Overall, Valiant is putting out some of the most fun comics out there, and Ivar, Timewalker is an exemplar of Valiant's high-quality storytelling.

Clayton Henry is the artist here with Brian Reber on art, Robert Gill doing the World War One sequences and Dave Sharpe on the letters. The cover art is by Raul Allen. I love the art here. At times it can be a bit simplistic but most of the time there are a hell of a lot of details packed into every page, and some of the expression-work for the characters is just amazing, such as when a (relatively) giant dragonfly comes after Neela while they are in the Carboniferous period, or even later when she is confronted with the very real possibility of being able to kill Hitler.

Ivar, Timewalker showed a lot of potential from its first issue and this one gives us a glimpse at the story formatting going forward. The series is an amalgam of Dr. Who, The Terminator, and the Magic Tree House series, making it a unique and consistently entertaining series with each issue. High praise for this issue which should have you hooked if you were ever on the fence. Read Full Review

Ivar, Time Walker #2 continues the stellar work the creative team produced on the first issue, with the energy being electric throughout. The comical use of time travel also continues to appeal, with the rich character depth only adding yet another reason for giving this series a try. Read Full Review

It's thought-provoking to me that time travel always wants to change things that have happened in the past. Van Lente eloquently asks "Who doesn't fanaticize about becoming the editor of their own life..?" Ivar, Timewalker #2 shows both sides of that argument so effectively that I still don't know what side I come down on. I just know I want to see what this time traveller takes us next and if he's really that clever Read Full Review

Certainly, there are a lot of things happening in Ivar, Timewalker, but the comic never feels overly busy or helter-skelter.It all fits in with the chaos of time-travel and the charisma they've imbued in Ivar thatmakes the reader very much want to go along on adventures with him (even if Neela is sensible enough to be skeptical). It's still early days, but if Van Lente and gang can keep up the momentum, I might just end up liking Ivar, Timewalker more than I like that other story about a time-traveling loner and his long-suffering human companion.

If youre not reading Ivar, Timewalker, youre missing out on one of the best-looking, thoughtful, and fun comics currently being published. While there are a couple of small missteps this issue, there are more than enough great moments and amazing images to keep the book firmly in the pull list pile. With only two issues to go, buy this book before youre out of time. Read Full Review

Ivar, Timewalker #2 has a lot going for it to only be two issues into its run. It is already juggling several heady science fiction ideas while presenting two compelling leads as well as being more than a bit cheeky. Beyond the amazing elevator pitch that is this book, I see Ivar, Timewalker becoming a major feather in Valiant Comics' cap, standing tall aside titles like Archer and Armstrong and The Valiant. It isn't very often that we get science fiction in comics that isn't afraid to poke fun at itself and present its leads as fleshed out human beings instead of exposition machines. Ivar, Timewalker #2 does all of these things while never losing the momentum that it gained with its debut issue, choosing instead to build on it while still developing its own unique voice. Time travelers and their tales are a dime a dozen, but Ivar, Timewalker is one of a kind. Read Full Review

The Valiant Next initiative is rife with exciting, genre-expanding titles from a Universe that was already all over the awesome map and Ivar, Timewalker is looking to make its way to the front of the pack. While still trying to get its footing just right and add just a tinge more character development, Van Lente and co. are ensuring that this book will be a gorgeous looking, smirk-inducing adventure every month. If youre unfamiliar with Valiant, dont let that stop you from giving Ivar, Timewalker a try, its familiar and fresh at the same time and, importantly, spits in the face of anonymous internet-dwelling haters everywhere.
