#2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good news for people who like continuing stories but don&#8217;t like the inconvenience of missing the first issue: this comic has almost nothing to do with the first issue of this series.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, it&#8217;s set in the same world and the same little village, but the people involved are completely different this time around.\u00c2\u00a0 Things start off with a couple of women out working in the field, unaware that they&#8217;re being observed by an odd little hermit man who hasn&#8217;t seen women for a very long time.\u00c2\u00a0 He falls at least mildly in love with both of them but retains enough self-awareness to know that the women would probably run screaming if they saw him, so he makes a carving of a bird for them to find.\u00c2\u00a0 Unfortunately for him the women do find the carving but decide that it must be from a man in the village who one of the women has a crush on.\u00c2\u00a0 The hermit is unable to take this and can&#8217;t resist jumping out and confronting them.\u00c2\u00a0 As he suspected, this does not go well.\u00c2\u00a0 The comic also manages to leave us on a cliff-hanger, but it sounds like the third issue is going to go back to the characters from the first issue, so I&#8217;m not sure how this is all supposed to tie in.\u00c2\u00a0 Ah, that&#8217;s half the fun of series like this, trying to figure out where things are going.\u00c2\u00a0 As long as Damien has a clear idea in his head of where it all goes, I&#8217;m more than happy to stay along for the ride, especially if he&#8217;s going to make the individual issues as entertaining as they&#8217;ve been so far.\u00c2\u00a0 Fun stories of an odd little world and some great artwork are all I need, and this series clearly has plenty of both.\u00c2\u00a0 Check it out already!\u00c2\u00a0 $4<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/naturalworld22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
