After rescuing the city Alderman from assassination, Emerane takes him to her tenement for refuge, only to find the Furie near death from a poisoned arrow. It seems the House of Asps intend to eliminate Umber’s only defenders of justice. But to what end, and at whose command, Emerane must find out. What she doesn’t yet realize is that, as the Night, she is their final target. Will her former companion, Azmeer, be her end?
The Cult of Uhlume is no more, and the city of Umber nurses its wounds, as do the reluctant heroes who saved it. Trauma and tragedy have left their mark on Emerane, the lowly barmaid. But when Asps target the city’s Alderman, as well as its champion, the Furie, she finds herself donning the mantle of the Night once again, and coming to their defense — whether she’s ready or not.
In Night’s Dominion: Season 2 #1 we finally see the aftermath of the events of the first story arc. Yet, the city of Umber wants to turn a blind eye to what truly happened. This forces the heroes of the previous story arc to return to their normal lives. That does not seem to last long as the streets become a hunting ground for assassins. It’s an exciting beginning, as Ted Naifeh weaves a tale of fantasy and heroism once more.
The art continues to impress. It showcases a lot of contrast and color palettes as environments shift. Even doing some decent close-up show of familiar faces, and new alike. Yet, a decent of amount of quick action continues to steal the show. We also get a possible peek at what may happen next.

A thief, an assassin, a mage and a cleric walk into a tavern in the ancient city of Umber. Awaiting them is a mysterious bard with a dangerous scheme: to break into the dungeon of a powerful death cult in search of treasure. For these five desperate criminals, it’s the last chance for hope in a city of corruption and despair. But what they find instead is an undead army preparing to conquer the world. Now, they must fight to protect the city that pushed their backs to the wall, or watch it burn. The acclaimed fantasy epic from New York Times Best-Selling author Ted Naifeh (Courtney Crumrin, Princess Ugg) begins here!
When she’s not working as a barmaid, Emerane becomes the Night, the most wanted thief in Umber. But when the Furie, Umber’s self-proclaimed champion, declares himself her enemy, she’s soon penniless and desperate. Her only recourse is to join the Bard and his ragtag team of rogues as they infiltrate the Cult of Uhlume’s tower in search of untold riches. The tower is not as it seems, however, and our heroes—if we dare call them such—may find more than they bargained for in its murky depths.
Not all is at it seems in the temple that houses the Cult of Uhlume in Night’s Dominion #2. It seems even the priests of this cult, have a dark secret lurking inside the bowels of their temple. I’m curious to see if that secret will be spread in hushed whispers around Umber. Will the city use that to fight the church, or will they do nothing?
The art in this issue by Ted Naifeh (who’s also the writer) is much darker than the previous issue. It helps showcase more of the occult side of the Cult of Uhlume. It’s clear that Naifeh has made the large statue in the temple as a clear focal point of everything else. I wish they gave a little better-viewing angles, but I doubt this will be the last time it appears.
