Even though Vieceli is still introducing new characters, the concentration is on a smaller cast with those given too much time in Tracks fading into the background once again.
First chapter highlights include a beautiful set of connected caverns and a shop of horror-based material, and more follows.Įchoes counteracts the dip in quality experienced last time round. Throughout the series Leonardi has been an absorbing artist, defining the locations and ensuring there’s always something interesting to look at wherever the characters are. She highlights minor changes indicating the specific world being shown, such as Chloe’s hair or Pixie’s oufit. Pixie’s abilities offer new possibilities and insight, while Vieceli continues the wonderfully naturalistic conversations, especially between Max and Chloe, and Max discovers a new talent.īecause Life is Strange is so personality driven, featuring so many people in two versions, Claudia Leonardi’s deft way of defining the cast via their posture or expressions is far more important than it might be in other stories, as is that of colourist Andrea Izzo. Partners in Time: Tracks complicated the situation immensely by following two sets of similar characters on two different worlds, and ended with previously minor supporting player Pixie revealing she was aware of what Max could do.Įmma Vieceli opens here with the immediate aftermath, with a neatly conceived look at both Pixies and how they’ve always been able to imagine alternate possibilities very vividly, and it’s where the work put into the often too diluted previous volume begins to pay off. Theoretically it’s possible for her return home, but there are consequences every time she uses her ability to turn back time, so she only does so sparingly. Max Caulfield is stranded on an alternate world with alternate versions of people she knows or loves. Five volumes into this series extrapolating the lives of characters from the Life is Strange game, matters have become very complicated indeed.
