I liked it as much as the first one, it was a quick, enjoyable read. 

I found Aaron dying immediately after he charged at the monsters extremely funny, it was hard not to laugh out loud.

As with the first volume, this was... fine? I found the panels very hard to follow. Difficult to tell whether there was a two-page spread, or just single pages. I continue to find the plot and setting uninspiring. It's not bad. I just feel like this was someone's Monster Hearts game or something.

What I loved
Strong second volume that picks up exactly where the first one ended.  It's all still so mysterious, but we learned a bit more, and it's all definitely frightening!  This poor town.  These poor kids.  At this point, the best thing to do is run. Run far, far away and never look back.
