I got in a couple of weeks ago. It felt really odd and different from the first volume, though Moore has a habit of taking the story in directions you didn't expect. For instance, I originally thought it was going to be Hyde betraying the League, and using his secret ability to see Griffin to take him out. Of course, he still did that last part, and... damn.

I just thought the ending of the volume was kind of abrupt. Didn't really care for that.

And Rupert the Bear as a minion of Dr. Moreau made me LOL.

Is there any word on possible sequels, like on the League of 1913?

if i'm correct ( and i hope i'm not ) but i think Vol. 2 is just a novelised version of the movie?

No, Vol. 2 deals with

The invasion of the martians, i.e. the "glowing lights in the skt" at the very end of Vol. 1.

Volume 2 was very good. However there isnt really any good continuation from 2 to a possible third installment (after what happened to two of the characters).The martian spider bot things were sweet. Its a shame that Alan Moores great graphic novel was turned into such a shitty ass movie, though.
