I somehow managed to plough (lol, inside reference for those who have read at least the first volume) through this during my breaks at work in a single day. Whereas the first volume failed to grab me much, this one was a fun page-turner.

Um 3.5, em parte à boleia da arte (que não só é bem boa, como é bastante inventiva). A história não é má, mas a coisa é um bocadinho "descomprimida" demais para o meu gosto.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Left me a little flat. While I enjoy Sorrentino's work (the panel layouts in particular are often quite effective), at times (usually during issue/book climaxes), they can sometimes go over the top and make the story harder to understand.
Probably part of my frustration is not having read anything since the last collection came out. I should refresh my brain before reading the concluding volume…

Creepy, inventive sci/fi horror.

The story of Gideon Falls continues in a faster pace in the second volume. Father Fred Wilfred and Norton Sinclair will try to solve the mysteries of their past. The black barn is still the evil mystery the protagonists try to solve. A sequel that expands the series' scope and brings even more questions about the town.

8/10

gets much more into the mystery aspects after the slower, more character building heavy vol 1
