    If you love wizards and warlocks, magic and mystery, and adventure and action, this is a series to add to your pull list. Read Full Review

    Multiversity Comics - Matthew Blair Mar 27, 2020

    While the rapid pace doesnt really allow readers to sit back and enjoy the story, it is a rare second issue that serves as an effective jumping off point for the entire series for new readers. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Robert Mammone Mar 29, 2020

    An enjoyable follow up to the opening issue, with plenty of efficiently told world building and some boisterous action. A crowd pleaser, for sure, but Hidden Society #2 isn't necessarily a story built to break the mold of similar tales. Read Full Review

    It's been said that everything's been done, but Hidden Society does things differently and with enough nuance and flourish to separate itself from the pack. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Antonio Mireles Mar 25, 2020

    This issue is set up to define the world in which the characters are living in but there leaves more to be desired. This issue feels slow because it sets up the future battle between a newly formed group on the side of justice and an ancient evil and their supporters. I would have liked it if this issue spent a bit more time to focus more on the Siblings of Nihil and their motives. Read Full Review

    Who are these heroes? Why should we care? Only crickets respond. With all of that said, the designs for the villains and layouts are excellent, simply lacking the flavor and details that might transform an adequate story into a memorable one. Read Full Review

    Sequential Planet - Marcus Orchard Mar 23, 2020

    Hidden Society is a fantastic looking book that is just boring to read. We've seen this story before, and Rafael Scavone is simply unable to take the tropes he is working with and make them feel fresh for the reader. Unless you are heavily invested in the art, this series is likely going to be a pass. Read Full Review
