Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for giving me this eArc to review.

The art in this second volume continues to be great. It explores what happens after a big superhero fight and the consequences that has to the people and the surrounding area.

I kind of wish that Quin knew more about his powers and that he would learn how to fight considering he seems to be a human punching bag and that makes me sad and want to hug him.

Having loved NCIS New Orleans, the NOLA take to this is making me happy though - and I love the banding together of superheroes - who doesn't after DC and Marvel??

Will still keep an eye out for volume 3.

3.5/5* but would round up to 4.

A lovely graphic novel! I didn't realise this was a second volume when initially requesting but it didn't affect my enjoyment at all. Great!

Really enjoyed the artwork of this book. However, the storyline wasn't really capturing me. Multiple times I wanted to walk away from this book. Just wasn't for me I guess.

Quincredible continues to be an admirable addition to the realm of comics with a great story and a truly incredible protagonist. The story overall is written well and the art is top-notch, something you'd expect from big-name comics. For fans of Spiderman, Quincredible is a worthwhile pick-up.

Three months after a massive attack destroyed New Orleans, Quinn still sees the consequences of it--Britt's missing family member, his parents struggling with the fact that their son is enhanced, and his own odd dreams that might be more than just that. To be honest, I didn't remember much from the first volume as I started reading the second, but I think I remembered enough to follow the story.

Quin's journey to become a superhero and protect his town is intertwined with political issues, just as in the first volume. The second volume continues the theme of fat cats being the bad guys and the rest of us dealing with the consequences of their actions. There are new villains to look out for, but also new allies Quin meets on his way. And a surprising amount of interesting facts about voodooism. This volume leans heavier towards the mystical rather than science-fiction aspect of superheroes stories, but it all blends in well.

My only issue with this series lies with the length of the scenes--they are very short, sometimes two or three pages only, and therefore it seems like everything is happening very quickly.

With thanks to Rodney Barnes for an advanced readers copy of this GN.

4*

A great improvement on part 1 (which I also enjoyed) the story, and character development have really taken a step up. I ripped through this one at quite some speed and can't wait for the next. As always the art work is brilliant, and the representation is as strong as the first.

I enjoyed this one as much or more than the first. The continuation on the world building as well as the character development was really well done. I loved how Quins parents were navigating a world where he steps out into his own, while still worrying about him.

The bad guy was just as unlikable and frustrated me a lot.

I definitely recommend this and the first book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I felt like there was something missing from the story. I know it’s a series and has multiple volumes but it didn’t feel like anything got resolved. Regardless, I still enjoyed the artwork and exploration of voodou. I also appreciated the discussions on slavery and ruining the environment via capitalism. They could have been a bit more in depth. I look forward to the next volume.

This is the second volume in the Quincredible comic and I was very excited to read it. After loving volume 1 I couldn't wait to see what happened next. This second volume had a different feel and different type of story compared to the first one. While I flew through the book, I did have to get into it a bit. At first I was confused as to what was going on exactly. But I kept going and throughout the story it started to make more and more sense.
The art was mostly like the first volume, I didn't think it was special but it was done nicely.
Volume 2 The Hero Within focuses on cultural backgrounds and I loved that a lot, they delved into history and did it in an interesting way. While this volume didn't wow me like the first volume did, I did enjoy it a lot!

The book starts off strong when it looks like it's going to deal with voodoo, but dips in quality drastically once the villain is revealed. Both he and the voodoo woman seem to have every power they need for any situation. They just keep on piling on the powers. Meanwhile, Quincredible is useless. He's a human punching bag. He's invincible but can't fight. This would work if it was played for comedic effect. Instead he just gets knocked a few blocks away every time while Glow takes care of business. Still this comic is on the verge of being interesting if the writing was tightened up. You'd think Barnes could do that since he's been the show runner for 4 different TV shows.

'Quincredible Vol. 2: The Hero Within' by Rodney Barnes with illustrations by Selina Espiritu is the sophomore graphic novel about a new hero who is invulnerable.

Quinton West is still trying to figure out his identity now that he has powers. He also has an encounter with the mysterious Madame Adelaide, the missing aunt of the girl he really likes. The heart of the story involves a new construction project that is being built on sacred ground.

There is a bit of a time jump between volumes, but I think that is from other books in this universe. This story felt a lot more coherent to me this time and I liked it better. The art is ok, but I'd like to see them up their game on this title.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me this Arc in exchange for a honest review...

I loved this!

Tbh I thought Vol.1 was a bit too marvelish and didn't really find the plot all that interesting. But Vol.2? Oh wow! I absolutely loved the direction this series is starting to go in. I really liked how it brought the ancestors into it and how superpowers could connect and effect them.

Can't wait for Vol.3!

Just as good as the first volume!

