The artwork is better than story line. The plot is as disjointed as Dollface. Lots of sex and violence for mature audiences only. Not an enjoyable read

The plot was vaguely better than the first edition however,the vulgarness of the comic itself just doesn't do it for me.

Feels like it was written by a 13 year old boy who's into horror movies. The story is a few disgusting moments meant to shock surrounded by a bunch of nonsense.

The first volume wasn’t written all that well, but I remember enough funny moments from it to give the series another try. This time the three take a portal to El Lay and land just a few blocks from a witch. . . but not just any witch. This one’s a baby-eater. Dollface flattens the clinic she’s in, thereby killing a lot of innocent people.
At Venice Beach she lifts weights, joins a drum circle, plays volleyball, and makes other women jealous. But of course the bad guys aren’t dead yet. And even more of course, the innocent character gets killed.
“You killed my family! Prepare to die!” Why does that sound familiar?
The giant fight scene was so difficult to follow. The artwork is so angular, much like Dollface herself.
Despite some early fun, it turned into as much of a gorefest as the first one. At some point it just stopped being fun and felt more like work. Emily’s reaction was strange as well.
The artwork is brighter than most.

1 star.
This one just wasnt for me. It is book 2 in the series and not having read the first, I didnt really get what was going on, so if your wanting to read this, then reading book 1 is a must. This was also a bit too gory for my liking. An obese woman eating babies and there is actually an image of her holding a baby with its head missing and blood everywhere. Umm, no thanks.

I really liked the illustrations, the story line not so much. To be really honest I was only interested in it because of the illustrations ,before going into it I knew nothing about it. For me it was too bloody and gross but if you are into all of that you will really enjoy it.

This was an interesting fresh read with a creepy supernatural vibe.

Sexy, funny, and great artwork. Everything an adult graphic novel should have!

Disclaimer for this review: I haven't read the first volume of Dollface and I hadn't checked out its reviews prior to reading this graphic novel so my interest in Dollface Volume 2 was based solely on its blurb and the image on the cover.

Emily and Ivan are the students who made Lila. Emily's girlfriend Paige attends school in California while Emily is studying at M.I.T. Emily wants to visit Paige but can't afford the travel cost or time because of mid-terms so Ivan, a ghost, creates a portal and the three of them whoosh through the portal to L.A. Once in L.A., Lila's witch alert system activates so she and Ivan go check it out while Emily catches up with Paige. Then all hell breaks loose.

I like the concept of a 17th century witch hunter being transported to present time into the body of a doll that a couple of students created with a 3D printer. Also I generally love all things relating to witches, ghosts, tattoos, people with brightly coloured hair and blood spatter, so I figured this was a pretty safe bet for me. This time I was mistaken. Not much offends me but I personally found this graphic novel quite disgusting and wrong on so many levels.

[spoiler: Had I not committed to reviewing this graphic novel I would have stopped reading as soon as I turned the page and saw the woman eating babies in the basement of a medical clinic that offers abortions.]

I'm sure there's an audience for this type of graphic novel but it's definitely not me. I take full responsibility for not doing enough research before I requested a review copy of this one. Had I done my research I would have known I wasn't part of the target audience. Lesson learned.

I received an ARC of this graphic novel from NetGalley (thank you very much to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for the opportunity) in exchange for honest feedback.
