Rated T+
It's on par with the first issue, but the repetition and exposition can get a little frustrating. Still a beautiful sight to behold, and a nice look inside Quicksilver's head. Read Full Review
This miniseries traps readers with a single narrator exploring a world in which he is the only moving object. What sounds like it ought to be a nightmare after longer than one issue has found a unique charm in its mystery plotting. Read Full Review
Quicksilver: No Surrender #2 is a hard comic to recommend considering how little of consequence happens in this issue. That said, it is an excellent depiction of Pietro and a solid character study of the same. As such, I do have to point people in its direction. I dug it a lot, and I think others will to so long as they have a healthy appreciation for Pietro Maximoff. Feel free to check it out. Read Full Review
I love you, super fast sassy child.
The 2nd issue is even better than the first and I love the art. Saladin Ahmed’s background in writing novels and poems shows off here with incredible dialogue. Pietro is written perfectly and I can’t recommend this enough
Great character-driven narration. It's an interesting take have a single character throughout the book but Ahmed manages to make it work.
Quicksilver is fighting all over the world as his eerie lightning-doppelgangers threaten friends and family. The script takes the opportunity to paint a multi-faceted, mercurial portrait of Pietro; that's excellent. The art curls up deeper inside the constraints of the story - limited palette, sketchy characters - and becomes thoroughly unimpressive to me. This is an above-average comic, but (thanks mainly to the visuals) it's not one I'd ever care to read again.
Ahhh I love the smell of a lecture in the morning. We get it Saladin Ahmed, you hate the US and apparently all European countries.
As if that wasn't boring enough, the stylistic choice of using monochromatic tones for 2 issues feels like I'm being cheated out of some proper art and inking. I'm finding it really hard to justify the cover price with this series... Which is a shame since I loved No Surrender and really wanted a Quicksilver story, and all I get is this.
