by Dusty Higgins and Van Jensen, 167 pages After the dramatic conclusion of the first volume, Pinocchio has wandered off with his current "family" to stake vampires with even more of a vengeance than before. But when his old enemies get their claws on his potential sweetheart, he also enlists the help of his old "family," what's left of a theatre troupe of living wooden puppets like himself, to get her back and find the mastermind behind the entire vampire plot.
More losses are in store for our stringless friend, but I don't think that will ultimately work in his opponents' favor, as it can only stoke the flames of his resolve to take them out, regardless of his physical form. As with the first volume, this one effectively combines jokes and drama and action with inky, scratchy, screentoned art to make an atmospheric, entertaining whole. I can't wait to see Pinocchio kick some evil boss patootie when the final book comes out.
