A bit by-the-book, but in a way that throws back to pulps of old. Enjoyable, but in the post #metoo landscape it, like most other comics, feels a bit objectifying and stale.

Immediately after reading Vol. 1: The Haunting of Fabian Gray, I had to dive right into Volume Two!
My thoughts:
I enjoyed this volume a lot! I found it far less confusing than the first and less rushed. Of course, this volume was much longer than the first, so we were able to get more content as well.
I really enjoyed learning about Fabian's past in this volume and how he and his sister had trained together once long ago. I also enjoyed that we were introduced to a new character named Jezebel, who also has dreamstone embedded in her face and also has a "ghost."
Again, I thought that the artwork and coloring was absolutely stunning. There were many pages where the artwork guided the story, which I always love.
My favorite line:
We've all made deals with the devil. It's where we go from there that counts.
I could not put this volume down! I cannot wait to get my hands on Volume 3. Unfortunately, it isn't available in my local library system...so it may be awhile. :(

3.5 stars -- A little better than Volume 1. Fabian is still searching for his sister (and best friend's wife). First chapter is a standalone story set in Japan, but does have a tie-in with the main plot line that some bad, secret group is trying to get their hands on Fabian. The rest of the book takes place on the sea with many pirates and much swashbuckling. As with the first book, great art and mediocre writing. I realized that the plot is pretty good, but the dialog is a bit comic book cliche.
