  Comic Book Resources - Ryan K. Lindsay Dec 3, 2010

  Ultimately, this issue is a study of the villain of the piece. Kenji is a damaged and confused soul but that doesn't stop him being incredibly dangerous. This fine line is cut through the issue delicately and it seems the safety of many outweighs that of this one. I think I have a feeling why this comic wasn't called The Five Lights. Gillen and Espin pack this issue densely with great lines and visuals and the result is one of the best continuity comics being produced right now, and certainly one of the best to debut in a long time.

  As far as a second issue goes this wasnt bad but regrettably average. Gillen is a writer who has all the tools to deliver truly amazing work much like we have seen in the past.

  The Weekly Crisis - Ryan Schrodt Dec 3, 2010

  This series was off to a solid start last issue, but really faltered in this week's installment. Kieron Gillen struggles to find the right voice for his characters as he trudges through a repetitive plot. While Salvador Espin does showcase some strong work at various points in this issue, the majority of the book sees him having just as much trouble finding the right look for his work. There is promise hidden in random panels throughout this issue, but in the end, I was disappointed. Read Full Review
