Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for a review copy of this book.
I read the first volume in this series in January and really enjoyed it! So when I saw this second volume up on NetGalley, I had to go and request it because I wanted to read more about Quin. In this volume, we learn a bit more about the history of New Orleans and Voodoo which I've always found very interesting to learn about. I have to say I liked this volume a bit more than the previous because of that addition and I kind of hope we'll see more of it in future volumes.

Definitely liked this more than the first volume. The pacing was bit off unfortunately, but other than that I enjoyed the story a lot more in this volume.

Love this comic book series, this volume follows the plans of a white developer who's family was a major slave owning family in the region of New Orleans. Quinton gets these dreams and realises something is not right and goes to investigate. His dreams link him to the past, to the people who were enslaved and he is determined to ensure that their unmarked graves aren't desecrated. The storyline is exciting, the artwork and drawings are wonderful, I also really like the concept of a Black hero who is making links with the past, very rare in this genre, I believe. Thoroughly recommended.
With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Just as good as the first volume!
Althought it feels a bit disconnected from the first volume (which is a good thing if you don't remember much from it), I liked how we got new elements and characters thrown in the mix, it made for an interesting story and it being the focus of this second volume helped to understand it better Maybe every volume will introduce a new aspect. The ending seemed quite rushed so I'm curious if anything will be mentioned or carried on in future volumes.
I really liked Adelaide and what she brought to the story but also her connection to it. I hope we see her in future volumes and she's not only there because the volume focuses on something related to her. She's important to other characters, so she shouldn't vanish after this volume. It was great to see more of Glow, but I've missed the appearance of other enhanced heroes. Glow's relationship to Quin is quite similar as in volume 1 but it would have been cool to see a deeper connection between them, since they've been through a lot.
It was a nice volume. A bit sad that it's not as connected as I wanted it to be, but I liked the new aspects that it brought and, as always, very cool to see it so rooted on culture and the community. I'm interested to see what volume 3 has in store.

Really enjoyed the artwork of this book. However, the storyline wasn't really capturing me. Multiple times I wanted to walk away from this book. Just wasn't for me I guess.

I have not read Volume 1, admittedly, so I was a little lost on the back story. But it was quick to pick up. I love the superhero and real-life combination that Quinn has to handle throughout the story.

Thank you to Netgalley and Oni Press for lending me this title. I remember reading the first volume last year and enjoying it a lot. The artwork and the team behind the new volume seems to be the same which is great for a series! I love the art and the art gallery at the end of the book is amazing.
I have to admit the beginning was a bit confusing to me. I read the first volume last year so I might have forgetten some things. I remember that Quin got his power from a meteor shower. The intro says the meteor shower happened again, but it is not clear to me if this happened between the two volumes or if I just forgot that it happenned in the first book.
Other than that the story is built up similarly as the first, we have a villain for the book and we have some off time where Quin’s parents learn to come to terms with the fact that their kid is an enhanced vigilante. Quin also spends some time at school and musing about his unrequited crush. I really loved the convo between Quin and his mom - she listened and was understanding but told him that he shouldn’t be obsessing over a girl who only sees him as a friend (and already has a boyfriend).
The main story is focused on a rich man whose family owned plantations and New Orleans vodoo. It was an interesting take on the superhero genre where ghosts and vodoo and alternate universes are also a possibility. This made me think of Cloak and Dagger who are also from Orleans and their stories are interrwined with vodoo and the local marshes as well.
This volume seems to end as a one off story, just like the previous one. I liked this volume but it was mainly focused on the plot for the chapter and I am more of a deep-character-building and character interaction kinda gal. It would have been interesting to learn more about Glow as now she seems to be Quin’s regular partner-in-vigilante-crime. Her face was revealed to us and for some reason she always somehow ended up wherever Quin was but we don’t really know what her deal is. It also felt a bit disappointing that the other superheroes didn’t show up or even care about mentoring Quin. I thought they would be a bigger deal in this volume.

Compared to the first volume, I enjoyed this second installment of Quincredible much more.
I appreciated the story, but even more the friendship, but especially the relationship between the father and son. In the first one had been highlighted little, here instead it was developed better.
The color plates are beautiful, as well as in the first volume.

A nice follow-up in the series, diving into New Orleans’ voodou and parenting.
