‘Nightmare Brigade #2: Into the Woods’ with Story by Franck Thilliez and art by Yomgui Dumont is a graphic novel in a series about young people who can travel through the dream realm.
Esteban wakes up in a home with a family that claims to be his, which can't be. It turns out it's a nightmare because Esteban knows he has no family. He finds himself in the woods and traveling in the dream realm. Along the way we learn what happened to Esteban and his friends. but this only leads to more danger to be discovered in subsequent volumes.
I feel like the first volume was stronger, which usually goes without saying. This one took a while to get going. When it finally did, I did like it. The art is as good as it was in the first volume.

The first half of this was confusing and scattered but I enjoyed learning a little more about this world/characters in the second half

I liked the idea of living in your dreams or others' dreams, its just one problem, that it could be a nightmare!
I think this is an entertaining, mysterious and dream adventure for young adult readers.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for a free E-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I was lucky to get a chance to read an ARC of Number 1 of The NIghtmare Brigade and when I saw the next one up to read I jumped at the chance to read what was going to happen next in the story. I felt a big improvement from the first if not just the fact the world and rules had already been explained and so the actual story took more of a leading role this time around.
The world and characters still showed growth though and we are slowly learning more about who they are and maybe also what they are as well. It's a fun read that draws you in and keeps you guessing for just the right amount of time. I can't wait for the next one to come out!!

Picking this up in Volume 2 made it a little difficult to follow along with the story. The art however was really unique in style and I love the use of color through most of the book to show dynamic changes. I wasn't able to fully understand what was going on but from what I did get out of this volume it seems like a really interesting plot and a strong baseline for more installments to follow.
