Ham and his friends are out at Camp Fish Head Lake. They are ready to relax after defeating their first villain but no one is around to run the camp. Ham and his pals decide they will take over. They figure it will be a piece of cake. How hard can it be to run a summer camp for kids. Well, they quickly find out it isn’t as easy as it looks. And when they find something terrifying in the lake, they will be lucky if anyone survives the summer.

This is a fun sequel to Ham Helsing Vampire Hunter. A quick Graphic Novel to read.Great illustrations and characters you will love.

When Ham and his friends arrive at a summer camp to do a demonstration for the kids, they find that the staff is missing and someone needs to take over and keep an eye on the campers. Well, they are the only someones around. Can they keep the children safe and find the missing camp counselors?

This is a really cute series for middle-grade readers with humor that adults will enjoy as well. I love the cute characters and the play on the Dracula story. In addition to Ham Helsing, a pig who hunts monsters, there is also a vampire who uses his powers for good, and a cast of other quirky heros. The artwork is simple, yet cute and effective.

I did feel that, while the humor was enjoyable, there was not enough of it. A graphic novel where a pig and his cohorts team up to fight a swamp monster at a summer camp should be non-stop laughs, but it just wasn't. Perhaps a couple more rounds of editing could have polished this story to a shine.

The wacky characters and off-the-wall plot really stand out as the strong points in this story. More laughs would have really tied it all together.

I would still recommend this book, especially to middle-grade readers, and I hope future volumes are non-stop slapstick comedy.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me free access to the digital advanced copy of this book.

Ham Helsing has quickly become a family favorite. The art is great, and it makes everyone laugh. My kids loved book one, so it was only right that I picked up book two. It's the perfect middle grade graphic novel if you're looking for some summer camp horror.

So, I decided to wait to review this until I could read both books in the series to date. And I'm glad I did, because there was definitely some overlap or continuation of the stories. Not that these can't be read as stand alone books, because they can for sure and Moyer does a good job of indicating when by way of footnotes. I am really enjoying the characters and how fun the artwork is for the series.

These are full colour and so colourful as a result. I think that, of all the characters, I'm a little in love with the vampire and the chicken (rooster?). The chicken definitely has some of the best lines. I also enjoy the little bacon slaves that serve the vampires. Who doesn't love animated bacon?!

The story moves well, and while this isn't really for a younger reader or an early reader, it definitely would and does entertain for the age demographic it's directed towards and then some. I had some chuckles. My son had some chuckles. And an elementary and middle schooler would as well.

Well worth picking up. Probably best to start with volume #1 if you can, but not to worry if you grabbed this one thinking cool and didn't realize there was more to the series.

I was never really into the classic monsters so I don't have a deep understanding of the lore. Even so I feel like I understand this story well enough. It helps that it's primarily a comedy. The nature of monsters is played to extremes. The character designs are very cartoony and expressive. Good fun.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* lol very cute and funny/scary comic. didn't read the first one but i will try to track it down!

I had a great time reading this graphic novel. The story starts off simple enough when Ham and friends arrive at a summer camp. After not seeing any staff here they decide to take those roles on thinking it can’t be that hard. Yet when campers starts disappearing it looks like they might have another mystery on their hands. Things for Ham and friends only get more complicated when some old foes decide to show up. As this graphic novel comes to a close the mystery is solved and some big decisions get made.

I picked up Ham Helsing #2: Monster Hunter by Rich Moyer due to the title alone. It turns out this book is hilarious and completely fun to read, and I will have to check out the other graphic novels in this series. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys graphic novels featuring animals and monsters and any adults that want silliness from time to time.

I really enjoyed the humor in the first Ham Helsing and the second kept that up! The characters are hilariously oblivious to campers going missing all around them and I kept giggling when I would see one of them go missing from the pages. It was a fun read, full of adventure, humor, and a good message at the end. I think kids will love this series.

Thank you Crown Books/Penguin Random House and NetGalley for sharing this book with me!

A great second book to the series! The detail in the illustrations were great. The characters were fun loving and entertaining. Malcom and Lobo are my favorite! Who wouldn’t want them as camp counselors? I’m so glad I came across the series and can’t wait to share the series with the kids.

My 7 year old and I read this together and he loved it! This was our first Ham Helsing book and we will definitely be checking out the first in the series. Ham Helsing and his crew are hired to solve a mystery and get rid of a monster. There's a camp on a lake that was contaminated with poison and kids have disappeared over the years so the counselors contacted Ham Helsing.

The graphics were good. My son thought the story was funny and entertaining and it was a perfect book for a 7 year old boy!

*Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy. Opinions are my own.

