  I really enjoyed my time with this issue. This is everything you want in an all-ages book; there's something for everyone. It's charming, vibrant, action-packed, and overall lighthearted. I definitely wish I had gotten into something like this when I was little but even at 20 I found things to enjoy. I especially liked how the world was flipped upside down and it's a day ahead when Grimiss goes to the South Pole. The quick bond between him and "senor chupacabra" is also quite funny as well. I can't really say anything negative about this book-I wouldn't have read this if I wasn't reviewing it but I'm glad I did. If you're into all-ages books, you definitely need to pick this one up.

  After being utterly delighted by the first issue of this miniseries, the second installment manages to do it just as right while settling down in a way as it doesn't have to introduce as much. We do get some fun in the snow with the yeti and I like the way they presented that, but this issue feels like it's a lot more Grimmiss than the first issue and that works very well. The dialogue is fun and I can largely figure out the Spanish myself along the way, with some interesting translations being done online on the side, and I do wonder what I'm missing in those areas. But overall there's just a whole lot of magical charm about this show that works very well and makes for an engaging, fun and very silly time with it. Very recommended. Read Full Review
