RASL, Vol. 2: The Fire of St. George (RASL #2) 
It fulfills what the first collection promises. I don't how many times in a series, graphic novels, traditional books, or TV shows that I've seen the first part of the series only to find the second devoid of the elements that liked in the first one. Smith masterfully shows the reader further elements of the story with out dumping plot on us, or add confusion. I'm moving along with Rasl, wanting to know what he's going to do next, and what we will discover about him.
This is a great series. RASL is a dimension shifting art thief. He's chasing/being chased by a gun-toting, fedora-wearing lizard guy who is killing off his girlfriends, one dimension at a time. RASL is a delightfully flawed protagonist whose hobbies include smoking, drinking himself senseless in bars and sleeping with his best friend's wife. But he's the best hero this story has.This volume raises many questions, such as: what horrible things did the people in the Navy carrier see? Who is the

This one was a perfect summer read; parallel worlds, conspiracies, romance, and Tesla is part of the story. Smith is an excellent storyteller, as he showed the world with the Bone saga. The narrative in this case is darker, the main character had an affair with his best friend's wife and then saw them both die in an experiment gone wrong. He makes a living by stealing art in one universe and selling it in another, and he is chased by a government agency who wants him to hand over Tesla's lost
Just not my thing.After reading the entire Bone series this was....disappointing. The art just wasn't as rich and detailed as Bone and it wasn't really all that exciting to look at. And I just wasn't into the subject matter. Maybe because Tesla played such a big part and there was SO MUCH EXPLAING I just couldn't get into it. Not that I don't think Tesla is cool, but Odd Apocalypse was all about Tesla too and I'm just a little burnt out at this point.I'm not sure if I'll read the last one. I got
I am totally loving these books! This one explained a lot that the first left unsaid, which I liked a lot, though I liked the hint of it all in the first book. It explains the parallel universes a little, and how they were discovered, and three theories about them. The main character is fun, I like him more in this book than the first.
Once again, not super impressed by this new Smith series. Rasl 2 continues the storyline of jumping between dimensions basically evading the rat/lizard-looking fellow, trying to make sure his former partner doesn't accidentally destroy the universes, and sleeping with the two women in his life (one being married to his former partner). I like Rasl's motives in terms of the whole saving the world piece but I don't much sympathize with him as a character (mostly because of the juggling between

In the aftermath of Vol. 1, Rasl learns his enemies have finally caught up with him. Unfortunately we get very little of his story and way too much on the life of Nikolai Tesla. No question Tesla was a remarkable man, but Tesla idolatry (speculations on how he'd have changed the world if the evil Edison hadn't stopped him, etc.) doesn't grab me and there's a lot of that here. Still the rest of the book is interesting and I look forward to the next volume.It fulfills what the first collection promises.
