Product Description
This second collection of Eisner Award-nominated artist Ben Templesmith's Wormwood moves beyond the simply bizarre and into the sublime lunacy that is Lephrechaunia as Wormwood and his posse search for the Leprechaun Queen, the only being capable of lifting the terminal curse that our hero has contracted. But if rabid leprechauns and inter-dimensional travel isn't enough to get your head spinning, enter the Squidmen, a terrifying collective of "gatherers," hell bent on ingesting everything they can get their tentacles on!

Great book
26 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ben Templesmith does it again with a captivating story of leprechauns and giant infectious squidmen. This book proves without a doubt that there is no job too weird for a little girl's corpse inhabited by a inter-dimensional worm-god and his posse of ragtag badasses.
Welcome to Leprechaunia...
18 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback
Far more risqué than the previous entries this is a solid series in the WW collection. Filthy humor, Templesmith's unique style and poignant but true to a point social commentary abound. If you enjoyed the first series, I'd wager you'll also get a kick out of these.
POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT: there may be a few...
5. It Only Hurts When I Pee (Part 1): Wormwood (WW) and company visit the leprechaun fights. WW gets bitten and fears the "spreading clover" disease after a leprechaun wants to go "Rumpty Pumpty" on Mr. Pendulum. After selecting a new corpse (can he still technically be called `Gentleman'?) it's off to find the Leprechaun Queen to lift the curse.
6. (Part 2): Medusa opens the gate to Leprechaunia. Once there WW and company interrupt "The Harvest" of the Squid-Men, whom WW clearly has a sordid history with, as they gather leprechaun for the `meat and pet markets`. After learning Leprechaunese is typical WW fashion, he's escorted to their village and welcomed with a golden rain.
7. (Part 3): WW finds the Leprechaun `Queen' (difficult to explain); however the Squid-Men also find WW. After being blamed for causing an extermination (via the common cold) the battle ensues. Leprechaunia is lost but WW and his pals escape and achieve the sought after cure.
8. Segue to Destruction (One-Shot): The Pope is attempting to convince the Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse to commence the beginning of the end. Thus far they're content enjoying themselves: hookers, blow & cheezoos. Templesmith makes an illustrated cameo as WW's biographer (almost breaking the 4th wall). Anyhow, to prevent the end of the world WW basically gives the hotel where the Horsemen are staying a billion dollars - "saved the world again, I did".

Great Series

I enjoyed the first volume of Wormwood so much that I ordered 2 and 3 as soon as I finished. And then I read them all in one sitting.
This is probably my favorite of the three. The first is slower as it sets the scene, but here the series really comes into its own, and you start to learn about Wormwood's mysterious history. Wormwood vol 2 is imaginative, fun, and disturbing all at once, and is sure to cause no end of outrage in the Leprechaun community.
This is a really great series, but stay away if you are easily offended...
