The issue focuses on the desperation and futility of the fight, where victory is impossible and survival is the only goal.
Synopsis of Siege #2 (2015)
The impossible siege: The issue centers on the endless, bloody battle along the Shield, with its diverse cast of defenders facing a daily onslaught from zombies, Ultron robots, and the Annihilation Wave. The soldiers, exiled to the Shield by God Emperor Doom, know they can't win but refuse to fall.
Despair and morale: The psychological toll of the constant, unwinnable war weighs heavily on the soldiers, particularly Commander Abigail Brand. Characters like Leah Shieldmen and Miss America feel the crushing weight of their situation.
Uncertain future: While the issue does not feature a decisive action-packed battle, it shows the characters' relationships and lives on the wall, building anticipation for the conflict to come. A cliffhanger ending sets the stage for the coming action in the next issue.
Visual atmosphere: The artwork, described as having a unique painted style, creates a grim and somber mood that reflects the bleak existence of the characters. The vastness of the Ultron army is depicted in an especially striking way.
