Being fast-paced and action-packed, Volume 1 definitely made a great first impression.But why do I sense like it's all now going downhill?The pregnant woman chapter and author Brian Michael Bendis' appearance as himself made no significant impact whatsoever. Just a couple of disjointed stories, among others.I'm still going to give Volume 3 a chance. That will then determine whether or not I continue further :(

Very cool second volume.The story progresses and you learn a bit more about the town of Buckaroo that seems to spawn serial killers.There's an issue with a woman who wants to give birth in the town just so she can live vicariously through the child's fame as a serial killer. Getting some Stage Mom vibes off this chick.The highlight of this one is the issue where Brian Michael Bendis shows up and gets an interview with The Nailbiter. Not to be missed.Recommended!

Bullet Review:This volume is SO disjointed. Each issue was episodic - the one with the crazy pregnant woman, the one with Brian Michael Bendis (the comic writer?! Seriously?!), the crazy bee guy, the bus driver. Did ANY questions get answered? Did we get ANY closer to finding out the origin of the Buckaroo Butchers?I should probably rate 2 stars but it wasn't bad per se, just...aimless?

This is my last (313th)book for 2018 and it was a disappointment. I’m off to watch some hockey with a friend and eat pizza and wings so I’ll just say the writing (Bendis cameo was weak and completely discredited the series) left a lot to be desired. Bees ? School bus ? This was far from scary, horrific, or compelling. I won’t be pursuing Volume 3.

This was quite good, although not as great as the first volume. I was really surprised to see Brian Michael Bendis have a cameo for an entire issue. It was a super meta and unexpected move and as weird as it felt, it was kind of alright. Still didn't feel like it was necessary but I supposed it helped with building up background on the town and stuff.Not as much headway was made in this volume as I'd expected it to make. Probably because two of the issues were like fillers where the focus was o...

(B+) 79% | GoodNotes: Stories surrounding a murderous curse, only insects are vicious, its crimes aren’t malicious, just crazed-superstitious.

More disjointed than the first book and didn't really have all that much to do with the main storyline. I did think that the whole thing with Brian Michael Bendis was especially stupid. It was basically just some extremely dumb filler, that had no place in this kind of comic book -- a waste of an entire issue! Curious to see where this goes in Volume 3, but I'm putting this series on hold for a little bit. I just need to wait and think on it, decide whether or not I'm wasting my time with this o...

4.5 starsI love this creepy shit.Death by bees...Crazy guys on horses in the forest...Serial killers under your bed...And, Brian Michael Bendis?!?

7.9/10Like in the first vol., crazy things happen, people being murdered and you have no idea what is going on. This series might not be the best thing ever, but there are some very good scenes and most importantly it keeps your interest in high levels.

2.5/5Overall i'm liking these graphic novels, but this volume felt like it had TOO much going on. It had a very disjointed feel to it. Each of the "issues" within the graphic novel seemed to feature a different character with a unique storyline, and the storylines didn't really converge at the end. I'm wondering if in subsequent issues/volumes some of the pieces will come together. Or maybe the issues are supposed to be viewed independently? Either way, this wasn't really workin for me like volu...

Things in town get even stranger in this volume. It really is Twin Peaks with serial killers. Worth it for the Brian Michael Bendis appearance alone!

These stories don't add much to what began in the first volume, but they do underline an apparent madness that is inexplicably linked with the town. I won't say that it's skippable, but I agree that it feels like a short brake between story arcs. Buckaroo has become famous on the internet because of its serial killers. The press and the FBI add more pressure to a town that is convinced of the curse that creates serial killers of its citizens.A pregnant young woman named Mallory wants to have her...

This was a let down from the superb vol. 1. This one felt like it was a lot of set-up for the continuing story. The art and writing remain excellent

Actual rating: 3.5This is the second time I’m reading this graphic novel, and I spent issues six through to nine wondering how the frick I could have initially rated this 4 stars. I was absolutely sure I'd be bringing my rating down to at least a 3, but now it looks like I'll have to eat my words (or thoughts, I guess). It wasn't disappointing enough to drop an entire star, and I felt like it deserved to be rounded up rather than down, but I definitely think this volume suffered slightly bec...

More disjointed than the first one. Very episodic with no concrete progression in the story and barely anything particularly crazy happened. I dunno, im just waiting for answers and for the story to get really nasty, but at this point, it's taking too long

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 wallBasically, this volume doe...

A bendis cameo in a horror crime novel!! What cant this guy do? Such a creepy and thrilling read. Loving this series atm!! He unveils just enough with each issue which provides the intense intrigue. The art is so gory but not over the top in description.

3.5* this storyline keeps getting more and more messed up and disturbing as it goes on. I kinda don't want to keep reading but I know I can't stop. It's incredibly gripping but this volume felt a little disjointed with characters seemingly pointlessly appearing but I'm hoping the next volume will give them a little more context. I'm incredibly intrigued to see where this goes but damn it it's gruesome. 😅

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.

Hmm...I think it's not as silly as volume one. There's some stuff here that's OK, but then they throw Meta shit in, like Brian Michael Bendis coming to town to research a horror comic?? Ya no.I bought the creepy bee guy and his hillbilly grandson...I don't buy that Finch is still one the case.I buy the bus driver who is sick of it all and snaps. I also buy the irony of his death.I'd probably say 3 stars is apt. I'm not enthralled but I didn't hate it.
