WEIRD fucking line of “Women don’t have slots, son. At least not the kind that makes them do what they’re told. Usually it’s the other way around.” of the grim reaper to his son. bro what. why. 
also clown behavior in this is a sequel to something i never read. ignoring not introducing many characters. the art was good but the story was so simplistic.

So fun! It is summer break and DJ (Death Jr) is interning at Terminal Industries where his dad, the Grim Reaper, is CEO. Meanwhile DJ's friends, Pandora and the gang, go to a summer camp that isn't exactly what it seems. I loved the focus on Terminal Industries and the corporate drama, it is way more fun that it sounds. I appreciated that the focus was on DJ and less on his gang, thank you for focusing on the action instead of forcing an unneeded subplot.

There is also a bonus Halloween issue that involves trick or treating and a very dark ending.

The only negative I have is that this is where the series ends, bummer.

Man, there's no way around it: summer jobs blow, and it's worse when your boss is actively trying to bring about a "bureaucralypse." Meanwhile DJ's friends are at the worse summer camp ever, so nobody's having a good time.

Except the readers, of course. Because this volume is just as fun as the first.
