Definitely a good issue but the overall narrative is a trade-wait scenario

A quick read with enjoyable art. I'd say wait for the trade.

The story feels rushed and the series could have benefited from one more issue to fill out its conclusion. Not a bad ending, but definitely a meh one.

Giant-Man #2 is an okay read, but it feels repetitive and there's nothing fantastic to balance it out.

The X-Treme 90s is dead and we should let it rest. Major X #2 shows us why
