☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of the Hilo graphic novel series continues the adventures of the robot boy Hilo and his friends D.J. and Gina as they face new threats and try to save the world. Written and illustrated by Judd Winick, the story deepens the mystery of Hilo's origins while delivering action-packed, humorous, and heartfelt moments for middle-grade readers.
In "Chapter 1 A Little Weird," Hilo grapples with the weight of his emotions—something rare for a robot—while confronting the growing chaos of portals opening across town. Written and illustrated by Judd Winick, with colors by Guy Major, this issue deepens Hilo’s bond with D.J. and reveals the quiet fears beneath his courage, all while the team scrambles to contain the rising threat. The cover by Judd Winick captures the story’s offbeat tone, a 13.99 USD comic in 2016 that blends heart and humor in equal measure.
In "Chapter 1: A Little Weird" from Hilo #2, Hilo returns to Earth—reconstructed from scattered parts and ready to settle in, much to D.J.'s joy. After sealing away the threat of Razorwark in Limbo, he’s left wondering what else might be waiting on the other side of the portal he didn’t quite close.
In "Chapter 2 Knock Knock" from Hilo #2, Hilo’s attempts to blend in as a human kid lead to awkward moments, especially when his friend D.J. steps in to protect him—though Hilo doesn’t need saving. When a strange robot invades, Hilo handles it with surprising restraint, then makes a surprising promise to his friends: from now on, he’ll stop robots, but never hurt them.
In "Chapter 3 Hilo's House" from Hilo #2, Hilo navigates the quiet chaos of life in a suburban world, spending time at D.J.'s house where little Lisa’s quiet affection goes unnoticed. Meanwhile, he’s quietly building a secret life of his own—owning a house and crafting a simple robot to stand in as his mysterious Uncle Trout.
In "Chapter 4 And Out We Go," Hilo takes Gina and D.J. deep beneath the surface to his hidden underground lab, where he’s piecing together fragments of his past by rebuilding enemy robots. With a makeshift unit called Beamer and a mysterious device designed to track and return robots to their home worlds, Hilo’s quest for answers grows more urgent—and more personal—than ever.
In "Chapter 5 Polly" from Hilo #2, a new portal unleashes monsters into the world, setting off a chain of events that brings the magical warrior cat Polly into Hilo’s orbit. With her promise to stay and help, and Lisa discovering the truth about Hilo’s origins, the trio forms a determined front against the looming threat of Razorwark.
In "Chapter 6 The Band" from Hilo #2, Hilo grapples with the weight of his emotions—something rare among robots—while torn between protecting humans and the growing threat of Razorwark’s hatred. As portals tear open across town, the team splits up, relying on Hilo’s inventions to contain the chaos, while D.J. stands firm in his belief that Hilo’s fear doesn’t define his loyalty.
In "Chapter 8 Brave Boy" from Hilo #2, D.J. outsmarts the monsters haunting his home, cornering them in the empty swimming pool until they can be returned to their own dimensions. With his family finally in the know about Hilo and the attacks, they offer unexpected support—though their relief is short-lived, as the group now faces a monster so vast it stretches across the landscape like a field.
In "Chapter 9 Veggies" from Hilo #2, Polly and Hilo face a terrifying new threat as rapscallions—aggressive, rapidly spreading vegetation—overrun their surroundings. With no clear way to stop them, Hilo unlocks a surprising new power: the ability to freeze, offering a fragile hope in the face of overwhelming growth. Just as they gain a moment's reprieve, Polly prepares to return to her world—only for Hilo to be suddenly confronted by a massive, possessed Beamer, now under Razorwark’s control.
In "Chapter 10: Bad Machines" from Hilo #2, Hilo faces off against Razorwark as D.J. and Gina attempt to send the rapscallions back to their dimension—only for Gina to be caught in the crossfire. As Hilo battles the relentless foe, he's forced to confront a painful truth: he was once built to destroy humans, not protect them. With Razorwark banished to Limbo and the cost of Beamer’s life weighing heavy, Hilo vows to find Gina, but before he can act, they’re surrounded by an advancing army.
