I enjoyed this one more then the first version. For me it got back to the roots that make the show so enjoyable. It had a nice balance between the Simpsons family and the town people. I still don't recommend these if you don't like the show. But if you do. Then pick this up. Also you don't really need to read the first one to understand what was going on in this part of the book.

The laughs continue in Simpsons Comics: Colossal Compendium – Volume Two, another best of collection from the Bongo comic series. Featuring 10 stories (depending how you count them), Homer must once again save the plant from a nuclear meltdown, Lisa investigates the case of a stolen ice cream truck, Moe invents a new beer flavored donut, and Bartman faced his greatest enemy, himself from the future. Also included is a full-length Radioactive Man comic: issue #100 where Radioactive Man fights a robot from the future that comes from the past. With the exception of one or two segments, the artwork is really good; up to the quality of the television show. And the comedy is really well-written, playing to each of the character’s quirks and eccentricities. Hilariously entertaining from start to finish, Simpsons Comics: Colossal Compendium – Volume Two is a wonderful treat for Simpsons fans (if any).

Another good compilation of funny Simpsons comics. Some were better than other - both in terms of story and art - but overall a fun read.

The bulk of the compendium was taken up by an actual Radioactive Man comic (RM #100) which I thought was a neat idea! It skewed a little long and wordy but a fun idea on the whole.

My favs were probably the CSI Ice Cream, Bartman Beyond and the Bart doppelgänger.

Absolutely Simpsons Treat!!!

The comics are as good and fun as watching the show. Most of the lead characters have a segment. Loved Bart’s story at the end of the compendium. You not only read but visualize and imagine the voices of all characters turning out to be a great Brain exercise.

For all The Simpsons Fan! Must read.

it was okay. I liked the scenes with Homer and his family but there were some stories that I didn't care for.

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 5 out of 5]

There's really not much to say about the Simpsons comics. If you like the show, you'll probably like the comics. Great stuff.

Més fluix que el primer volum. Espero que els següents no segueixin la mateixa progressió.

Good solo stories and welcomes stories of Radioactive Man's adventures. I liked the homage to The Spirit using Homer.
