The 140 are being whittled down with each issue while Dave and RaVan hook up with the Deacon in Russia to hide out from those of the 140 hunting down the others, but is hiding out with Russian gangsters really the best idea. Meanwhile Courtney, hooks up with Akira's collective of pacifists in the boonies of Japan. All of the characters Williams focuses on seem to be from a little to full on batshit crazy. Still loving this series and won't be surprised when it turns up on TV somewhere.

Courtney decides to hide out in Akira's isolated commune where several dozen other members of the 140 also live and worship Akira. The group should be afraid since 3 other members are killed by a mysterious assassin who photographs their dead bodies and posts them online.Larry isn't dead. It's revealed that he had an understanding with a popular member of the 140. That's a twist. He may get a more active role in the next volume.(view spoiler)[David, Ravan and Deacon pay off Russian mobsters to t...

FUCKING AKIRA! FUCKING COURTNEY! FUCKING DAVE!

The saga of the 140 people who have become rich continues. Larry Farrell, the Founder of the Facebook type organization is dead, the body count begins to rise. Dave Austin, one of the 140 undergoes a transformation in order to survive as a result of a life changing situation. The 2nd Volume asks the reader what would you do with a fortune after becoming a Millionaire overnight? The answer isn't always pretty. Reading this story has given me food for thought to that question and honestly, I would...

The remaining 140 "heirs" to a tech billionaire's fortune go into hiding to avoid being killed by their competitors. I felt a loss of momentum from the first volume's introduction of the premise as we get back stories and character positioning. However, this volume does end on a significant bang.

Solid character development in vol.2 and the pace was great. Rob Williams dives right into some good backs story on Courtney, and quickly jumps into the present with Akira, Dave, and Rubinstein. The story feels more focused and we are starting to see the 140 dwindle down. Dave decides to meet up with Deacon in Russia and also friends Ravan joining the bunch. Akira is slipping into his egotistical madness at his fortress in the forest with his 40 followers. Courtney realizes that maybe she should...

The best part of Unfollow V2 is the lead issue, #7, which gives a poignant and intriguing in-depth look at one of the 140. The rest of the volume is action-adventure, continuing on from the premise of the first volume and ending with a real bang. There's a lot less of weirdness of V1 amidst that, and though it makes this second volume somewhat more balanced, it also loses some of its depth.Nonetheless, this remains very readable and interesting.

This volume isn't quite as interesting as the first volume. Now that the major players have been introduced and the plot set, we see how they respond to the situation. There are two major groupings - we get Dave, Deacon and Yavan trying to find safety with the Russian Mafia, while Courtney joins Akira's 140 retreat. Neither group finds much in the way of safety, with Courtney in particular flying in the face of danger that was honestly pretty predictable from the beginning of the plot thread. Me...

Well, I'm still super intrigued but seriously confused as well. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be the case after twelve issues. The story continues to keep my interest but there are so many elements that keep me scratching my head (Rubenstein, talking leopard, Akira). However, author Rob Williams, has me invested in seeing how this ends. The art continues to be perfectly suited for the book. Overall, another good read or at least, I think it is.

Individual issue reviews: #7 | #8 | #9 | #10 | #11 | #12Current review score: 1.67 and abandoned.

More survivor/Battle Royal/ evil tech bro social media satire in graphic novel form. How can I say no to that!

I should have trusted my gut and quit after volume 1. A fairly interesting idea starts to unravel due to poor plotting, few characters with any depth and a poor attempt at looking at the human psyche. I advise others to spend their precious reading time elsewhere - not worth it here.One example of plot holes is somehow the only one to put together the main plot idea (that Ferrell is playing out Akira's fiction work which will make Akira appear prophet-like), is one of the 140. Even though people...

Bullet Review:I'm definitely having a good time. Wish I knew what was up with all the animals and dragons, but at least this seems to be going somewhere and not needlessly dragging out. Hopefully volume 3 will give us more answers too. (What is the mask, where did it come from, is it magical or is that just insano Rubinstein?)

"This could have been huge.""There'd be no President Trump without Social Media.Probably, I have no way of knowing if that's true or not, but it certainly feels true. My generation thought we were going to get moon bases and transatlantic travel in an hour. Instead, we all got little handheld devices that offer us a white-noise Pandora's box of entertainment and information so engrossing that none of us can look up and see the world around us. The Arab Spring seemed to be social media setting us...

I really enjoy this series. It's a very creative way to really highlight the villainy, lust, and greed of regular people in the age of social media. I feel like this book is very important in today's ever changing world climate.

An eccentric dying billionaire who made his money on social media site Chirper, where users can send “chirps” of 140 characters or less, leaves his fortune to 140 random people around the world. If one of the 140 dies, their share is split between the survivors. Oh yeah and an insane masked killer is slowly tracking down and murdering each of the 140! Who will survive long enough to enjoy their money? Rob Williams’ twisted take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory continues in Unfollow, Volume 2...

Disappointing. I really wanted a battle royale. Can’t have everything, I guess.

This series remains intriguing. This one is more than a bit brutal – violent in ways that even the first volume didn’t manage. And bleak. Really, really dark. But it is a page turner with more than a bit of mystery held within. The shallow-ish characters are becoming more fully developed (for the most part) and some very intriguing moments happen in this one that change things in a big way.Looking forward to reading the next volume when it comes out.

What began as a macabre experiement into social media and the dark side of humanity gets increasingly off the rails in Unfollow, Vol. 2, God is Watching. In Vol. 1, 140 Characters, we learn that the inventor of social media, Larry Ferrell, has died and willed his $18B fortune to 140 people at random, and the more of them that die, the more each survivor gets. Thus kicks off a kind of Battle Royale among the inheritors, but now we see some alpha predators emerge from the pack, most of whom seem t...

The social media deathmatch continues in somewhat rushed fashion, bumping off a bunch of the e-tontine before we've had much more than a glimpse of them. But the techno-sceptical theme is shown more and told less than in the first volume, and there is an Ekranoplan.
