Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Aug 21, 2019Valkyrie: Jane Foster #2 introduced us to a new kind of god, and he unarguably gives most enemies that Jane has faced so far a run for their money. They definitely proved that Bullseye had the power to bring a god to their knees, and didn't waste the opportunity to show it. In only two issues, this creative team successfully found a way to bring this new hero to a boiling point. There was no better time than now to question where Jane Foster ends and Valkyrie begins.

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Aug 21, 2019Valkyrie #2 builds magnificently on the previous issue's work by turning a cover-to-cover fight into a meaningful evolution of Jane Foster and her relationship with her new powers. Narratively and visually, this comic makes magic into reality. An inherently unbelievable story - a humble doctor using god-powers to defeat a homicidal maniac with a stolen magic sword - becomes the most believable thing in the world thanks to the creative team's consummate storytelling skill.

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Aug 21, 2019The heaviness of the action in the issue launches the series into its third issue with a line that could have come across as very silly melodrama. The issue packed more than enough punch on more than enough levels to really give that final line of the issue all the justification it needs. Its only the name of the title Thor first appeared in. But Aaron, Ewing, and company give it a whole new life as Jane Foster is launched in a bold direction for her third issue. Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Cat Wyatt
Aug 21, 2019Jane Foster's tale has never shied away from the emotional and dramatic side of storytelling. Yet Valkyrie #2 is surprising in the amount of emotional depth and loss portrayed within the pages. It is not an issue fans will want to miss. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - pauly p.
Aug 21, 2019This issue moves FAST. There's enough things happening that it never becomes a boring slog fest, especially as we see Jane coming to grips with the duty of being the Valkyrie and how sometimes sacrifice is necessary for her new role. Some of the interior monologuing falls a bit flat, but the art is fantastic and my word Bullseye looks as creepy and psychotic as I've ever seen him. The ending takes you completely by surprise, and while this series so far isn't a home run, i'm still intrigued to see where we go from here. Read Full Review

This might be my new favorite comic. Issues 1 and 2 were great. Lots of action along with great characterization and lots of surprises. Great dialogue and outstanding art.

The fight between Jane and Bullseye was exceptionally written and drawn, and Jane's inner monologue was the best part about the issue. Cafu knocks it out of the park again with the art and issue 3 is set up nicely

Valkyrie clobbers Bullseye in a full-issue fight that strikes a perfect balance between action and character exploration. The absolutely gorgeous art is so smooth that it risks being overlooked, but this book really is illustrated in a "best of all possible worlds" way. The main character is charming and we get to follow along as she learns about herself and her new powers.

Wow, that was an intense page-turner. The art was pretty good as well. Fun learning the rules of her new powers.

Brilliant art and they're really keeping the pace fast on this. Some of the jokes fell flat for me and had me confused, especially the Daredevil one but I'm fully on board now with wherever Aaron and Ewing takes us next.

Art is soooo good. And the story was pretty fun also, I'm liking Jane without the baggage of cancer and having to be Thor. I don't like the ending however, it seems to slow down the plot a lot by having Jane go off on a random space adventure when all the fun stuff was her on Earth stopping small time crimes while balancing her normal doctor life, which was fun. But it is Jason Aaron and Al Ewing, and both have written good fun space stories, so we'll see

"A walking talking Hippocratic oath violation" I'm sorry, that is a terrible line. The rest of the issue was a pretty good fight between Valkyrie and Bullseye. I'm still onboard with this series. "Wait, didn't Spider-Man kill someone doing this?" Now that's funny.
