Comments: B (1.25.07) Far better than the first one, this compilation does not end each issue in a dark sad way for a change, and the WWII stuff is a lot less this run through too. After I bought this, I placed it on the shelf next to the first volume, and realized that on the spine, the first one actually said, Volume 1 on it! Unbelievable! I was definately behind on that and realized volume 3 came out back in December! The slow issues were not as bad to read as well, I mainly wanted to read issues 7, 8 & 12...with a minor interest in issue 11. But seriously, the other two weren't as bad as the slow ones in the first volume.
