Picking up where volume 1 left out Sink volume 2 chucks the reader in at the deep end.
Issue 6 sees more twisted situations revolving around the clowns and that dammed blue van.
Issue 7 shows that whilst we’ve seen the nice (?) side of Si, that was but a brief moment. His reach extends and it shows the detriment of people trying to do ‘the right thing’
Issues 8 and 9 are Sink’s first double issue story and I’m glad it focused on Mr Dig. The issues give us more insight in to the man behind the mask and the reach he has doing the good (?!) he does.
Issue 10 is romantic comedy as only Sink could produce!

A continuation of the modern horror masterpiece from Cormack and Lees, I would buy these two volumes for the following subset of people:
People who love horror!
People who love comics!

While the first volume was just ok, this one is splendid. I find myself wanting more. The volume features the first 2-issue story which proves that the author has longer stories in him. Also there is more of a chance of future volumes putting named characters in the same story. We have an almost wordless story, a story of survival, humor, even love - all sprinkled with mindless violence and gallons of blood. 'Sink will return', but it's anybody's guess when.

The clowns' latest victim manages to get away from them before being 'processed'. She relishes in punishing them for what they put her through, though in the end she succumbs to their chemically-induced madness.

Jordan, one of the initiates in the Dickheads gang is worried he won't be able to make the cut before his 30th birthday. Emma with the lost dog is his close friend and she decides to help him. He fumbles every one of her plans and must face Si for something called the Lead Balloon. Which is Si having a laugh at Jordan's expense - with a birthday cake, no less. He survives and decides to be a good guy. Too bad that his curiosity gets the better of him. He is killed by the bus driver with corpses in the back.

After their apartments were demolished, a family of Iraqi immigrants is invited to live in a newly-built building. It's meant as a trial for other potential buyers who don't find Sinkhill desirable. The locals are anything but welcoming, so the father of the family suspect something is amiss. When one of the neighbors turns up dead, he decides to take his family and leave. But it's too late. It turns out that the building is an arena where cold-blooded killers are filmed killing innocents. Rojan's family might not be helpless, not when the father is former military and at night he becomes Mr. Dig. The massacre that follows is a sight to behold. Rojan defeats three of the four killers and gets unexpected help from his neighbors for the last one. Rather than leave the place, they claim it as their own. Rojan is home.

A couple who met online are trying to have a fun first night. Their kinky S&M plans get interrupted by the Dickhead gang. Fortunately, their many toys come in handy to beat up the Dickhead amateurs. And they get a happy-end. It couldn't have happened to a lovelier couple.

The first 2 stories I didn't care for much, the last one was decent

The 2 parter...oh I have things to say
I really liked who Mr. Dig is revealed to be. With characters like him you usually see a rough and tough middle aged white guy with a sad overly tragic backstory and his family is either dead or estranged. But here he is an Iraqi refugee providing for his family and they are aware of who he is, plus with him and the neighbors fighting back against the piece of shit landlords who used them as bait FUCK YEAH!!! And how at the end him and the other residents are making it a home for people who society doesn't care about, YES JOHN LEES DO MORE OF THIS!!! I would love to see this being expanded upon in future

Holy Hidden Gem, Batman! I need more!

An excellent follow-up to the first collected trade. This book maintains the depravity, mystery, and brutality of the first and never lets up. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this title!

[Chris Browning · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m glad there’s only a handful of issues of this because a little goes a very long way. At first it reminded me of many self published horror comics, until I realised it’s actually very well written with a surprising ability to juggle morbid humour, pathos and nihilism without ever feeling overwhelmed by any of those elements. The art is graphic but witty and beautifully done. But it’s a story like the final one in volume two that makes it: a typically nihilistic crime/ horror piece that suddenly and unexpectedly zips into a wholly new and actually very touching direction. Very good indeed

Set on the imaginary Glasgow estate of Sinkhill, another episode in ordinary city life. As mad as a box of frogs, with as much blood, humour, and imagination as the first volume. As before, manages to smuggle in some humanity beneath all the gore.
