Protector #2 – 2020 continues the gripping saga set in a harsh, post-apocalyptic world, building upon the tense, mythological groundwork laid in the first issue. Written by Simon Roy and Daniel M. Bensen, and illustrated by Artyom Trakhanov, this second chapter ramps up the stakes, plunging deeper into the crumbling future of Earth where ancient technology and tribal politics collide.

In this issue, Mari, the young slave girl turned reluctant hero, faces even greater peril as she grapples with the power of the ancient war machine she uncovered. As the factions around her grow increasingly desperate to control the device, she must decide who to trust while trying to piece together the purpose of the relic she now possesses. The characters are complex, torn between loyalty, survival, and the murky promise of power, and this issue pushes them to their limits.

The writing in Protector #2 continues to be rich and layered, blending action with philosophical musings on the cyclical nature of history and the role of technology in shaping humanity’s future. The world-building is dense yet accessible, as Roy and Bensen delve deeper into the ancient wars that shaped this fractured society and explore the mythos that fuels its present conflicts. Themes of control, freedom, and destiny loom large in this chapter, making it not only a narrative of survival but one of profound human struggle.

Artyom Trakhanov’s artwork continues to shine with its bold, dynamic style. His intense, expressive linework conveys both the brutal realities of the world and the subtler, emotional undercurrents of the characters. The desolate landscapes and rich, earthy colour palette enhance the immersive atmosphere of this decaying world. Every page is meticulously designed, making each scene feel cinematic in its pacing and intensity.

Protector #2 builds upon the series' strong foundation, offering a compelling mix of action, mystery, and philosophical depth. It’s a must-read for fans of thought-provoking sci-fi and post-apocalyptic narratives with a unique twist.
