"To The Cafeteria ... FOR JUSTICE!" is the second of the PS238 collections (here, issues 6-10 and assorted shorts); it's a humor series about a boarding school for superhero children. Author/Artist Aaron Williams is still doing a bit of character introduction - particularly in the shorts - and assorted single-shot issues; but there's also the first of the comics that will tie into a larger plot arc.

He also gets much better use out of Tyler Marlocke - a kid without superpowers placed in the school by overbearing parents - and his straight-man routine than in the first volume. (The best of the volume is probably "Night School", the start of Tyler's training with the Batman-like Revenant.) Williams also starts to work in more dramatic storylines, bringing in Harold and the old Rainmaker program, which will be dealt with more in future volumes as the first of the multi-part storylines.

The higher drama/tension of the "Project Rainmaker" comic works well, but lacks a lot of the humor of the other issues; still, the quality of these issues is an improvement over the last volume overall, with introductions out of the way for a lot of the cast and Williams starting to use the concept a little better.

Williams again picks up where volume one left off. So many reasons for a reader to love this book, from the trials of the non-"powered" student, the villianous Zodon and his "V" chip, to the innovatve takes on "standard" super hero powers putting such a spin as to create a sense of newness and wonder that is missing from most gaphic novels today. You are doing yourself a disservice if you haven't read ps238 yet! ( )
