I didn't enjoy this as much as I did the first book in the series, but it still made for a fun little read. Best artwork was probably in The Mask Dance and in Loah. My favourite story was probably Radio Adrift, although I also had a soft spot for Carapace and Desert Island Playlist.
I would recommend it for anyone in need or want of a decent middle-grade comics anthology. I already have the next of the series checked out of the library.

I loved the first Explorer collection, and this one is more of the same in a sense, but not quite what I wanted this time around. I think the concept in the first book was just better.
Still, a lot of good stories, and some that were unmemorable. Otherwise...

Really fun comic anthology. My favorite stories were Radio Adrift by Katie and Steven Shanahan and Carapace by Jason Caffoe.
A really fun and quick read, which is kind of obvious to say haha my favorites for this volume were carapace by Jason caffoe and loah by Michel gagné! The theme of lost islands made for some really beautiful art throughout
This was almost perfect, almost. The last two stories, RADIO ADRIFT and THE FISHERMEN, were boring and lacked the wisdom, whimsy, and poignancy of the preceding stories. I found the other stories to be profound, thought-provoking, and moving, where as these last two didn't pack the same punch.
RABBIT ISLAND and DESERT ISLAND PLAYLIST were the 2 stories that really stood out to me as memorable and moving.
Best art definitely goes to [a:Chrystin Garland|7055316|Chrystin Garland|https://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-d9f6a4a5badfda0f69e70cc94d962125.png], stunning, bright and dark at the same time! Awesome!
A great read for all ages.
