I would say it was a massive improvement, but I did think it made more sense than issue 1. I actually enjoyed it a bit more.
Writer Scott Hoffman of Scissor Sisters (Nostalgia, Wag) teams up with artist Alberto Ponticelli (Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE, Goodnight Paradise, Orc Island) for a sci-fi/horror mystery that pushes the limits of the grotesque.

It was pretty interesting in concept. It kind of got weird at the end. Well see what happens next.

I like Redcoat. This issue is no exception. Love the adventures through history.
Immortal British Redcoat Simon Pure has been alive over 100 years... and he's still a lousy shot. Enter Annie Oakley, the most famous sharpshooter of the Wild West! She always hits the bullseye... especially the one in Simon's heart. Is it love or death at first sight? With Simon, we always bet on death first.
Another good entry with a surprising ending. Curious to how this Glowing Woman leaves into the story moving forward.

It's a strong 6.5. it's not anything great, except for the shift/miles discussion towards the end. However, it was a lot of fun.

It's not most exciting issue, but it does some character work and looks amazing as always.
New Story Arc. For the first time since the Department of Truth was founded, its highest official just revealed the whole, sordid history to a journalist-a journalist who happens to be Cole's husband. Can their relationship survive the cold, hard facts? And will it all be for nothing once Black Hat mounts their counter-offensive to the DoT's...
I don't hate it, but it's just so cheesy compared to the last 8 years or so of Venom. I'll be glad when we move on and just reveal who it is already.

• Spider-Man used the last of the extra lives and is done. True death.
• The X-Men are fighting among themselves, and Doctors Doom and Strange find the situation unwinnable.
• Things have never looked more bleak.

Phenomenal issue. Hickman really dials the intrigue up as we see multiple members of the Sinister Six play their hands. Really love the little developments with Richard and Felicia. I'm also not convinced Harry is dead either, as you never can be too sure with Mysterio lingering around in the background.
SPIDER-MAN VERSUS KRAVEN!
After the horrors Peter and Harry endured during KRAVEN'S HUNT in the last issue, Spider-Man and Green Goblin turn the HUNTER into the HUNTED! But are they still prey in someone else's game?
Rated T
Another really solid issue. Good twist and good art make this one of the better issues of the series.

I'm not saying I really liked it that much, but it kind of made more sense than issue 1. I think I already ordered issue 3 from my shop so I'm kind of stuck. If it's anything like these first two I think I'm out.
Mason recovers from his beatdown and meets Shay, the queen. Benji rushes Ash to a beekeeper to save her life. The armored guards who were hived into killing each other cause everyone problems, and Noa sets a trap for Shay's worker bees only to make a startling discovery.
This book looks great and always delivers. Another good issue.
As the Tin Can Society processes their discovery during the showdown with Caliburn, they're left with as many questions as answers. To unravel the baffling truth, they must confront Hillary Cross-movie star, ascendant leader of Moore Progress, and Johnny's enigma of a widow.
I liked it to an extent. The art is really cool to look at. But what was really accomplished in this issue? I can't say it really won me over too much.
The town of New Gaulia and the Seasons sisters receive invitations to the Magical Carnival, promising a world of wonder where dreams come alive and imagination knows no bounds, but they bring only new questions and a sinister mystery for Spring to unravel.
Born from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century, this taut and breathtaking original limited series launches with a double-sized, 48-page debut from Eisner Award-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell (Plastic Man No More, Briar) and Eisner Award-nominated illustrator Tyler Crook (Harrow County, The Lonesome Hunters)!

I might be giving it a little too much credit. The series was a lot of fun. It was one of my favorite books in the last few months. The ending didn't feel like it totally matched the series. It tied everything together, but it was a standard trope that didn't do anything super unique. Still a very solid read.
It's all been leading to this! Justin has a plan... and he's ready to put everything on the line for a shot at his ultimate goal.
With his masterstroke just steps away, though, what will he be willing to sacrifice, and what lines will he cross to finally have it all?
The art is great. The story doesn't give much, but for some reason I'm invested in this story.
If Mayor Hillard is covering up the grisly fate of a local farm family discovered by Sheriff Meadows and Sarah, there's no time to find out, as the town of New Hope explodes when an odd stranger blows into town.
The art looked really cool in some parts, and really cartoonish in others. I did like this issue overall, even if it was a little cliche.
A WRATHFUL GOD!
Marc Spector, A.K.A. MOON KNIGHT, has failed! With blood on his hands and a fractured team, Marc faces a sort of confessional with his god KHONSHU - who's known less for his forgiveness and more for his fists!

Pretty solid issue. I liked the idea, the view of the Torch and the ending was pretty surprising.

This series has been pretty good. I really liked the first two stories. The last one didn't do much for me.

I liked the art and style of the book, but the story really wasn't anything special. This series started off ok, and then just felt pretty bland.
From creator Marco Finnegan (Morning Star, Night People), the final hour of Dia de los Muertos approaches, and LA's undead private eye is being called back to the underworld. But his deadly case still needs to be cracked.
After tracking down La Fantasma, her co-conspirator, and Maria's missing son, Calavera is wounded in a gunfight. Weakened b...
Besides a good fleeting moment or two, this book was not for me. Just not something we really needed. It's extra money to read a juggernaut story.
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES!
With Spider-Man now DEAD, it's up to the X-Men to win the day and save the universe. But why are they fighting EACH OTHER?!?!
Rated T
It's a slightly above ok book. The arts always been my main grip with this series. It's just not my style. The story has been ok to good, it just didn't progress much in this issue until the end.
The rebels reveal their plan-but what is important enough to risk a heist on the lockbox moon of the Vault? And, with the Mediators on their tail, will they even be able to make it there in one piece?
This has been one of the better issues of nice house by the sea/ lake in a while. Felt good to get more of a focused issue.
The residents of the House by the Sea have figured out how to take full control over the form of their own bodies--but that's not all they've learned how to do with the power placed in their hands...
I had fun. It's been a fun series overall. It does focus on a lot of side characters, but it's enjoyable

I'm not fully invested in what this series offers, but it does provide a few wild visual moments. I like it , it just feels like it's missing something.
