I am amazed at this issue, as it has outdone a spectacular debut and left me wanting more and more. Doctor Star is the hero we all know: hes just a guy trying to atone for mistakes he cant live down. He just happens to be able to fly. A spectacular issue, go check out this series, you owe it to yourself. Read Full Review

An honest, beautiful story of choices and losses, using the incredible and otherwordly to make readers reflect on where life's focus should be. Combined with a brilliant team effort on the art department, from drawings, colors and letters, this is a must-read. Read Full Review

Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #2 is a solemn and heartbreaking tale of a father who left his son to be a superhero, and Jeff Lemires writing nails the right beats and emotional notes to make it all work like a charm. Fiamura and Stewart bring visual heft to the artistic side of things to boot. This one comes highly recommended. Check it out. Read Full Review

Dr. Star's past milestones and mistakes, his resultant modern malaise, have all been set down. What remains is seeing what lengths he's willing to go to redress his current situation. And maybe work in some homage to a certain corps of ring-slingers along the way. Read Full Review

Everything about this issue is sad, but that's not a theme or idea, just this series' state of being. Read Full Review

Issue two of this personal & dramatic story. I find it hard for the character. It's a very good story about relationship between a hero & his fox. Something comics didn't really scratch. After all not many hero have a child. Their is also question about the consequence of a power near a normal human. And It's interesting. But I will not lie. Issue 1 was fine but I didn't want to come back. But I already have solicited this one. But I will not go further. Cover - Nice & related to my reading 2/2 Story - Very dramatic the clash between Doctor Star and his son's wife was brutal but realistic. 3/3 Arts - The art is good for this kind of story. Not perfect, but he do a very pleasant job. 3/3 Feeling - The catch is that not the kind of stor y I want to read. It's too dramatic for me. I like more optimistic comics. 0/2 more

Issue #2 of "Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows" is a good read, though it is steeped in tragedy. Star is confronting the cost of his life of space adventuring, his loved ones left behind, thinking he had gone forever. Lemire lays the "Cats in the Cradle" stuff on a bit thick early, and the art seemed a bit...off, occasionally...but this is still plenty worth reading.
