Volume 2 of Uprising continues right where vol 1 left off with the Assassins and Otso Berg learning about the Instruments of the First Will.
This time around the pacing slows down a bit and we return to the animus with Charlotte searching for the Koh-I-Noor, a powerful piece of Eden that can resurrect Juno.
She goes in 1937 Spain and witnesses the memories of Assassin Ignacio Cardona.
Surprisingly we also get the continuation to the Shanghai story from Assassin's Creed: Templars, Vol. 1: Black Cross and that was great.
We see Assassins and Templars have to work together to stop Juno and that's very interesting to see as that's rarely happened. Also Otso Berg continues being a very fun and intriguing character to follow.

One of the most boring comic books I've ever read. Mostly anti-capitalism ravings with the inevitable dig against Trump, of course. But I guess all the f*cks this book is riddled with will appeal to the younger generation.

This volume felt a lot slower than the previous one. Spent a lot of time in 1930s Spain to find a Piece of Eden that Juno needs to fully resurrect herself. But it was a fun read and I'm enjoying reading Otso Berg's perspective on things.

Inflection Point collects the middle third (issues 5-8) of the Assassin's Creed: Uprising comic series along with a cover gallery and some sketches. It narrows its focus, returns to the past, and overall offers a distinct change from the previous four issues.
Uprising started with a sprawling cast from two separate comic series. Nobody really got their time in the sun, and it just felt really unfocused as the Assassins did their thing on one hand and the Templars did another. Now, however, these characters are all finally together in one place. There are still way too many of them, and no one is getting adequately fleshed out, but at least there are fewer separate groups of people to keep track of.
Also unlike the first four issues, which were firmly rooted in the present day, Inflection Point takes us back to the past -- the Spanish Civil War. Unfortunately, these portions of the story -- while beautifully drawn and visually distinct from the modern world -- are a bit hard to follow. There are both Assassins and Templars in this time period as well, but very few of them are properly introduced and it's sometimes difficult to tell them apart. I did enjoy the focus on the Koh-I-Noor though, and I appreciate this thread from a few years previous in the Brahman comic series continuing to get pulled.
Overall, Inflection Point is a worthy continuation of Assassin's Creed: Uprising. It's imperfect, still too overstuffed with characters, but it kept my attention and left me eagerly awaiting the conclusion to the story.

Continuing on from Volume 1, we see Charlotte De La Cruz and her team join forces with Juhani Otso Berg as the Instruments of the First Will close in on their new world. A large chunk of this takes place in the Animus during the Spanish Civil War in 1937 My comments on the art can be found in my review of Volume 1 as the same comments apply here. Anyway, this was an enjoyable comic that's worth the read for any Assassin's Creed fan.

V předchozím comicsu se tu vedle odvěkých nepřátel asasínů a templářů objevila ještě třetí frakce, která chce pomocí artefaktů první civilizace oživit bohyni Juno. Bratrstvu nezbývá než řídit se heslem "nepřítel mého nepřítele je můj přítel" a přijmou do svého týmu templáře Otso Berga, který jim má pomoci najít ztracený artefakt, drahokam zvaný Koh-I-Noor. Ke hledání tradičně použijí přístroj Animus a budou hledat v DNA svých předků, tentokrát se dostaneme do Španělska kolem roku 1937.
Pěkná kresba, akční děj, slibný příběh, na můj vkus je to možná trochu krátké. Budu se těšit na další díl.

The story picks up after the first volume and spends a bit more time in the "old timeline" which is informative but exciting. The art does a great job balancing the different timelines and making them feel distinct, yet connected. Still really enjoying this storyline with only one more volume to go before we wrap it all up.

A detour to the Spanish Civil War is a welcome addition to the series, which in its previous volume entirely relied on a modern day storyline, with a returning face to boot and more ties to the wider universe. However, this new setting feels shallow due to its lack of background - what are the Assassins and Templars up to here? - and definitely needed some more buildup.

This was ok. The story dragged a bit in Spain.

Wasn’t good.

otso berg’s line “my, the air must be thin up there on the moral high ground” as galina tries to strangle the traitor was hilarious

1930s Spain is a great choice of AC historical shenanigans, though it's nothing the games would ever delve into. I liked the historical bits in this volume best, though the modern story is finally starting to come together.
