Battle Beast #2 is a brutal, hilarious, and visually stunning ride through one of the most satisfying fight arcs in the Invincible universe. It doubles down on what made the first issue great and throws in enough new material to keep things moving. If you like your space operas drenched in gore and carried by one of the most ferocious anti-heroes in comics, this one's a no-brainer. Read Full Review

Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #2 taps into the hype of a fighting tournament. The tournament setting was perfect to carry Battle Beast drive to find a worthy opponent forward. This setting also provided an opportunity to see a greater view of the Invincible Universe. That all comes together for an exciting follow-up to the debut of the series. Read Full Review

For this chapter, Beasts mission took a detour into Blood Games. Kirkmans writing sets up many moving parts. Ottley and the art team manifest some brutality in between the explosive personalities in play. The best parts of Invincible show no signs of slowing down in this series. Read Full Review

Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #2not only continues to fill its pages with enough gore to top aMortal Kombatgame, but it also adds a sardonic edge that's as sharp as its title character's blades. Read Full Review

It's not that Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #2 is a bad comic. It has really entertaining parts. Where the series suffers is that while the main characters wants to die, he can't, or the series would end. It doesn't feel like there's a real chance that will happen as there's a next issue. But also, here's a need to continually ramp up the competition. Escalation is the name of the game here and this issue, while setting up a conflict, doesn't really throw in anything that feels like Battle Beast might have a hard time. The thrill is in the battle and the chance the main character will die but at no times really delivers that or spectacle to distract. Read Full Review

When the second issue is better that the first, I'm very hopeful for the future. The art is so amazing, can't wait for more!!

Maybe I've judged this series too harshly. This second issue continues BB's existential crisis and makes me hope that there will be a clever twist to all the fun and gore at the end. In the meantime, I'm just enjoying the great art and the fact that this comic is taking me back to a feeling I haven't had since reading Heavy Metal and Epic back in the 80s.
