A-Force discovers part of the reason monsters are appearing in Arcadia.

Someone new arrives.

Not much actually happens in this issue. Someone new arrives in Arcadia and they are forced to fight a sentinel. It wasn't very interesting.

2.5 out of 5 stars

IS SHE NOT THE CUTEST PERSONIFICATION OF A GALAXY YOU HAVE EVER SEEN?

Where's America? Why doesn't constellation girl talk?? Many questions, no answers, I think I'll have to hold off until the next issue. (But seriously, where can I read more with America??)

Whoever this starry newcomer is, she's adorable. She has this sweet innocence, with a big, open smile, and a mysterious power. The way she looks (a flowing-haired starscape in the form of a girl) contrasts beautifully with the background and other characters in daylight. The new girl and Dazzler added a lot of life in this issue. I'm pretty happy with it.

This issue has a hell of a lot of action which I loved, but story-wise it didn't progress as much. I do love how complex it is, though. Medusa could very well be another favorite and I need more Loki!

The art is amazing and the vibrant use of colors in the panels is beautiful af.

I didn't like this as much as the first one. It kind of felt like filler. That being said, it was still good.

Vast improvement from the first issue (which I loved btw). There were several things I really really loved about this issue but the main one is this precious starry little newcomer. IS SHE NOT THE CUTEST THING YOUVE EVER SEEN? Since I've been kind of been keeping an eye on this series since they made the announcement about it, I know what this cutie patooties name is. This precious little spot of sunshines name "I believe" is Singularity! Anyway, she may not have said a word during the entire issue but just watching the rest of the team react to her was good enough action for me.

First, my complaint on covers, most common that happens in comics: it has nothing to do with anything. Doom doesn't make an appearance, or is even really mentioned in this one, and half of the girls aren't in the chapter either. That's typical, but it annoys me.

This was a good second part to the story. It puts woman against woman, which likely would happen in a situation like this, especially considering what happened the last time.

Continues to be fun: I forgot that Singularity didn't talk, at least not at first, though, so figuring out who she is will be interesting for A-Force, and it's clever how emotive she is in a comic book without talking while everyone else around her does.

Really enjoying this - the art is so rad. This issue didn't really give us much but it was still enjoyable.

Issue two got better...but still something is a little off kilter. Freakin' Battleworld plot line.

[Tomb · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very cute issue!

[Chris Conley · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's good with surprisingly strong (and believable) tension between the characters.

[Anie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ladies being amazing wonderful ladies with each other. So excellent. The mystery of the galaxy girl deepens further, and it's up to She-Hulk to go forth and find answers.

[Tar Buendía · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sigo en las mismas que con la primera, aunque ahora Nico me cae aún peor y no tiene ningún sentido como personaje.

[Zoey · Rating 3 out of 5]

The art was pretty good, and Singularity is cute. There was a fight scene that included some neat moves from Medusa. Like another reviewer mentioned though, the story in this one felt like filler. I guess I should've expected that, considering how short comic books are, but it's still disappointing considering that the individual books are $4 each. I'm new to comic books - A-force is the first series I'm following - but if there are too many duds, I'll have to stick to my $8 paperback novels.

G. Willow Wilson and Marguerite Bennett continue to impress me with their writing skills. This issue deals with the aftermath of the last issue, shows a potential power struggle between Medusa and She-Hulk, and deepens the mystery surrounding the character introduced at the end of the last issue.
