This is better than the first volume, though I still found too many preachy things about this story/premises.
I really hope the movie is better.
Art was a lot better too.
Though I would classify RIPD as "trash reading" and wouldn't recommend it to anyone interested in reading comic books.

Utterly ridiculous and completely entertaining.

Decent story, although I'm not overly familiar with the RIPD series, but I'm still looking forward to the upcoming film this summer ... provided there will be a trailer out soon.

I was unfortunately disappointed by this novel. If they had this as the first one in the series it would have made much more sense than it does especially after how volume one ended. It felt out of place and like it was in the wrong order. I would highly recommend reading this one first in the series. It kept the dark undertones and humour for which I am glad. I do not regret reading it as it made sense, the movie was a good mix of the two.

Tak toto bolo úplne iné ako jednotka a nielen preto, že autorom príbehu je už niekto iný. Zatiaľ čo jednotka bola skôr vtipná, taká nadnesená a oddychová, toto bolo o čosi temnejšie a tiež hlbšie. Dokonca sa mi to páčilo o kúštik viac ako jednotka, hoci opäť išlo o príbeh, ktorý zdanlivo nemal presne vymedzený začiatok alebo koniec. Bolo to dobré a naozaj je škoda, že sa tomu námetu nikto viac nevenoval.
