    VOID RIVALS #2 continues the authentic human story about two survivors from separate races coming together to survive. The plot progression is light, but Kirkman more than makes up for it with amazing character development, an interesting backstory, and an intriguing cliffhanger. Read Full Review

    The Comic Book Spot - Theodis Wright Jul 27, 2023

    Void Rivals #2 provides a decent back story while the main story continues to move forward as well. It will be interesting to see if Kirkman provides more back stories of the characters. While some might consider this slow, this is great universe building. Read Full Review

    Whether you are a fan of the source material, or just looking for a quality comic with the above referenced themes, Void Rivals #2 scratched that itch nicely. There's action, adventure, humor, disillusionment, self doubt, compassion, and danger. My only real critique is that my impatience is flexing, and I am eagerly awaiting to see how the grander universe will unfold, how our protagonists will fit into it, and which of our other favorite characters they'll meet along the way.

    ‘Void Rivals's #2 offers up a potted backstory for the two alien races at war with one another, but its nothing new with the rest of the issue plodding along at a slow pace. An issue whose function it seems to be to get the series up and running and heading towards more satisfying and exciting adventures, I hope. Read Full Review