This story was a bit edgier than the first book and didn't line up with a classic story like the original. I wouldn't necessarily call this a Halloween book like the last one either. It feels like we're diluting the joke and maybe this shouldn't be a series.

This was a fun read with excellent artwork. The characters were funny, and the storyline was suspenseful. My middle schoolers will love this. I have not read the first one, but I plan to pick them both up for my classroom library. Although I haven't read the first one, the story was easy enough to follow. I look forward to reading the previous installment.

A silly sequel to Ham Helsing #1: Vampire Hunter. The Ham Helsing series have proven to be a fun addition to the reading lists for my 8 year old. He has already read the book several times and still wants to pick it up and read it again, night after night. With extremely creative and imaginative writing and excellent illustrations, this is an easy one to add to the TBR list for any monster loving child.

Thank you net galley and publisher for providing me this arc.

I really like this book! I haven't read the first one but I think you could still get most of the gist reading from the second book. It's a graphic novel and the illustrations were good. I definitely like the mystery and it's at a summer camp. I have seen some reviews where parents were concerned of the content. One being an issue about the pig sticking his fork in the socket in the wall. I guess it's up to parents to give their best judgment to read the book. I think it's great. It's targeted for the right age. So it's up to you based on what your child would like and should be reading. From what I understand a lot of kids really like these books.

I had been really looking forward to this graphic novel sequel, as I thoroughly enjoyed the first book. Unfortunately. this one fell a bit flat for me. One of the parts that I struggled with the most was how Ham and his friends referred to the campers at the start of the story. While I understand that the campers learned how to be more resilient throughout the story, it just didn't sit well with me.

Ham Helsing is a pig vampire hunter who gets roped into running a singer sleep away camp when the regular counselors go missing. Camo Fish Head is plagued by a crazy fish monster that keeps stealing counselors and campers to eat up. Ham and his buddies have to figure out how to save all their high-maintenance campers.

This was a goofy graphic novel for kids, probably ages 8-13. Some of the jokes fell flat to me, though I can't tell if it's because I'm an adult, or if they just weren't great. The art is great. The story is pretty silly, but puts out a decent message about trying new things, being brave, and taking care of others who need more help.

I let my eight-year-old read this as well. He said the book was okay. He liked the giant pig monster. His favorite part was the pig playing video games. He's not completely sold on the pig angle of the story, but understood that was the whole schtick, so rolled with it. He said he might be interested in reading more in the future.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy via NetGalley in return for sharing my thoughts on this book. Thanks to the author and publisher for this opportunity!

Huge thank you to NetGalley and Random House Children's for an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I adored the first book in this series, Ham Helsing: Vampire Hunter. So was beyond excited to get the chance to read the next book in the series a little early. The entire characters are back for Volume Two, except this time they're all at summer camp.

Just like in the first book where Moyer played with the story of Dracula, in volume two the story sort of plays into the Creature of the Black Lagoon. Which I loved because I'm a sucker for classic creature features. But, Ham Helsing: Monster Hunter is its own story where the monster isn't so monstrous.

While the book is targeted for younger readers, it's also great for those young at heart. I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon and curled up reading this one. It's a fun story with great artwork, that is bright and adds wonderful details to the story. It's a goofy, fun-filled read with hijinks and the return of the evil brother Chad. Who might not be so evil anymore...

It was great to see all of the characters I loved from the first book come back. Even little Eugene and Lobo! It was even great that Malcolm got a bigger role in this book, and that book three will be more all about him! I really enjoy that bumbling vampire!

I enjoyed the main story as well. All Ham wanted to do was keep those kids safe and protect the camp from whatever was lurking in the lake. This is a great story about how you can't judge people by how they look. The creature may look like a monster, but it was just protecting the little fish in the lake.

This was absolutely adorable and I'm glad I got a chance to read it early! It was just as fun as the first, and I cannot wait for the third installment.

Ham Helsing: Monster Hunter, by Rich Moyer, is a quirky, delightfully weird, slightly nail-biting graphic novel that will thrill kids to the end.

Welcome to Camp Fish Head. Ten years ago, some devious delivery men dumped toxic waste into a lake creating a monster that will haunt the camp for years to come. Through the years, children have disappeared from the camp, and now the camp counselors have gone missing. Thankfully, before they were abducted, the counselors contacted Ham Helsing, the Vampire Hunter and his crew.

When Ham arrives, he and his group try to keep the terrified group of new campers calm until the counselors return. But then, one by one, the campers go missing. Ham will have to figure out what's going on quick before they all disappear.

I enjoyed this book a lot. There were some odd parts, and there are a lot of characters to keep track of, but there were so many funny lines and situations that it kept me cracking up and turning pages. The illustrations are fun and funny and bring you along with the storyline. Overall, a great read for your graphic novel enthusiast.
