As usual, Templesmith’s art is great to look at, but this corpse doesn’t smell quite as fresh as it did the first time around. Many of the same tropes are rehashed here, with fewer jokes.
We already met the grotesque leprechauns in volume one, so a whole planet of slobbering carbon copies doesn’t really pay off as it should. However, we are introduced to the Brothers Calamari, inter-dimensional planet harvesters, who promise to play a bigger role as Wormwood’s nemesis in the next installment.
Grade: B
