Exodus acting as a series of one-shots to set up new characters in the 2099 timeline has been something of a breath of fresh air. Read Full Review
Spider-Man 2099: Exodus #2 is a solid comic that builds on its world infusing different genres in an already intriguing story. It switches things up a lot taking what feels like inspiration from other genres than what have been explored in the past with the line. Overall, it feels like it celebrates the 2099 of the past while setting up the 2099 of the future. Read Full Review
Spider-Man 2099: Exodus #2 shifts focus on to Loki and this new Valkyrie in the dystopian future. The story about them is functional but somewhat underwhelming particularly with this depiction of Loki. Meanwhile, the new Valkyrie serves as a functional supporting character with a background that fits with this Cabal storyline but readers' mileage will vary on how compelling they think she is.

Spider-Man 2099: Exodus #2 makes the bold move of telling two issues in a row in a Spider-Man 2099 arc that have nothing to do with Spider-Man 2099. the art is very good, and this new origin story about Valkyrie 2099 is interesting enough, but the timing of events is out of whack, and the main arc is at a complete standstill.

Redemption only goes so far, especially when it's still a mystery for the overall arc of the storyline. Read Full Review
A good book for a different title. Unfortunately a big miss with this issue, hopefully, things will pick up for this series pretty soon. Read Full Review
Really hits, the thread of character intros into this verse is solid. This one was not as good as Winter Soldier 2099 but still pulled in.
Pretty interesting issue. This series should have been clearly marketed as one shots, but I am enjoying them. Dense, intriguing setup for what I assume is going to b a new ongoing? Hopefully.
It's a good premise executed with journeyman storytelling skill all around. Neither the artist nor the author commit any major sins, but they also don't evoke any real thrills.
What happened to the 2099 stuff? It's been pretty sad for the last few attempts to bring it back. This book had some brief moments but, it sure ain't a spider-man book.
