Much like volume 1 this was a mixed batch of good, great, boring and terrible. My biggest disappointment was that I expected to see continuations of some of the better stories from volume one. Some of "stories" where so short that I had assumed they would be continued or else why even start them? But maybe they are continued in future volumes? Anyway, so here we have another batch of stories, some as short as 2 pages and others much longer. Some great art (by Steven Young, Francisco Ruiz Velasco and Mario Guevara), some cool creepy/pulpy/noiry stories (The Creepy Tree and The Trouble with Brains both from Steve Niles), cool Solomon Kane and Conan stories and a funny story called Jared by Ilias Kyriazis.
But the stand out for me was "RANSOM! A Wondermark Tale" by David Malki. I think he basically draws the backgrounds and then pastes old black and white drawings (long in the public domain) over the top. The story is set in an a kind of medieval/old england setting and includes a talking bird (wearing a top hat), an exploding piano, an evil villain (Lord Bonehat) and a canibalistic king. With lines like "Lady, I am tempted to kill you just for the warmth of your entrails." and "Holy crap a talking bird!" this story had me laughing out loud the entire time I was reading it. ( )
