Bram's wild and very public response to the Apocalypse brings a cult of followers to his door - and warring agents of the End Times! Ben, meanwhile, gets blue balls and a trip to Hell. Destruction! Betrayal! Crotch-grabbing! And the violence kicks into high gear!

    The art by Rem Broo continues to do a great job keeping the panels fluid and interesting. This issue has a particularly large amount of dialogue, but it never bogs down the art. Instead the art enhances things and keeps things moving. Read Full Review

    The Weekly Crisis - Grant McLaughlin Feb 17, 2013

    The End Times of Bram & Ben is a heck of a lot of silliness and fun. The book's creators put the Christian apocalypse story to excellent use in their comedic tale of two roommates taking opposite sides on the road to the end of everything. With next issue set to feature Burning Bram, an outdoor concert featuring 66.6 hours of revelry, I imagine things will only be getting better. Read Full Review

    Unleash The Fanboy - Harrison Rawdin Feb 13, 2013

    The End Times of Bram & Ben #2 is a stellar follow-up to its first issue, as it sets the saga apart by laying the groundwork for its ultimate endgame. Because of all that this release comes highly recommended. Read Full Review

    The Weekly Crisis - Hansel Moreno Feb 12, 2013

    I love the flowy cartoony art that Rem is putting out and the puns, innuendos and quips are bountiful. I read this comic grinning ear to ear. This comic is not for the easily offended but enjoyable, not for mocking religion, but mocking the human condition of these mildly sinful slackers. Read Full Review

    IGN - Benjamin Bailey Feb 14, 2013

    Rem Broo's art has a frantic, exaggerated feel that adds to the fun. This issue looks a bit sketchier than the previous one, and has a slightly more incomplete feel. The backgrounds drop out a bit too often and details drift in and out of panels. Still, when the book looks good, it really looks good. Ben's trip through hell is especially fantastic, as is the battle between a helpful demon and a socially-awkward angel. It comes down to this: The End Times of Bram and Ben is comic book nirvana. Read it, seriously. Read Full Review

    Read Comic Books - Cody Mudge Feb 11, 2013

    The End Times of Bram and Ben is definitely not a comic that will appeal to everyone. If what you've read in reviews sounds like it could amuse you or your curiosity has been piqued by a solicitation, go and check it out! This is one of the best and most creative mini-series from Image in months and readers faithful to the publisher will find a lot to love about Bram and Ben. Read Full Review
