Even though I didn't love the first volume of this collection, I still decided to give Over the Garden Wall Vol. 2 a shot since I had already checked it out from the library.
My thoughts about this one are pretty similar to the first...
Hunt for Hero Frog- Greg/Wirt
This book picks up with the two boys in a tavern. Wirt says they had a rough night but Greg is all excited about it! We then see the story of the night told by Greg first, and it’s very bright and colorful. Then we see Wirt’s version which is much darker... When Wirt finishes his story, he realizes that Greg has left so he leaves to go find him. The rest of this story shows the situations that each boy got themselves into.
I enjoyed this one well enough, though I’m not sure I would pick up the next part of this series. It still just seemed too random...
Pooree The Elephant / The Raft
This one was a total miss for me, I really didn’t like it at all. I didn’t like the artwork, the storyline, the characters, the flow... I didn’t like any of it. I understand that there are lessons in there for the target audience, but I think they could have been done much better. I’m actually a bit grouchy that I wasted time pushing through this one.
My final thoughts:
Overall, this one was a miss as well. I enjoyed the first story well enough but didn't like the second one at all. I doubt I will continue on with this series.

these graphic novels are still... SO bizzare, but... they are weirdly adorable? I don't know. I'll still continue on with them.

The first half of the comic was so good. Greg and Wirt told someone what happened to them the night before and they both had different visions of the events (and now I wonder if what happened to Greg in the episode when he's in the sky really happened that way

I really enjoyed Wirt and Greg's storyline but didn't care much for the school stories. especially after the really gloomy and intense secondary story in the first issue. that said it's all quite pretty and well done.

This whole series is just so wholesome and easy to read. I'm loving the main story so much, and I enjoyed the smaller stories at the end of this, although I prefer the second story in the first volume more just because it felt more relevant and less like a filler as these ones did!
