Look back and you'll see that I reviewed New-Gen Issue #1 not too long ago. Thanks to the awesome folks at A.P.N.G. interprises and Marvel, I've got the rest of the issues and I won't let you down, dear readers! Especially when it's a comic so intriguing! If you look back on the last issue, you'll see a battle of one brother versus another, a battle of "good" versus "evil", and one motivation against another. At the end of the issue, Deadalus and his army were clawing their way out of the earth and rocks to begin a world domination. I thought that Issue #1 was good, but Issue #2 totally blew me away! My only complaints with Issue #1 were 1. The plot seemed a little done and 2. there wasn't enough action. Both of those concerns were laid to rest with Issue #2!

In Issue #2, you see Deadalus' army come to the surface of Crete (to the misfortune of those living above!). Much to my viewing pleasure (not prevertedly, you weirdo!), Mini is sent to deal with the chaos and distruction that Deadalus' army leaves. Soon, it's obvious to Gabriel that Mini can't handle the battle alone. He sends a bot to help with the mess and the battle is moved to a cave. Just when he's got Deadalus in his beast-grip, Gabriel interferes with his plans to wipe the man off the face of the Earth. Instead, he choses to, yet again, trap Deadalus underground (REALLY?? Didn't you learn your lesson before??).

Throughout the entire comic, Perseus and his father are determined to make Perseus legendary. They find themselves in a nasty situation simply for the love of the story. In the end, Perseus is telling a "true account" of what has happened.

Enough on plot! You get to be in my head now! :)

Creativity of Writing: 5/5 Like I said before, this issue fixed all of my concerns with Issue #1. There's epic fighting that ties into the main plot and also there's the humorous sub-plot of Perseus and his father. Just when you think you've got it figured out, BAM! Gabriel doesn't let Mini kill Deadalus when he very easily has the chance. I guess if he were to kill him, Issues #3-#8 would be blank pages.... The only thing that really bothers me is the fact that he TRAPS HIM UNDERGROUND. Didn't he learn from his mistake before?? That's just asking for it again! 


Creativity of Art: 4.5/5 I was more impressed with this issue, I think! The art just seemed fitting of the story. It might be all of the action poses that I'm digging, but SOMETHING worked! It looks more detailed. I love the art for this issue! 

Overall Casual Read Rating: 4/5 More, more, more! This issue really sucked me in and satisfied the craving that I had for more action and more battle. Mini is just a BAMF and I LOVE watching him be a badass! There's never a boring moment! I'd love to take this series with me on the way to a convention. Let's face it. Airports just ain't cool. ;)

 Well...that's all for now! Until next time, my darlings!
