The question of who is really killing all these people is still a question in this volume.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS VOLUME:
- crazy woman who wants her unborn to grow up as a serial killer
- crazy man who experiments on killer bees.
- serial killer hiding under beds
- finger salad
- underwater ruins
- crazy bus driver who wants the kids to die to stop the curse of kids growing up to be serial killers
- Brian Michael Bendis cameo (I loved this one)
- bloody drawings on a wall
Basically, this volume doesn't give you much answer, but more questions. I can't wait to read the next one.

This continues the mayhem and cartoony gory fun, but it plays to its weaknesses when it welcomes a hokey cameo of comic book writer-artist Brian Michael Bendis. Otherwise, it's more subtle about the development of its characters, the town, and the ominous giant question of WHY. Everything seems unstable, but slowly closing in, inch by inch, and it is glorious.

Interesting concept; however, it wasn't as compelling as the first. We were jumping from different killers a lot, which was kinda interesting but felt like it needed something else. Something big was missing, and one of them being the likeability and relatability of the two main characters/detectives. I also did not like the last scene. It was very weird and random, like the solo Eleven episode in season 2 of Stranger Things. Still much better than other horror comics, like Deadly Class, but not as good as The Walking Dead comics.

At times both chilling and playful, Nailbiter continues to titillate and entertain! Sometimes a little too tongue in cheek, and this collection didn’t progress the story as much as I would have liked, but I can’t wait for the next one!

Not nearly as good as the first volume. These issues meander entirely too much and manage to include two stupid and overused small town cop story cliches (both the preacher who riles up the town against the good police and the federal agent who treats the good guys as suspects instead of catching the killer). This may all be fine if reading a completed tale, but standing by itself this volume feels like filler.

I keep trying to give Josh Williamson's books a chance. Critics love them and the plot hooks each sound like my new favorite thing. The only problem is the dialogue is like someone saw a handful of movies and was trying to ape the dialogue to make a five minute sketch. Rarely is dialogue discussed in comics criticism and this book is proof that it needs to be.
Even with all that said, will I likely pick up the next thing Williamson does? ... probably.

4.5 Stars. I am so in love with this comic. It's dark, and gory and I love the intrigue that this comic brings. I will always agree that the tone or the artistic style that this is drawn is goes so well with the story. The dark colors and the gitty scenes.
I am very excited to see where this can go and what else the town of Buckaroo, what else these crazy people out there are thinking!
*****SPOILER*****
People wanting there kids to be serial killers and other trying to knock a whole bus of kids just so they don't become killers and give the town a bad name.... crazy. love it.

-very pretty
-fast paced but not in the good way; hallway-like + rushed
-lots of different bits of the stories were introduced but none of the subplots were really resolved which is a bit annoying
-interesting perspective on townsfolk
- there were some extra at the end by different artists which were not only stupid and ugly but also didn't really fit in with my headcanons for the rest of the comic...

Why is Brian Michael Bendis in this? That was so random... and funny! The mystery continues to grow...
