  Christopher Sebela and Hayden Sherman's Cold War is exactly the punch in the mouth that comics needs right now. Read Full Review

  The strongest reason to read this book is you will not know what's around the next corner: some robotic monstrosity trying to kill the heroes or a memory that will bring them to their knees. The visuals are also insane with antagonists constructed by an unknown dark god, heroes bathed in ebony darting through a city, and colors that create shocks and horrors. This Cold War isn't hell, it's heaven. Read Full Review

  While I would have liked to have had a bit more about what's actually going on here, the second issue of Cold War keeps the momentum going from the first as it shifts to Vinh. The structure works well enough but avoids being a repeat of the first issue and that's definitely a whole lot of fun to watch unfold. I do want to know more of the truth of the world and what's going on but at the moment I'm enjoying the tour de force of chaos and creativity that Sebela and Sherman are employing here. I can easily see why this book may not be for everyone but it delivers something really fun for me and stands out even amid a pile of creative standouts that AfterShock has put together the last few years.

  Cold War #2 takes a step forward in character but a step back in plot. Essentially, its in a similar place that Cold War #1 was in terms of overall quality. As such, Im still intrigued enough by to recommend it with some confidence, but it does need to decide where its going soon. In any case, feel free to give it a try. Read Full Review

  Thus far Cold War #2 could definitely find interest from fans outside of normal comic readers, and I could see myself plucking down some cash to go see this in a movie theatre. Read Full Review

  It seems it's the writing that is the saving grace of Cold War. The art is unique and seems to serve a particular purpose within the context of the structure, but the unrefined style seems sloppy at times when simple scenes or characters can't be made clear to the audience. It breaks the reader's connection to the comic and having to re-engage constantly is never how a comic book should be read. Luckily, there is enough positive elements that this series is worth checking out and some may like Sherman's work, but there continues to be a lot of retooling that needs to be done for this title to rise to its full potential.
