review:
'Octopus Pie, Volume 2' by Meredith Gran is a much better volume. Meredith Gran even admits to this in her forward.
Volume, the second, in which we learn what Eve is short for and meet her brother. She travels home for a crisis in more ways than one. A snow hits and the gang makes do sledding with an odd assortment of things. There is a bachelor auction, a memory of a favorite childhood game show that makes a recurrence at Eve's job. There are run ins with exes and a current boyfriend moves away. One story is about a day in the life of the friendly neighborhood weed dealer. Hannah agrees to watch Park's dog, with funny results.
The art hits a more consistent tone in this volume, and the humor doesn't necessarily rely on the setups from volume 1. I still didn't find it laugh out loud funny, but I found the characters more likable this time.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
