GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND!
Have you ever had one of those days where everything is going wrong? Like you've somehow been sucked across the infinite cosmos into the wrong corner of fragmented space-time? And you run into someone from your past you really can't stand? Like, say, someone from...beyond? If so, maybe you'll have some good advice for Monica. (She'll take what she can get.)
Rated T+
Overall, Monica Rambeau: Photon #2 is a fun second issue that will have fans scratching their head. The story by Ewing is cool. The art by the creative team is stunning. Altogether, a great second issue which will give fans some nostalgia. Read Full Review
Monica Rambeau: Photon #2 may leave some readers scratching their heads with the whiplash of events happening thanks to a certain character, but I gather that's a part of the game plan here. With more gorgeous artwork, this second issue cements that Monica is the center of the universe with mayhem and quiet affirmations about. The cliffhanger helps pull back together a solid but slightly confusing comic that hopefully is a little more cohesive in the next outing. Read Full Review
Things are getting interesting, so if you weren't super enthused about the first issue, this might change your mind. Read Full Review
The second issue of this mini-series veers off in a wildly different direction than the first issue, and I just don't personally care for this weird new direction. Read Full Review
Come for the fresh perspective on a character's position in a vast comic book landscape, stay for the series' grand visuals. Read Full Review
With a continuity-heavy thud, the plot finally kicks into gear, though it's still moving none too fast. The prose is decent, the art is good--and all the more impressive for being a rather seamless collaboration.
Even if I'm starting to get interested in the "cosmic mystery" plot, I remain thoroughly unengaged by the character work. It's not bad, but neither is it deep or novel.
I will give this title one more issue and that issue needs to have some payoffs.
I'm really sad that I'm feeling like canceling this book. This book is just really bad. It's all over the place. After 2 issues, there's no coherent story and we've already seen the Mr. Mxyplik (however you spell it), Batmite, Q, stories. It's all been done and far better. Oh, well.
The Beyonder, again. This month we got the of The Defenders Beyond (with the beyonder), we got also All Out Avengers (with the beyonder in it) and so on.
