Cliff Secord has finally decided to abandon the Rocketeer persona for good and concentrate on making his gal, Betty, proud of him by taking an honest-to-goodness legit gig-piloting an experimental rocket plane in a death-defying race halfway around the world! Cliff must navigate both the route and the myriad ace pilots assembled against him in order to secure one of the most valuable prizes ever offered. If only the competition were as prepared as Cliff to play it straight... Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!
Overall. A solid second issue that leaves us with an exciting cliffhanger to stew on until next month. Read Full Review
Mooney delivers some great art in the issue with awesome character designs and a bright, thrilling look to the action. Read Full Review
The Rocketeer: The Great Race #2 is a fun issue that continues to play in and build the timeless world of The Rocketeer. We are getting new characters that will have their parts to play, some obvious and some mysterious. Now we prep to enter the cockpit, participate in the great race, and see what action awaits.

While this issue is billed as the next chapter of the Rocketeer, our hero barely makes a cameo. Instead we're forced to ensure some out-of-character choices from our hero's alter ego and some one-dimensional behavior from the supporting cast. Read Full Review
Other than a short flashback of a handful of panels, we don't get the Rocekteer in action here. Everything is centered around the start of the race, the racers, and the foreboding of what the Nazi may have planned for his fellow racers and the secrets of what are really happening behind the scenes. Perhaps the Rocketeer will be needed before the finish line after all? Read Full Review
An underwhelming issue that fails to get off the ground. Read Full Review
This is all nostalgia and nothing else, perfect for fans of the old Rocketeer comics and not much else. Read Full Review
Not too much action, but a pretty good issue. It's fun to return to a time long past to see the adventures of a hero from that time. I look forward to seeing how the race progresses.
