[Justin Biondo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Huck is always a nice change of pace from some of the other Mark Millar characters and this volume is no different. I’m sure reading it as a trade is likely a lot more fluid but this was still a fun read

[Cale · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found the first volume of Huck to be one of Millar's most enjoyable works, very different from his darker tendencies like Wanted and The Magic Order and the like. This volume turns away from the first volume's corny wholesomeness, as assassins decide to wipe out the good-hearted heroes of the world. While it still manages to have a relatively happy ending, it spends the majority of its length wallowing in the misery that is Millar's stock in trade. And it doesn't really convince me that its ending is justified, or that he really believes in the idea that good might actually win out.
It's still an enjoyable enough story, but the tonal difference from the first volume might give you whiplash. If you persevere, it veers back toward the tone of the original, but never quite gets all the way back.

This was a good sequel. The story itself is quite an odd one, but it’s so full of goodwill and hope that it’s hard not to like it - and even it that I enjoyed the offbeat plot itself.

Millar should be doing Superman, not Gunn.

[Craig · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not absolutely terrible, like some other Millar books recently. But also, not all that great, either. Instead of being outright mean-spirited, this story goes too far in the other direction, getting to be just a bit too goody-goody, Pollyannaish. The art is decent.

[Ushnav Shroff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quite good - but not as great as the first one.
