Home #2 continue its breakdown of the terrors of the American immigration system. Anta's script does a fantastic job of both being politically charged and telling a compelling, emotional story. The book works on multiple levels, and it's a joy to read, even if it does jerk the heartstrings. Wieszczyk's art doesn't seem like it should work with the subject matter, but it does brilliantly, really capturing the feeling of the whole thing. Home is a fantastic book, and this issue keeps that up. Read Full Review

Anna Wieszczyk does a brilliant job with the art in this issue. There are so many great visual moments, but the most impressive are the emotional ones between characters. A great looking issue. Read Full Review

Home is shaping up to be a story that will read brilliantly as a collection, but the single issues are solid additions to your pull. Anata and Wieszcyzk have put a lot of care into the characters and the story, and you can feel the passion they have to bring this modern generation superhero immigrant story to the page.

Writer Julio Anta's narrative in HOME #2 empowers the stories of immigrants everywhere. Read Full Review

'Home' #2 champion's the spirit of immigrants, Latinos specifically, to persevere in the face of dehumanizing cruelty. Issue two adds important context to the origins of Juan and Mercedes' journey from Guatemala and his sudden powers. It's infuriating, sad, inspiring, hopeful, and compelling. 'Home' will make you feel something as it mixes cold reality with the fantastical.    Read Full Review

This issue drives the story by slowly revealing more of Juan's powers but takes some huge steps forward in potential. The introduction of a new character gives Juan's journey more optimism while his mother Mercedes' future is still at great risk. This story feels honest and real with a wonderful element of fantasy.

Home#2 is a refreshing representation of Latinx heroes in American comics and a powerful tale about the horrific risks of migration. Despite its serious subject matter and lack of subtlety when it comes to its racist antagonists and policies, Home #2 is still an uplifting story about family, love, and belonging. Read Full Review

While there are some interesting elements in here, there is far too much-holding Home back from being one of the greats. Read Full Review

Surprise surprise. Julio Anta not only propagates misleading information implicitly portraying whites as racist demons who hate anybody that's brown, but he also uses the term " Latinx" LOL. Reviewing this comic objectively I thought it to be slightly better than the first issue, which I felt was an absolute steaming pile of crap. Due to the race baiting, I could not score higher than a two.

Haven't read the second issue but the first was a highly impressive emotional gut punch. Putting one's own political views aside, it is to be enjoyed for what it us,..a work of fiction.
