This is a fun issue. A lot happens within its pages, but it's all balanced out so well that everything fits nicely. The pacing is tight, the writing crisp, and the art solid. If you're looking to relax with some light reading, then give this book a chance! Read Full Review

The Artists deliver some great art throughout the issue. I would have liked to see more action to match the tension of the plot. Read Full Review

Overall, Future State: Batman/Superman #2 was an enjoyable read and showcased a fun, yet interesting, dynamic between the two heroes. The way things were left between Batman and Superman at the end comes across as a strained and tense friendship, and yet with the vague feeling that if push comes to shove, egos will be put aside to help the other out.

Future State: Batman/Superman #2 concludes this very near Future State title with glacial pacing, explanations that are paper-thin, and gross body horror art. Thankfully, the art is the highlight of the issue, but this title is one of the mediocre Future State experiments. Read Full Review

And so Future State officially ends. Well, there's still going to be few related releases next month, but the hectic two month long event finally reaches the finish line, and I couldn't be happier because after 8 weeks of reading (and reviewing) every single comic from it, I feel drained and exhausted. It's been a very rough and uneven ride, with some good comics, some terrible ones as well, with their quality shifting faster than time signature in a Dream Theater song.

This comic is my last to review. Why this one? Dunno, honestly. If I was to make a punchline regarding this event, I could have chosen a better fitting title, but by sheer accident this one's the last, and there's no real big analogy concluding Future State. Because it is a consistently decent comic. There's no big shake-ups, there's no revolutions, it's just a fun little escapist read. Gene Luen Yang plays very safe, giving us a pretty good mystery, albeit predictable (which I really can't criticize him for - after all it'd be near impossible to write something truly surprising AND 2 issues long), and setting up the reason why fascist controlled Future State Gotham City is on its own.

And probably that reason is what left me with somewhat bitter taste in my mouth. It's just... a rather forced, won't you agree? Yeah, I get it, it was necessary and all, but the explanation and Bruce's reasoning are pretty off. I can't say I enjoyed this sudden and radical turn of events. I believe this could have been handled better.

Overall not a bad comic - probably one of the safer and most digestible entries from this horrendously uneven event. more

This was alright. Nothing special.

Much improved over last issue if you ask me. The mainplot is still not that interesting. I don't find the false face society nor Mistery Pyg intriguing nor threatening enough to warrant the team-up. However, the dynamic between Bruce & Clark is strong. It's what their dynamic should be, even if I find Bruce to be a bit to much of a, well, prick.
Art's not bad either. The designs of the monsters are pretty good, decently horrifying.
