📝 Description: Earthdivers, Vol. 2: Ice Age

Stephen Graham Jones returns with Earthdivers, Vol. 2: Ice Age, continuing his serialized graphic novel series published by IDW Publishing. This volume follows Tawny as she navigates a prehistoric landscape after vanishing through a cave portal alongside her husband Martin. The narrative shifts from their initial search for their missing children to Tawny’s solitary survival in the wild marshlands of prehistoric Florida, circa 20,000 BC. Jones brings his established reputation in horror and supernatural fiction to this speculative setting, blending geological peril with historical conflict. Tawny faces threats from bloodthirsty megafauna and a complex war between native Paleo-Indians and an occupying Solutrean force. The story examines the consequences of time travel when rovers attempt to alter history by preventing the creation of America in 1492. This installment appeals to readers who enjoy speculative fiction, historical alternate realities, and intense survival narratives. It may not suit those seeking lighthearted adventure or purely contemporary horror settings. The plot hinges on Tawny’s determination to survive while holding onto hope for a family reunion. Jones structures the narrative around physical endurance and cultural clash rather than supernatural spectacle alone. The work remains grounded in the immediate dangers of its frozen world and the political tensions of its ancient inhabitants.

Horror desk
This installment successfully blends geological peril with historical conflict, though it may not suit readers seeking lighthearted adventure or purely contemporary horror settings. Jones structures the narrative around political tensions and survival rather than immediate supernatural spectacle. While the exploration of time travel’s impact on society is intriguing, the heavy focus on isolation and megafauna threats creates a dense, unforgiving atmosphere. It is best for those who enjoy speculative fiction where historical alternate realities drive the plot. The work remains grounded in the immediate dangers of its frozen world, demanding patience from readers expecting fast-paced action over atmospheric dread.

Almost perfect

Bought this for my brother and ended up reading it first. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. My only quibble is that the middle third sags a little. Solid, if not essential.

This has been on my wishlist for months. The binding held up to being carried around for a week. It is the kind of horror that rewards reading with the lights on. Recommended with reservations.
