Another solid trade. This one is a bit more fun and games than plot progression. There is a short arc featuring some British heroes ( it’s a Spurrier book, so of course there is) with more great art from Rock-he Kim. The last two issues featuring Forgetmenot are amusing.

Too many guns & white cishet folks, women aren't written well and there are almost no women's names among the writers or artists - aka it's a typical sausage fest comic: the main plot points all be revolve around cishet men and women are minor plot points

Interesting story with forget me not

Books like this make we wonder if I should just give up reading general Marvel books. Pointless with not especially good art. The guy who everyone immediately forgets is kind of interesting. But that story went on too long and ended up being meaningless as well. No focus on the characters, just on the plot. And the plot is too uninteresting and too slow.

Very cyberpunk-y but such interesting concepts!

A bit hard to follow but overall very enjoyable.

I thought I would give vol. 2 a shot after my disappointment in vol. 1, but it was almost exactly the same. Convoluted stories, confusing artwork, endless monologues and characters that have been altered so much to fit the writer's needs that they are totally unrecognizable. The only plus was a new character introduced toward the end, only to be killed right at the end. Boo.
