Falcon #2 continues off of the first issues promising start with aplomb. Its another intense and powerful read with great characters, incredible art, and a lot to say about the world. I highly recommend this one. Give it a read. Read Full Review

‘Take Flight' part 2 wasted little time addressing the villainous motives behind this riot that may just eat Chicago from the inside out. A lot happened in just one issue which you didn't expect for it being the second. Momentum is key right now and they are taking full advantage of what that produces in a story that is fast and to the point. Read Full Review

Falcon and Patriot's new partnership, and budding friendship, is the heart of this book. Sam having a young partner to mentor should be the driving force to him growing past the darkness in his rear view mirror. Rodney Barnes has good handle on the duo, tapping into their potential confidently. Read Full Review

The work with Sam as Captain America holds a special place in my heart, so I'll keep giving this series a shot because I sincerely want it to be good. It's just not there yet. Read Full Review

It's never a great sign when the title character is the least interesting player in their own book. That's turning out to be the case for this new Falcon series. Read Full Review

The Falcon as written by Rodney Barnes is easily one of Marvel's most poorly written books. The hero's motivations are paper-thin and he has no complex characterization. The villain's dastardly plot is rife with gaps in logic and will not in any way lead to him taking over the earth. The gang members are toxic stereotypes. And all of the jokes are painfully unfunny.

There is potential for this series. It hasn't found itself yet but it still remains on my pull list. The first two issue of this series read like a #0 introduction. This issue was most about the partnership between Falcon and Patriot. The future looks bright this partnership, but the energy and intensity of this comic needs to be raised. We have already had an amazing series in the Captain America Sam Wilson comic so I doubt there is a lot of patience for going back to square one. Cassara still provides solid art and great street-level look for this book.

My advice to Barnes would be, "don't make the first volume a slow burn." Put some bang into the next three issues. Then when readers are on board continue the character study. continue in the direction of streets on fire and Falcon doing everything he can of keeping a community together.

I have high hopes for issue 3. more

Chicago explodes in full-blown riots, but the farcical incompetence of the baddies makes it look like Falcon's taking this too seriously. Inconsistent tone and a surplus of jokes - most of which get very stale very quickly when you re-read the issue - hold Falcon #2 back. Joshua Cassara's art is still very tasty, though. His initial riot scenes are impressive in their grit and detail.

Issue two was better thank to Jericho Drum part. I also like the part Blackheart leave with Dray in astral form.
I really like the idea of a meeting of big bad cosmic entity talking about how little humans slap their a... ^^
Patriot was like he want quit the game now that's harder. I really don't like him.

Cover : Not beautiful but in link to the story 1.5/2
Writing : I like how he write Jericho ... I would prefer a ongoing about him ^^ 2/3
Arts : Still good 2/3
Feeling : Too dark, but better 1.5/2

Overall, it was average at best. Sam is in way over his head. Voodoo guest starring helped.

The writing is getting better but I'm just not a fan of the art.
