Parental Advisory
Run by a small child and a face that will be familiar to life-long Marvel fans, this #2 not only gives us the whole setup for the future of the series, but delivers it gift wrapped in a quality I haven't seen in comics in a long time. PICK IT UP. Read Full Review
Funny without losing the severity of the situation, Multiple Man is a great comic with art that is perfect for the book and an interesting story. Read Full Review
Rosenberg is dealing with time travel and a character that's been dead for a year. This is hard territory to navigate but he's doing it with humor, style, and crazy-fun storytelling. Read Full Review
Rosenberg really leans into all of the unlikable traits of Madrox in this issue and in doing so, finds a way to make him likeable. Read Full Review
Though it has some promising moments, MULTIPLE MAN #2 struggles to maintain the streak of its predecessor as its plot and art staggers greatly. Read Full Review
A solid second act, but something of a jog after the first issue sprint. Read Full Review
The plot gets out of control and really takes over in the Multiple Man mini-series, leaving readers somewhat detached. Read Full Review
The story continues to be all kinds of wacky, but still has enough interesting going on that keep me reading.
I feel like the time travel is already really wearing on me, but I like the characters and the writing so I'm trying to have faith.
Madrox's future selves blip him into a cheap "Days of Future Past" dystopia where one of his dupes is the Evil Emperor. There's a resistance movement carved out of his backstory, the characters snark a bunch at each other, and the timey-wimey plot begins to swallow itself. I disliked this issue pretty thoroughly, but I think my unfamiliarity with the character is as much to blame as anything. It's something that stronger writing or better art could surely get me past, though.
What makes this series so frustrating is that it focuses on the plot than Jamie Madrox himself. The usually limited series are easy to follow along with but man it’s just so hard to follow along
