RATED T+
The first issue of this series flawlessly introduced us to a new world.Avengers: Twilight #2 picks it up from there and shows us that these characters want theirold world back. Read Full Review
Great writing, solid action, and fantastic artwork make this another near perfect comic book issue. The only downside is that it suffers from being a middle chapter in a story and is burdened with a fair amount of set up for what is to come ahead. I have no doubt, however, that what is to come ahead will be nothing short of magical. Read Full Review
Avengers: Twilight #2 continues to flesh out a new vision of the Marvel Universe, with its creative team tackling some truly timely subjects. With the big reveal of this issue, I can't wait to see what the next installment brings and what else has happened to Earth's Mightiest Heroes after their fall from grace. Read Full Review
Acuna delivers some beautiful art throughout the issue. The imagery is visually engaging and immersive on every page and panel. Read Full Review
Overall,Avengers: Twilight#2 is moving forward at an underwhelming pace with just enough alternate universe spunk to keep the title interesting as it begins to drown under its heavy but underserved thematic core. Read Full Review
Avengers Twilight #2 is a fascinating exploration of Old Man Captain America in a dystopia but has a lot of themes that are too prevalent for modern events. Read Full Review
With a great reveal of who is running the current status quo of the world Avengers: Twilight #2 is a strong follow-up to the world-building from the first issue. It created even more questions about whether Steve Rogers's return as Captain America can be what turns things around. The answer to that question after this issue appears to be no. Which creates a lot of intrigue into how the narrative will be developed from here. Read Full Review
The writing is very strong, the art is phenomenal, and each issue so far has been a good, solid read. Just know that it's exactly what it says on the tin. Read Full Review
The art is decent, action interesting, but the concept continues to be far better than the execution. Read Full Review
Unfortunately, the whole thing is a bit too trite and predictable. So far, this comic doesn't feel like anything more than another Avengers in the future story. I feel like the pieces are here to make it a lot bigger and better, but Avengers: Twilight just isn't there yet. Read Full Review
Fantastic art and writing. Zdarsky is cooking an all timer here.
Plot
Captain America returns and begins to fight against the abuses of power that the government exercises over the inhabitants and hides. The media is controlled by the state and only shows the supposed goodness of the government and its Avengers, who have been committing crimes against humanity throughout the planet for decades.
Luke Cage had already gathered a group of young superhumans to form the Defenders underground, but Steve needs heroes with more experience and that is why he contacts Kamala Khan who is retired but affected by the consequences of H-DAY.
Jarvis is the CEO of Stark Industries and represents all the evil corporations on the planet and is the one who raised James Stark as a being full of hat more
Almost perfect. I'm a sucker for Old Man CAP. A man destined to always be out of time and out of sync and I love Zdarsky's take on him in this future dystopia. I like that we are getting answers and reveals in a nice pace and this is where a mini series beats a 30 issue slow burn that could go stale unlike a mini. But the star here is Daniel Acuna! His art is phenomenal, beautiful and serves the story with his futuristic design and attention to details that immerses me into it. His stuff belongs in a museum lol

**SPOILERS**
Summary: Cap knocks out two SHIELD soldiers who were harassing a homeless man. At the secret underground base, Rosa tells Cap that he has ruined her life & that they're through as a couple. At the White House, Kyle Jarvis tells the president that they are going to send in the Thunderbolts to deal with the Defenders. Jarvis reminds the president that he is the one in charge. Cap goes to Kamala's home & asks her to join his Avengers, but she refuses. Kamala then goes to listen to the Defenders' pirate radio broadcast. In Times Square on New Year's Eve, the Defenders are attempting to hack into the TV broadcast when they are spotted by SHIELD soldiers & engage with them. Thun more
Good read once again. I liked Acuña's art as a whole here more than Issue 1, but I was just a little less interested in Zdarsky's story this time around, so it evened out to another 8.5/10 score. Either way, I'm really intrigued by the world being built here and I think Zdarsky does a great job writing Steve.
This book is staying strong. Zdarsky is speedrunning some vaguely Hickmanesque setup, and that brisk, economical storytelling is 100% okay. Good stuff.
Art: 3.5/5
Story: 4/5
Total: 7.5/10
While the action of this issue was supposed to leave the heroes feeling deflated, that was my feeling, too. It’s also bugging me that Steve looks like George H. W. Bush after years of steroids.
I liked it a little better than the first issue. It felt like it had more substance, but still has such a preachy side to it that it's hard to ignore its faults.
