Aspen Comics proudly presents their first ever super-hero series, IDOLIZED!
What would a real world filled with superheroes look like? In this all-new series it gets ugly, as a young, girl-next door reveals her tortured past and her desperate attempt for revenge - all while auditioning in front of the cameras and judges of the hot new TV show “"SuperHero Idol"! The IDOLIZED competition heats up in this second issue, as Joule tears through her competitors on a frenzied quest to make it into the Top 10. And, see what happens when she comes face-to-face and goes toe-to-toe with the man who destroyed her life!
The artwork of Micha Gunnell and Pasquale Qualano gives you the feel of a well depicted cartoon that is rich with detail and action. This is a fun read that you won't soon forget and it has a great ending that will bring you back next month. Oh, the variant covers with supermodel Rachel Clark are not bad to look at either.

But so far, it's very entertaining. Which is more than I can say for most actual reality TV shows. Read Full Review
All in all, there's a lot of good stuff going on here, overcoming my biased expectations of what to expect from both a comic about a reality TV show, and from Aspen as a publisher. Idolized #2 keeps up the good work, delivering a story with a nice hook, avoiding some big pitfalls and delivering strong art throughout, earning 3.5 out of 5 stars overall. I have to say that I'm kind of impressed with the simple yet distinctive costume design that we see on the cover as well, as it's very hard to create a truly unique-looking character after 80 years of superhero hijinks, so kudos is due there as well...

So, in a very creative twist, the opening panel of issue 2 also functions as a lead-in to issue 3. This book should appeal to fans of reality competition shows and X-Men type books. Definitely worth checking out. Read Full Review
Idolized feels like it is digging in deep and getting ready to take off. When it does I’m pretty sure that it’s going to be something big. So jump on now, you won’t be disappointed. Read Full Review
