    Motor Crush continues to defy the zeitgeist by embodying what it means to create sequential art in a more literal sense than anyone else on the stands. Read Full Review

    Outright Geekery - Amani Cooper Jan 12, 2017

    Tarr, Stewart, and Fletcher seem to be character/world building at the moment, and its working out just fine. As long as its not hindering the story, it'll flow. I have no doubts for this book. Motor Crush is only in its second. Therefore, we have a ways to go and plenty of time toadd on to this book. Slow and steady wins the race, but not for Domino Swift. I can only imagine the angst, sadness, anger, and hopefully joy that will come with the next issues. It's already been a bumpyride. Read Full Review

    Overall, Motor Crush is great and Domino is comics' fastest, brightest, most intrepid new star. Very happy to continue this series, learn about its characters, and stare at the glowing artwork of a strong book. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Logan Dalton Jan 12, 2017

    Motor Crush#2 is set in a universe similar toSpeed Racerwhere a main sporting event can mean fortune or fame to its inhabitants, and the comic has loads of visual panache like the Wachowski Sisters' 2008 film if its main character had addiction problems and angered motorsports obsesseddrug cartels. But between the kicks, chases, and Mexican standoffs, Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher, and Babs Tarr explore the glorious depths of their broken, yet badass protagonist Domino Swift because motorcycle riders have lots of feelings too.

    The gorgeous candy colors and textured process feel like a glowing update to the watercolor tones of risograph printing. Super kawaii, sassy and strong, furious, brassy and brave. Motor Crush is a ride not to be missed. Read Full Review

    Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson Jan 15, 2017

    Conclusion:Motor Crush #2 is a fun book that nails the action scenes and the creators have built a really interesting vibrant world, where motorcycle racing rules the streets. The colors are very eye catching and enhance the feel of the worldand the character designs are fantastic, they really set the book apart. The story still needs that catch to keep the reader coming back. This being only the second issue it still has time to get that. Only other gripe is I don't really get the big reveal at then end, I won't spoil it but she wears a clear pink face mask and drives the same bike and wears the same clothes in all of her races so are people not supposed to know who Domino Swift is?

    Comics: The Gathering - Forrest Hollingsworth Jan 11, 2017

    Ultimately, I think the book as a way to go in terms of developing into a story with real pull, but all of the elements are so cohesive and finely tuned otherwise that I can't fault it too much. I'm still invested in Motor Crush, and I think you should be, too. Read Full Review

    We The Nerdy - Jean-Luc Botbyl Jan 13, 2017

    For the time being, Im going to be sticking with Motor Crush. In part because I feel guilty for not liking it, but in part because if it ever gets good I want to be there for it. Plus, where else am I getting Babs Tarr art? That being said, I really dont think I can safely recommend the book, at least at this point in time. Read Full Review
