I keep on reading because of the Catalyst Prime Universe. I want to like this series as much as I did Noble, but it’s become a painful experience...
What’s to like here? Daniel is definitely unappealing. Monica, his controlling and annoying girlfriend is just not interesting at all. Monica’s dad, who decided to become a crime lord because he doesn’t like his daughter’s boyfriend is so annoying.

'Accell, Vol. 2: Pop Quiz' by Joe Casey with art by Damion Scott and Robert Campanella is a graphic novel about a speedster superhero.
Daniel Dos Santos is new to his superpower of being able to move fast. When a date with his girlfriend is interrupted by a woman with strange dark powers, Daniel takes on the fight. He is then approached by a group of scientists who want to try to measure his abilities.
It's hard not to make comparisons with another famous speedster. It is even more difficult when this new hero can seemingly enter another dimension. The art is quirky and angular, and I really like how unique it is. I did like this volume better than the first one.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Feels a lot like bottom of the barrel Flash in terms of tropes and characters - very flat female characters, the self-centered Daniel/Accell ... Then again, it feels reliant on the first volume, which I didn't read. (e-galley from NetGalley)
Again not original enough, too much club chilling then action. The illustrations were good, but that wasn't enough to make me like this comic.
I seem to have enjoyed this one more than most. It's a fun read, with a new superhero world that's still in its infancy, so all the rogue's galleries and whatnot are still being developed and the world is still being fleshed out. It's not reinventing the wheel, but it's not trying to either.
This comic book was alright. It had an interesting enough plot line, but left me mildly confused at the end of the volume. Maybe it was because I did'nt read Volume 1, but I didn't really connect with the main character at all. I will say that the artwork was beautiful, and I loved the vibrant and deep color choice. I will probably give this series another go, but at this moment I'm certainly not raving about it.
I have received a much appreciated digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
