Batman and Robin fight with Pigsy over...a part of Monkey Prince's body that fell off and is rolling around moving on its own? And Pigsy better grab it quickly, before Monkey Prince transforms back into Marcus Sun, because there's no way a regular teenager could survive that!
All in all, another solid entry into this really fun series. I'm excited to see how it unfolds in the coming issues as we get to flesh out this new and exciting DC character. Read Full Review

It's fun to see Batman and Robin dealing with what they believe to be a threat when they're not the designated heroes and Marcus' continued exploration of his new powers is classic comics world-building. Read Full Review

Monkey Prince #2 is fun and bonkers and energetic and a very fresh and original experience. It's also a little chaotic, with a few too many things happening all at once and the result is a book that manages to be pretty average even if a ton of fun. Read Full Review
Monkey Prince #2 has too many things happening, too fast, and all at once. The art is bright and colorful, but the story has no time to breathe so the characters can react and feel what's happening around them. Read Full Review
This was a lot of fun. I don't know what the sales will end up being for this title, but this is easily the best thing Gene Luen Yang has written in a moment. Better than Shang-Chi, that's for sure.
Surprisingly, I really find myself enjoying this run thus far. This book is definitely geared towards, younger, hypebeast types. And that's okay, I really like it what it is. I especially found enjoyment with the throw away line explaining batman's gooberness pertaining to a failed fight with an angsty, teenage, monkey man. The art is solid and playful, Chang definitely has a unique style within the greater dc landscape. Very reminiscent of Humberto Ramos, all and all, solid fun for now. The b covers have been bangers as well.
its not bad, was entertaining.
