The title pretty much says it all. The end of the world is here.

Society has broken down. Religious zealots are having a field day. There’s supposed to be a rocket that will take the lucky few to a new home among the stars but no-one’s really sure if it exists or not. Looting is rife. Camps of one sort or another have been set up but can anyone be trusted?

Apart from the odd knife attack and home invasion the plot Broken World #2 limps along at a snooze pace; people talk and philosophise about the fate of civilisation. But then if they just looked out the window, the answer to the question would be in front of their eyes.

I always thought the end of the world would be more exciting than this but this series seems to be much as the T S Elliot poem The Hollow Men, suggests, Broken World #2 is more of a whimper than a bang.
