Crush & Lobo #2
| Writer | Mariko Tamaki |
| Artist | Amancay Nahuelpan |
| Cover Price | $3.99 |
If there's anything Crush knows, it's that traveling through space is a great time to load up on coffee, catch up on murder podcasts, and definitely not get sucked into a spiral of depression while reflecting on your meet-cute with the ex-girlfriend who just dumped you. When Crush's trusty travel mug runs dry, a pit stop for caffeine puts Lobo's daughter face to face with an old enemy whose vicious revenge could put an end to her journey-when it's only just barely begun! Tick tock, Crush...your father's waiting.

Jul 06, 2021A nonchalant, ironic, emotionally touchy, overall awesome, dive deep into space, and well, into Crush's crushing! Can't wait for next issue! Read Full Review

Jul 07, 2021Tamaki is still having fun having Crush address the reader with a vague air of disdain, and it works because we understand how much that attitude is a front to protect Crush from herself. Read Full Review

Jul 05, 2021While there's some confusion with the story " not always a bad thing " Amancay Nahuelpan's artwork is anything but. Nahuelpan is very consistent, and Tamra Bonvillain is, of course, one of the best there is. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Jim Werner
Jul 06, 2021With Crush & Lobo #2, Mariko Tamaki gives minimal character work through flashbacks while telling a snails paced story filled with non-funny cringe. Crush is an endearing and complex character, but unfortunatley, you wouldn't know it from reading this book, which seems to want her to be Deadpool with Daddy Issues. Read Full Review

I still find myself liking Crush's quirky nature, like there are parts she doesn't know about herself and letting herself go to enjoy herself without consequence. Plus there's how it got her to her girlfriend and the tragedy of their breakup. But I am a little annoyed that relationship is going to be spread out to the point of not feeling it that much. Gotta love the slapstick action sequences of how Crush deals with her opponents too. The absurd situations she finds herself in is too good to resist. Makes me wait in anticipation on how her interactions with Lobo are going to go down.

This is a solid, breezy issue. I still feel like Crush is gonna start getting annoying with that narration, but it hasn't happened yet.

I mean its not bad, it is just weird. Crush and that grown woman was a bit weird. But the art isnt bad which I'm not complaining.

This is cute. And Crush, at least in Teen Titans, wasn't cute. The character here is okay, but not Crush.

Gods of Olympus, this series is insufferable.
