The intimate tale continues here, but is is something that’s worth your money and time?  Read on to find out.

The official description from Aspen:

You think you’re prepared, but you’re not. You’ve been decisive in your actions up to this point, but now things have been turned upside down. You feel you’ve conformed your mindset and are ready to accept what you’re about to experience, but you haven’t. That’s because SHRUGGED is back and ready to blow your mind! Perspecta has a new dark ruler as Lord Slive revels in his takeover and now plans his attack on planet Earth. Barely surviving with his life, Magnuss, the ousted true leader of Perspecta, reaches out for help, but who will come to his aid? Meanwhile, Theo’s girl troubles are heating up as he’s torn between the three women in his life. Those may be the least of his worries though because something bad has happened to Ange and Dev, and Theo may not survive their new transformations!

When it comes to life and the choices we make there are many consequences to consider.  And as this series proves all you can do is go with what you know and hope things shake out in the end.

Frank Mastromauro spins his yarn, and the continuing adventures of these otherworldly characters offer up some interesting moral questions and some surprising solid action.  The script from start to finish in engaging as the various aspects of this tale are firing on all cylinders.  The only complaint I have is that the text at certain moments is a little bit too thick and is a detriment as several of the sequences were bogged down.

Despite an at times off pace the art by Jonathan Marks is certainly up to the task at hand.  I was instantly floored by the pencil work as the seasoned talent did more than enough to nail the outlandish aspects therein.  There were a couple moments where images looked a tad bit off but these where few and far between.

Shrugged (vol.2) #3 is another great read that earns a recommendation.
