Cute, silly, makes no sense, tons of plot holes. So... your traditional shoujo manga.
And now we have the private school arc.... Oh anime....
Huzzah! We finally get more back story about Undertaker!
Awright! Way to go Elizabeth! You're more than just a ditzy blond little girl!
So... is this supposed to be so similar to Titanic? Titanic with zombies?
Okay, let me start off by telling you that the cover of the edition I read is a LIAR. The blurb reads "What if Sherlock were the boy next door?" NO! No! I am creating a character image in my mind and you're ruining it! It should read, "What if Mycroft, Sherlock's equally smart older brother, were the boy two doors down (by the way forget we even used the name Sherlock, he's not in this book)"
Have the proper image in your mind now? Good. Mycroft is a smart, bored, and rebellious teen. He is friends with Watson ("Watts"), a country girl, recently forced to move into the crowded, smelly, city. They come across the murder of a homeless man they knew and decide they owe it to Homeless Dave to solve his murder. What ensues is a great, teen, murder mystery, characters with actual depth and back-story, believable behaviors, and tolerable, dare I say it, likable romance. Yes. No dreaded love triangles, but the budding romance between Watts and Mycroft is adorable and well done. I won't say that very often, so take heed! This was an all-around great book!

While I didn't get the usual Dexter feel from this comic, it wasn't terrible. Just a little side story. Nothing too deep. Dexter was in horrible danger for only about a page or two of montages. I understand the different chapters were the separate issues published, but the the summarizing process was a big space waster and super un-creative and repetitive. The art wasn't anything special, but not bad. So, you know, just an average comic, with an average story, with average art.
I suppose this book was alright, but not as good as all the hype made it out to be. It took a while to get interesting (almost 2/3 of the book), but it did a great job holding my attention once finished! Great read for teen boy readers, but perhaps not reluctant ones.
I think I loved this book even better than the first one! So much on the line with Veronica's new case, the race for the sheriff position (eat a dick, Lamb!), and Weevil. Such suspense! Many twists! Wow!
