Heroes Reborn #2continues to explore the world of the new Marvel Universe, this time through the eyes of the Squadron Supreme. The next issue looks to take a similar approach with the super-sonic Blur, who is modeled after the Flash; I'm intrigued to see how Aaron, McGuinness, and co. handle this character. Read Full Review

Aaron is doing a great job establishing this world, its stakes and its challenges. I like the fact that it isn't being drawn out and the conflicts are coming organically through the story. After showcasing Hyperion in the first story, the second part does a great job of bringing the reader into the drama of what is going to happen next. McGuinness' art is fantastic and his use of perspective is amazing. Read Full Review

Heroes Reborn kicks off its second issue with a focused narrative on Hyperion. This issue is like a good alternate take on Superman, right down to some winks and nods to the reader you'll most certainly get. As a single issue, it's a touch light on plot progression and Hyperion isn't the most complex of characters, but as a chapter in a bigger story, it keeps your interest and helps convey how this kind of hero doesn't work in the Marvel universe.

A really good issue that moves the story along, but at the same time stops to take a look at the current status quo of what's going on in the world. Sets things up the moves them around. Enjoyable story and enjoyable art. Read Full Review

Heroes Reborn provides a unique perspective on the Marvel World by taking out the Avengers. This issue shows us a bit about Hyperion and his misguided point of view. Read Full Review

Aaron, and artists Ed Mcguinness and Dale Keown, do make for an intriguing issue #2 overall. Diggin the artwork by Mcguiness and Keown. The fight sequences prominently feature characters tossin hands and the panels with city and landscapes contain enough detail. Aaron provides quite the backstory as to why major villains like Galactus haven't taken over the planet or epic threats like Wanda haven't destroyed the heroes of this world. Aaron also has a blast with the liberties he's able to take with turning some heroes or allies into villains. Read Full Review

Heroes Reborn #2 isn't a bad comic at all. It just doesn't feel like the “main event”. The stories feel like either slivers of an issue's worth of storytelling or they feel like something that'd normally be relegated to a tie-in. It's not bad at all but like the debut, it feels a bit like a throwback in some ways. Overall, not bad and will work when read all-together, but on its own, it's a bit of ho-hum. Read Full Review

To be kind of blunt, Heroes Reborn #2 reads like a DC comic, but not in a good way. Read Full Review

I really enjoyed this issue. I don't have much to say about it, however. It's not quite inspirational.

It's still pretty good.

Lol I'm entirely here for Tony Stark's House of Bullets. Do a shot while shooting some shots!!

While juggling the individual Squadron stories with the main narrative worries me (I can easily see one overshadowing the other) this issue mixes them well. The focus is on Hyperion but there's enough connectivity so that Avengers one, while brief, works and doesn't feel disjointed. Speaking of the Hyperion story, it's very Superman-y (as expected) but has enough changes & edges to make it worthwhile.
Art is good for both stories, though I do think the sudden change in style could've been a lot smoother.

Hyperion brutally handles a supervillain prison escape. Although a few of the baddies give him hints to the truth, Hype easily shakes off his doubts -- and meanwhile, Blade convinces a freshly-defrosted Cap that this world is wrong. It's drawn like a shiny straightforward hero comic, and written with an appropriately sinister edge. But a dark take on Superman is hardly groundbreaking. And although Hyperion's jingoism is intentionally unpleasant, it's also pretty toothless. I think in 2021 you can get a lot more incisive when critiquing American hyper-patriotism -- even if you are working in the Disney Comics Entertainment Product Factory.

Its was pretty decent. Much like the first issue it had some cool parts and some not so good. Overall, enjoyable.

While some aspects like diving into Hyperion's mind are better than last issue, others like how Steve Rogers was freed was a big question mark. Many pages are just there to make you go pick up the tie-ins. That is stupid because the story should tell you everything you need to know instead of shelling out more money. Still on board here with this but we better deliver details next time otherwise it's not going to work for the whole series to get summary text boxes of whole issues. Keown is OK but Magno was better detailed. McGuiness, Morales and Wilson should do the whole thing because they are as tight as can be.

It's fun...and much better than Aaron's Avengers!

This was a step down from the first issue. The artwork is good, but I was underwhelmed by the writing. There are too many big gaps in the story for my liking. I probably won't shell out the 5 bucks for the next issue.

Not bad issue by any means, actually quite enjoyable but I was not expecting that. The insight into Hyperion's mind is really nice. It's well-constructed and gives you a good idea of the character here.

My problem here is with the things surrounding that. Some of the villains and the other characters feel like a filler. Part of this is because mostly they are present for usually 1 page, where Hyperion is telling you their history, which also is kind of flat way of presenting. Sure they are interesting(not all) to look at, but nothing more, because after a panel they are mostly forgotten. Just the whole issue is full of references, some of which relate in a very good to the story.

Despite the flaws i found, the issue manages to give you some sense of this world and looks like it was mostly concerned with that and Hyperion. For that reason most of it feels to me like a tie-in.

Aside from the last two pages of Keown's part, McGuinness's part is the one that's relevant to the story of the event. It's actually really hyping and relates in a good way to Keown's.

Hulk got fused with Bizarro - two of my comic book favorites - just to get stamped out by the worst iteration of Hyperion. And I thought Spider-Man got done dirty ...
The lack of the MAX Squadron Supreme is going to stay as my biggest gripe against this story. I might try to ignore it.
Blade popping up like Ebon ob Static Shock was crazy, and Cap with a beard is such a crazy look I was reading him as grizzled instead of pretentious. Amazing what some facial hair can do.

A Big dip in quality for me. How is Captain America freed again? Hope things get better.
