Review:
This volume contains nine stories and two of them were short stories. Since reading the first volume, I still haven't played the game yet but I do like reading the comic.
1st story: "The Green Seeds"
In this story, the birds found a jar of seeds and decided to plant a few to see what would grow. They were surprised by what grew...three green eggs. The birds were excited by this new discovery but once the pigs found out, they planned to steal the seeds so they could grow their own eggs. They succeeded in getting the seeds but both the birds and the pigs were both shocked by what hatched from the eggs.
2nd story: "Best Nest Test"
This story has Red telling the other birds that they need to update their nests he said twigs and leaves were not good enough. So the birds tried different methods each with horrible results and with red getting the worst of it he was starting to re-think his decision to make changes to the nests.
3rd story: "Bad Piggies: When Pigs Fly"
After a storm, a lot of debris washed up on Pig Island including a trampoline. The pigs plan to use it as a weapon in their war with the birds. So, Corporal Pig set up training exercises but none of the exercises seem to work except for causing plenty of injuries.
4th story: "Angry Birds UP!"
In this story Chef Pig uses a hot air balloon to try to get the birds eggs. However, he can't stand up against all their attacks and ended up abandoning his balloon on Bird Island. The birds decided to use the balloon in a hilarious way to get back at the pigs.
5th story: "Bad Piggies: Surprise"
Short Story - While on the south side of the island the pigs find a container filled with a lot of small eggs, they quickly took it to the King. However, once the Chef started to cook the eggs they all got a not so wonderful surprise especially since the king was really hungry.
6th story: "Angry Birds: Singing Rocks"
In this story, the pigs actually come up with a good plan to steal the ends by using a recorded message to lead Red into a trap to keep him from guarding the eggs but of course it didn't end well for them.
7th story: "Angry Birds: A Berry Big Mix-Up"
On a very hot day, the three blue birds made a huge mistake when they picked special blue berries to make juice for the birds. The juice makes the drinker say the complete opposite of what they mean and when the pigs hear the birds wanting to get rid of the eggs they decide to help them.
8th story: "Bad Piggies: How to Crash"
Short Story - The pigs try to come up with a way to crash safely by using jelly but the end result still didn't quite work out the way they wanted it. However, at least it was a tasty disappointment.
9th story: "Angry Birds: The Broken Slingshot"
The yellow bird Chuck trying to out do the three blue birds accidentally breaks the elastic band on the slingshot. While Matilda and The Blues went to find something else they could use, Red, Chuck and Bomb guarded the eggs as well as figure out another method for flying.
But just as Matilda and The Blues return with a springy sock, Chuck while demonstrating a new flying method crashed into the slingshot, breaking it into several pieces.
Red came up with a plan to repair their slingshot but it requires tricking the pigs into doing it. The only problem was once completed how were they going to get it back.
