Mark Russell and Steve Pugh improve in their second outing, as The Flintstones #2 continues to build and expand on what the series debut put forth. Russell's humor here is great, and he makes sure that the issue has a bit of heart as well. The artwork by Pugh and Chris Chuckry is stellar, and works well to make Bedrock feel real. Like the original cartoon, The Flintstones #2 is a great satire of modern life, the prehistoric world is only as crazy as our real one. Read Full Review

I never thought it'd be possible, but The Flintstones is the best of DC's Hanna-Barbera revamp on the rack. Mark Russell writes a hilarious comic with biting satire and social commentary that hits the bullseye so accurately it's scary. Steve Pugh draws recognizable yet modern and redesigned characters that works well. If you're looking for a funny and almost subversive comic about modern day, but set in the stone ages, The Flintstones is the one to read. Highly, highly recommended! Read Full Review

While I never would have guessed that out of all the books on shelves The Flintstones would be the most satirical and affecting, I am very glad that it is, proving that even classic cartoon reboots can have something to say. Read Full Review

The Flintstones #2 is a comic who has ads to buy “crap” in between pages making fun of buying “crap.” It's amazingly meta and beyond subversive. And this is also exactly what I was hoping we'd see in this series. Read Full Review

This is a great issue that definitely helps define the society at the given time period. Fred's family is expanding, his friendships are strengthening, and his relationship is solidifying. For any fan of The Flinstones, this is the ultimate throwback to give you all the warm fuzzy feelings that nostalgia has to offer. Read Full Review

The Flintstones continues to be a funny book with great moments and jokes. I have confidence that it will eventually find its footing and create a more consistent satire. DC Comics deserves a commendation for putting faith in a dark, unique, and funny series. Read Full Review

If you feel like there weren't enough episodes of the classic Flintstones cartoon, well you're in luck because this is the next best thing. It's practically the same thing, in fact, considering it satirizes American culture from ten or fifteen years ago, and the Flintstones cartoons I watched as a kid were about ten or fifteen years past relevance at that time. The art is really great in this comic book, a semi-realistic take on the town of Bedrock that grows on you as you go along. So there are really no big problems with this comic book, except for the likelihood that you may feel there are enough episodes of the Flintstones cartoon, after all.  Read Full Review

The Flintstones may not reach the heights of the unjustly unfinished Prez (no animosity in my tone there), but Russell and Pugh are carving out a spot in the publishing lineup for a charged and socially aware satire book. Perhaps if the higher ups at DC can exercise patience, The Flintstones can develop into something really special. Read Full Review

The Flintstones is one of those cases where I respect a book's ambition more than truly enjoying the end result. Read Full Review

Even thoughFlintstones #2 is a flop, do not give up on this series. Feel free to skip this issue, but don't give up on the world that Russell and Pugh are trying to create. Read Full Review

Never in 65 million years did I think I'd be digging a Flintstones comic this much. Taking on religion, consumerism, pyramid schemes, existential crises, the Flintstones has never been more adult and relevant.

I really liked the first issue but I was afraid that it would be a series of disconnected one-shots, which is what issue confirmed. I'm disappointed... Moreover, the cyncial and satirical humour, which was the best part of the last issue, is weaker.
