Dead X Alive volume 2 is releasing now!
Volume 1 recap:
After a disastrous mission, Jelani was captured by rebels and forced to consume an element of explosiveness, but instead of a failure, this turn of events proved to be what he had always wanted. He was finally able to obtain the true powers of an element and live freely, but his newfound joy came to a harsh end. After failing to tolerate an element of death and being stranded by his comrades on the summit of Mt. Hood, he is forced to take a new path.
A path to the city that was once called Portland and has now become a realm of certain death to any who enter. Why is Blake so bent on going there, why is Echo hunting him, and with whom should Jelani's allegiance lie?
