As our various teams strategize, we learn more about the implanted chips tracking our unfortunate participants.

Yeah, this was a LOT of talking. While it is interesting to learn more about our characters, this volume was short on action. Not that I’m actively rooting for child slaughter, but it’s like going into a Die Hard or Transformers movie, then having the characters sit and chat in a coffee shop for 20 minutes. It’s like walking into a pizza shop, but they have nothing but tacos. It’s not what I came in for, whether I like it or not. It even had the nerve to end on a cliffhanger. 2.5 out of 5.

The various squads of children deal with their deadly predicament in different ways, either embracing the chance to kill, abhorring the violence, or coming to terms with the hopelessness of their situation.

This volume cycles through each group who, as stated, are all handling things differently. I think the group that’s painting their faces and acting super edgy (very The Jokerz) were a bit silly. Even when they’re threatening violence, I couldn’t quite take them seriously. As such, there’s not much battling going on. It’s mostly talking and strategizing with the resident loony character committing the only violence in the book. It’s not bad but if you’re looking for a bloody mess, this isn’t it. 3.9 out of 5.
