This volume is cover to cover football. If that's your thing, you'll love it. If not... 
 I loved the artwork and the storyline but the content was a little overkill on the football. Yeah, that was the whole point but it's also why I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as volume 1. I have nothing against the sport but I don't love it enough to comfortably wade through 100+ pages of graphic novel covering the topic. That said, it was still a pretty damn good story. 
 One other negative was the absence of the character from volume 1 who pretty much carried the story until his untimely demise which led the way for the backstory of our MC in volume 2. I really liked that guy. He was practically a superhero. 
 That covers the two star gap between volumes 1 & 2. I still can't wait for volume 3 though anyway, just to see who it's about.
