Gunnerkrigg Court, a very British boarding school that has robots running around along side body-snatching demons, forest gods, and the odd mythical creature. Finding a secret tomb of ancient robots beneath Kat's workshop leads the two friends to question how they are linked to the mysterious ghost that attacked Annie the year before. And as a new Medium In Training, Annie is able to visit the powerful trickster god Coyote in Gillitie Forest, a visit that reveals more than she ever imagined possible. Parts of Annie's past are revealed, as well as mysteries that tie back to the origins of the Court itself, in this sequel to Gunnerkrigg Court: Orientation, Gold Medal winner of ForeWord Magazine's 2008 Graphic Novel of the Year Award!

Mehso-so

I remember feeling underwhelmed the first time I read volume 2 but I thought it was because it had been awhile since I read volume 1. This time I read them back-to-back and...I was still underwhelmed. The main story progresses and we learn more of the history but it lacks most of the humor and cleverness of the first volume. I am going to read volume 3 to see if the sparkle returns.

My #libraryhaul is in the bag and ready to go home. I am too but I have another hour and a half of work. Wah, wah. 😕

Chachic I looked for Gunnerkrigg Court at the bookstore yesterday but they only had Vol. 3. 8y
MarriedtoMrT @Chachic Disappointing! Volume 1 is about 8 years old, though, so I guess it's not too surprising they don't have it stocked. 8y
Chachic Ah that makes sense! 8y
