This is definitely not a team book like anything else DC is putting outit's far more cerebral, so much more ambiguous, and it works as both a unique next step for Kate and Luke, and for the larger Wildstorm universe that has been floundering since it was sunset as its own thing. This issue gives us our first look at how the book might work as a regular series, and it's a very promising picture. Read Full Review

The latest challenge for DCs newest super-team displays an emotional driven tale. The HiveMind balance the drama and excitement with fantastic writing.

Outsiders #2 continues to plumb the hidden depths of the DC Universe, providing an alternative to the usual caped-and-cowled crusade of other books. There's plenty of obscure, interesting elements of the DC Universe to explore, and I for one hope this book uncovers all of them. Read Full Review

This was a step in a different direction, that I wasn't expecting. Outsiders #2 is an adventure that you won't be able to put down. Read Full Review

The narrative alchemy of the Outsiders' new status quo did take a second to find its footing, but this issue proves just how intriguing the end result can be. Read Full Review

Outsiders #2 continues the great concept of superheroes going after the unexplored corners of the DC Universe, confronting bizarre threats and phenomenon. Though I love the concept of the book, I feel Luke and Drummer arent written in a dynamic way. Hopefully as the series goes on, the characters will grow to be as fascinating as the situations they face. Read Full Review

Some story choices in this issue call this entire series into question, even if the writing and art remain strong. Read Full Review

Outsiders #2 is taking a procedural monster of the week format. For the most part, there is finite connective tissue between each issue so far. As a result, I can assume that whatever mysteries or unknowns the heroes encounter will remain mostly self-contained. The humor works to cut through the awkward scenarios, though it seems as the Outsiders don't have a clue what they're doing. Moreover, the illustrations on the page vary in quality, but overall I'd say readers shouldn't have much of a problem outside of poor layout and choice of copy. On a positive note, I like the unofficial trend of getting a new Batwoman costume each issue. So far, the book finds a way to be fun while starving readers of satisfying answers. Read Full Review

This issue is not as attention-grabbing as the last issue. At the same time, it still tries to tell a different type of story in the DC Universe, and for that reason alone, I think this issue and series should be given a chance. I would prefer that the writers not try to make this series a cameo series where we see forgotten and underutilized characters, that is a disservice to the characters of Batwoman and Batwing, two decidedly outsider members of the Bat-family.

Outsiders #2 has great art and the seed of an interesting story, but the plot's a poorly executed mess. Lanzing and Kelly manufacture conflicts without doing the work to set them up properly, and the resolution relies heavily on assumptions and guesswork. Read Full Review

The cover is really cool and up my alley. Shame the book can't match the feel or quality.
