The Ends #2

Issue #2 keeps the same stark, uncomfortable energy as the first, but pushes the characters into deeper, more volatile territory. The Laphams continue peeling back the layers of the siblings at the center of the story—people shaped by extremist ideology, bad influences, and worse decisions. Reviewers note that the emotional “sentiment” of the story is clear, even if the larger point still feels intentionally murky. That ambiguity is part of the tension: these characters aren’t heading toward clarity; they’re heading toward consequences.
