I enjoyed the first volume of this comic series, but I LOVED this one! It was amazing! The events in this trade take place after Episode 3 in Season 2 and are full of lots of Hunk moments and a really cool new alien race who thrives on fighting! This comic really embodies everything I love about this franchise remake.
The art in this one is just as awesome as the first volume and still contained the humor and quirkiness that defines this series for me. I loved discovering more about this new alien race and seeing the paladins interact with them. I flew through this volume and before I knew it I had run out of pages. My favorite part of this volume probably had to be Lance giving love advice to Hunk. It was kind of hilarious.
As soon as I finished, I wanted more! I can't wait to see what other stories they can tell us about the paladins' adventures in this format. I'm hoping the next volume has more Keith or Shiro moments. I want to know more about them. *crosses fingers*

I really like Voltron. I've watched the first two seasons on Netflix (I know, I'm WAY behind) and loved it. So I requested this.
You definitely need to know Voltron to read this, at least the premise and characters (not the whole show, its a separate adventure).
Vol. 2 takes place during season 2 in between episode 3 (Shiro's Escape) and episode 8 (The Blade of Marmora).
The artwork matched the animation style of the show really well - so you know exactly what you're in for art-wise. Though, I did find some pages/panels a bit busy - a lot going on, especially color wise.
I loved how much Hunk was focused on in the comic - especially because it feels like Hunk is ignored a lot in the show. I liked seeing more of the daily life of Voltron, and a new alien species - though the species of furry creatures was bit odd. I liked the little "Lance's Guide To Falling In Love" interlude.
Its a cute, fast read if you like the show. Definitely aimed at a younger audience - the target audience of the show is about 7+ and the comic reflects this a little more than the show does I think.
