Today’s post is on Bloodborne: A Song of Crows volume 2 by by Aleš
Kot, illustrated by Piotr Kowalski, Brad Simpson. It is 34 pages long and is
published by Titan Comics. It is the second in the Song of Cows series and you
need to have read the first one to have any idea about what is going on. The
cover is a close up of Elieen the Crow. The intended reader is someone
interesting in more history about the Bloodborne and the characters that live
in it. There is no foul language, no sex, some nudity, and violence in this
comic. The story is told from first person perspective of the main character Elieen.
There Be Spoilers Ahead.
Blurb from Hoopla- The city of Yarnham: an ancient, gothic
metropolis and home to the Healing Church.
Recent days have seen the city fall foul to a nightmarish plague known as the Ashen Blood disease, the source of which remains a mystery.
In a world of gods and monsters, sanity is merely subjective, and fear and blood are sanctified.
Hunters now stalk the streets in search of beasts as the moon hangs ominously low in Yarnham's sky.
But as uncertainty fills the air, and the thirst for blood becomes insatiable, the hunters become the hunted…

Review- We continue with Elieen as she hunts and tries to remember
herself and what is going on. The story itself is still a little confusing
about what is going on as Elieen herself is not sure either. But as someone who
loves the Bloodborne world that did not stop me from enjoying the mystery of it
all. The art is great with good details but not too bloody, considering this
world that is interesting thing to do. We see more of the live, die, and live again
themes of the game as Elieen is fighting beast hunters and her memories. The
flashes that Elieen and we see of her past make it clear that she in not from
Yarnham and somehow that makes her the right person to hunt the corrupted beast
hunters but that is not very clear but I am sure that we will get some insight
into what drove Elieen to become the Crow. I am very curious about where the
story is going and I look forward to reading the next volume.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my
review and I borrowed this comic using my library’s Hoopla account.
