    Once again this book is perfection. The entire creative team works so well together to craft a fun narrative with beautiful artwork. This is my favorited book right now hands down. With only two issues out, it's still a great time to jump on, you don't want to miss out. Especially with the tease of what's to come at the end of this issue. Read Full Review

    Overall, West Coast Avengers #2 is a strong character-driven installment that explores the themes of trauma, redemption, and trust. While the pacing might be slower than some readers expect, the issue effectively sets the stage for future conflicts and adds emotional depth to the series. Read Full Review

    West Coast Avengers #2 builds on the chaotic energy of its debut, delivering sharp dialogue, entertaining character dynamics, and a fun mix of humor and action. While the art occasionally falters and the team's struggles against Stevil strain believability, the issue sets up compelling conflicts and continues to embrace its offbeat charm. Fans of unconventional team-ups and witty banter will find plenty to enjoy as the dysfunction ramps up. Read Full Review

    I liked the into to fire star and how she didn't like ultron because of what she did with Nemrod during fall of x it's a tad confusing why there is 2 ultrons but I'm sure we will find out later good book overall

    The characters remain well-written and the plot remains intriguing. However, the art occasionally feels jarring and detracts from the overall reading experience.

    This book is not getting any better. I love the aerial fight with Jessica, and that's about it. The lightning boy gets on my nerves and I don't see why the WC Avengers has to be the new Thunderbolts. Giving villains a chance at redemption isn't really an Avengers moniker. The only way Ultron works if he becomes a villain and they learn their lesson about bad AI, but instead we get a second Ultron. That is a really bad idea. I also do not like Firestar's new costume. Can we just go back to what worked? My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/xxibW1jBXSc

    This comic is messy. I get that the team are supposed to be bad at working together, but giving such a massive introduction to Firestar, which served no purpose, and didn't add to her flaking out, seemed a misjudgment when the Angelic Ultron was reduced to pretty much one page with risible and basic dialogue. On that point, the voices are indistinct, Spider-Woman and Blue Bolt both saying "you're welcome" immediately after each other doesn't help. Lord knows what the Spider-Woman "slapping" line was meant to achieve beyond a very weird visual image. If she's pulling her punches, write that, keep it simple. Yet, having said that, this comic is aiming for something interesting. It just needs the author to get out of his own way. The Ste more

    this was a step down sadly. The pacing, character interactions don't grab my attention like the first issue did

    Maybe I was blinded by nostalgia when I reviewed the first issue of this new West Coast Avengers book. This wasn't fun.
