Infinity #2 by Barry Reese
THE GOOD: The tension between Carol and Gamora is very well played. It makes sense and I’m glad Barry took the time to delve a bit into that this issue. The conversations between these characters bounce back and forth pretty easily. You can tell Barry has some love for who he is using. Adam Warlock’s confrontation with Lilandra was pretty badass and the tension that existed in the room was properly played for the most part. I think the best part of this issue though was hearing Adam Warlock say “Boom boom”. Yea that was great.
THE BAD: I wish Lilandra had a bit more backbone. She seemed to give into Warlock a bit too easy. And though he was described as being charismatic he wasn’t really coming off that way. He seemed like an incredible jerk that deserved to get knocked into the next system by Gladiator. I don’t know. He just came off to me as having a lot of effin nerve.
OVERALL: A good issue with some nice twists. You can tell that Barry is definitely laying the seeds for something big and I’m all for layered, epic plots. So keep it going Barry. Just don’t let Warlock became the Mary Sue (or whatever the male version is) of this story.