Althought it feels a bit disconnected from the first volume (which is a good thing if you don't remember much from it), I liked how we got new elements and characters thrown in the mix, it made for an interesting story and it being the focus of this second volume helped to understand it better Maybe every volume will introduce a new aspect. The ending seemed quite rushed so I'm curious if anything will be mentioned or carried on in future volumes.

I really liked Adelaide and what she brought to the story but also her connection to it. I hope we see her in future volumes and she's not only there because the volume focuses on something related to her. She's important to other characters, so she shouldn't vanish after this volume. It was great to see more of Glow, but I've missed the appearance of other enhanced heroes. Glow's relationship to Quin is quite similar as in volume 1 but it would have been cool to see a deeper connection between them, since they've been through a lot.

It was a nice volume. A bit sad that it's not as connected as I wanted it to be, but I liked the new aspects that it brought and, as always, very cool to see it so rooted on culture and the community. I'm interested to see what volume 3 has in store.

Just as great as the first book! I loved this graphic novel with amazing representation, diversity and inclusion. I can't wait for this entire series to release. It's an automatic buy for my library.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

I enjoyed the first one, so it was a bit disappointing when I spent at least the first 1/3 of this being confused and thinking I missed something in the 1st one. It both shows elements of "what happened doesn't really matter" as well as "everything that happened mattered A LOT". The thing that annoyed me the most, in the beginning, was that the end of Vol 1 Quin is finally somewhat welcomed into the gang of enhanced, but now we only see Glow, and even that seems like a rare occurrence. Wish we got more continuation on that route.

I LOVED the exploration of the past, culture and racism tho, and I think this is done in a very good and realistic way! I, as always, wish we got even more here, and that more of it was about the exploration and less about the fight itself. I know that's just me being picky tho!

As a continuation to the story, I would give this a 2⭐️ , but just in general I would give it a 3 ⭐️ ! Just enough to make me want to see how the story goes if there ever is another one.

Quincredible Vol.2: The Hero Within picks up not long after where the Volume 1 left us. It goes over what happened in the meantime and then starts with a storyline of its own.

I really did enjoy this installment and am really liking this series as a whole.
But I have to admit, it fell a little short again. I felt like everything went so fast and I didn't really have time to get into the story. Something big was happening and soon after everything was over. I just wish it had taken its time a little bit.
Still, I felt a connection to the characters and I'm really invested in what might happen next for them. Basically, I'm really looking forward to whatever come next.

I was a bit confused reading this at first after reading the first one but got the hang of it. The artwork was amazing and I loved new characters brought in, I can’t wait to read the 3rd volume.

Quinton’s newest assignment is to learn the history of New Orleans and Voodoo. An assignment that leads him to the mysterious Madame Adelaide who gives him a new task to fulfill for the good of New Orleans. Is Madame Adelaide a spirit? An enhanced human? And what is the evil that threatens New Orleans that Quinton must stop?

I was not a very big fan of the plot in the first volume but this was way better! It’s a huge step up because this time around, including New Orleans history and Voodoo made it is so interesting.

The artwork was exceptional and I really enjoyed the character development. Looking forward for the next volume!

Thank You to NetGalley and Oni Press for this ARC!

I was lucky to receive an eARC of "Quincredible Vol. 2: The Hero Within" thanks to the publisher - Oni Press - and NetGalley. Regardless, I would like to emphasize that, while I received the eARC, this is my honest opinion regarding the graphic novel.

I must state beforehand that I am not familiar with the first Volume of Quincredible. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the story of the second volume and perceived it as comprehensible.

To summarize, when meteors fell to Earth, Quinton West was gifted with the power of invulnerability. Seeing others take up hero identities, Quinton decided to help his city of New Orleans in his way. Using his smarts, creativity, and a bit of training from his mentor Glow, Quinton is on his way to becoming Quincredible, hero of New Orleans! But even superheroes must do homework, and Quinton's newest assignment is to learn the history of New Orleans and Voodoo.

First of all, the characters' characterization impacted me, as Quinton West and his family and friends are round characters and, thus, relatable to the reader. Furthermore, because of the round characterization of the characters, I perceive this series as a great representation of African Americans within the genre of graphic novels. I am confident that Quinton can positively impact young black readers, making me happy, and counts as a big plus.

Secondly, I enjoyed the story of the second volume of Quincredible due to its uniqueness. I have not read a graphic novel volume that provides the reader with various perspectives on one storyline. Each character in the volume impacts the storyline and provides another perspective on themes, such as community, family, and history.

Lastly, the art style stood out to me and flashed me! The story of Quincredible is told through colorful, dynamic, and detailed illustrations, which add even more to this already great graphic novel. Selina Espiritu's illustrations are excellent and remind me of the classic American graphic novel.
In conclusion, Rodney Barnes, Kelly Fitzpatrick, Selina Espiritu are providing us with a beautiful story. I would recommend this graphic novel to YA and Sci-Fi fans and comic fans in general, as a light read with great characters and storyline.
