Rated T+
This has been an extremely fun series so far. Fabian Nicieza hasn't missed a beat with any of these characters and can honestly do no wrong. The art had a few problems, mostly with over exaggerated body parts, but overall it's good. The story is really starting to get moving this issue and we are getting glimpses of things to come. Age of Apocalypse is the best it's been since the 90's! Read Full Review
All in all, with beautiful and energetic art, the right atmosphere, thrilling fights and characterization, the creative team did everything right and created another great chapter to a series that has a lot of new ideas on its own and yet manages to take the reader back to a place he loves.

The direction the series is pointed continues to be promising, but this issue just had a couple extra storytelling hiccups. Read Full Review
I apologize if my summary of this issue is so blas, but that is exactly how I felt after reading it. The story didn't really move forward, as this was nothing more then a recap of past events. I still enjoy the characters, the art and the colours, but I really wanted more from this second issue. I will more then likely pick up the next issue, as I am not ready to completely write off Age of Apocalypse, butI hope the story advances and is able to pull me back in like the first issue did.

Not quite as good as the first issue story wise, art is excellent.
