This is a really cool book, with a very interesting plot. The writing is smooth and steady, and the artwork is detailed as well as fun to look at. For anyone following the Secret Wars books, I definitely recommend this one. Read Full Review

The initial setup of this story might be conventional but it manages to work. It takes the common plot from many pop culture properties to survive against a world ending calamity and gives it an interesting twist with the entire family becoming Nova Corps members. At the same time the inclusion of cosmic heroes confuses the second half of this issue as it is not clear how one can be stuck on Battleworld but also be based in outer space. Combined with the odd approach to telling the story in the second half takes what was a pleasant story and confuses it. That is not to say that this was a bad issue, only that it is confusing, and that answers are needed soon in the next issue so that the reader can figure out what is going on, but the issue being divided into rough halves in terms of both pacing and quality makes this one a bit of a misfire.

Much like the debut issue, issue #2 is more exciting family drama than anything else, the newly enlisted Bakian's forced to learn the Nova Corps ropes on the fly. This structure serves to increase the overall urgency of the piece, even if some of the character interactions feel a bit rushed as a result. Read Full Review

I think it still has some issues with pacing. And Duggan is clearly playing the long game in terms of the Thanos payoff but we'll get there. For now, this book has made a significant improvement. Read Full Review

I didn't enjoy this issue nearly as much as the debut. It was majorly confusing and the plot and dialogue seemed overdone and unoriginal. I will stick around for a few more issues but I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this issue. Read Full Review
