Mar 20, 2023Bishop: War College #2 does an excellent job showing us a complex story, but it lacks thematic unity between all the story beats. Read Full Review

Mar 16, 2023Where is this going? I don't know. But I am fascinated to see where it goes. It's a fun time travel, multiversal shenanigan mystery, added in with a dose of "here's what Bishop's missing." Read Full Review

Mar 15, 2023This series just hasn't clicked for me yet, but there are some quality pieces on the board, and hopefully those can come together as the story continues. Read Full Review

I don't really like how disconnected the A and B plots seem to be. Completely separating the two makes it feel like hardly anything happened in this issue. I'm sure they'll converge, but for right now, it's not great.

I feel like I'm through the looking glass here. Am I the only one that sees the emperor's nudity? I simply cannot find anything positive to say about the storytelling, neither the words nor the art. Even calling it "competent" feels too charitable. There are a few potentially-workable mysteries floating in the plot, but the structure and pace of the script erode tension and discourage reader engagement. As for the political ramifications of an African-American alternate universe, well, I'll reserve judgment until the story lumbers onward and explains Earth-63 a bit more. But the level of storytelling talent shown so far doesn't fill me with confidence. I better prepare the ten-foot pole.
