The Autumnlands #2 – 2014 continues the deeply imaginative and visually striking series written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Benjamin Dewey, offering readers a fresh take on high fantasy with a modern sensibility. Following a powerful debut, this second issue builds upon the tension and mystery surrounding the crumbling society of magical animal-kind and the sudden arrival of the legendary Champion — a figure believed to be myth, but now standing in their midst.

The issue delves deeper into the fragile politics of the floating cities, contrasting the decaying magic-dependent upper class with the grounded, struggling world below. Busiek’s storytelling masterfully weaves together themes of class, belief, and survival, as the citizens attempt to come to terms with a reality that no longer matches their ideals or legends. The pace is both deliberate and immersive, allowing each interaction and moment of conflict to breathe.

Visually, Benjamin Dewey continues to stun with intricate linework, expressive character design, and lush environments. The anthropomorphic cast is brought to life with emotional depth and nuance, capturing everything from silent desperation to righteous fury. This is not a comic that simply entertains — it challenges expectations and rewards careful reading.

An essential issue for those following the saga, The Autumnlands #2 expands the scope of the series while maintaining its strong world-building and philosophical undercurrent. A standout in modern fantasy comics, it’s also ideal for fans of titles like Saga, Mouse Guard, or Conan, reimagined through a contemporary, thought-provoking lens.
