What it's about: The story of the Elephantmen continues. Mappo, thought dismantled, has sleeper cells that are working to turn humans against the Elephantmen. The goal is to bring the Elephantmen together again as a fighting force against humans, a force that can be re-captured by Mappo and turned to their own devices.
What I thought: There were a bunch of subplots that didn't really seem to go anywhere, some of which seemed to just trail off without resolution. There was shifting art from issue to issue that completely changed the look and feel of the story. There was a general discontinuity of story. Overall, it seems like an idea that got away from its creators.
Why I rated it like I did: This book had more narrative wheel-spinning than the last. Attempts to open up the world just turned into unfinished threads, without wrapping up anything that had come before.

Entertaining comic book series, lengthy but well worth it.
This huge volume continues the story about how the Elephantmen and their human companions cope in this post-war scenario. All the major characters, animal and human, are well catered for and bring humour and pathos to the plot. There’s a lot going on and, with a variety of artists, the end product is exciting, involved and impressive. Read Mammoth Book 1 first perhaps but this book also works on its own.
