crookedtreehouse's review against another edition

The second entry in the Ivar Timewalker book is an improvement, as we get a better sense of this story's protagon...antagoni...lead character. Not Ivar, but his scientist protoge.
We also get to spend some time with Armstrong and The Eternal Warrior, whose combined presence definitely enhances the continuing time travel saga. You really don't have to have read any of the other Valiant books to follow this story, but it is a little more fun if you've read some of [b:Archer & Armstrong, Volume 1: The Michelangelo Code|17158627|Archer & Armstrong, Volume 1 The Michelangelo Code|Fred Van Lente|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1391572226l/17158627._SY75_.jpg|23582136] and [b:Eternal Warrior, Volume 1: Sword of the Wild|18782125|Eternal Warrior, Volume 1 Sword of the Wild|Greg Pak|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387438478l/18782125._SY75_.jpg|26695834].

Volume two didn't have quite the same impact as volume one, but it is still enjoyable. The first issue in this volume continues the time traveling shenanigans that I enjoyed from volume one and sets the scene for the rest of the issues. The Anni-Padda brothers are back together for this story. There is something about the sibling rivalry between them that is fun to read. Plus, Amelia Earhart makes an appearance.
The story didn't seem to flow quite as well as the previous volume. It seems to slow down a little to bring Ivar and Neela back together. The characters are fine on their own, but I feel like they work a lot better together. I didn't like Neela's story as much, but I think it is laying the groundwork for the third volume in the series.
I enjoyed the art. It's not anything super special, but it is solid work. Flipping through the book again I did notice a few things that I don't think I caught the first time through, so there are some nice details to find. I'll definitely pick up the third volume to see how this series wraps up.

Gave it a 3 at first, then came back and gave it a 4 after reading Vol 3. This one may seem lacking something at first read, but its relevance becomes clear after completing the whole series.
