Artist Domo Stanton and colorist Jordan Boyd bring the right amount of cartoon like visuals to make it feel like they're waiting for Marvel to announce Starbrand and Nightmask: The Animated Series.

Stanton is really strong when it comes to both body types and diversity because the main background is a college campus mostly. All in all, Starbrand and Nightmask #2 fits the niche of being a slice-of-life comic with superhero undertones to great effect. Lowering two of the strongest Marvel Heroes to such a relatable level is an achievement, and let's hope the good times can continue for Kevin and Adam. Read Full Review
