BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
I pretty much hated the first issue of Axis. It was terrible, so that was a fair assessment. Issue 2 was better, but better than terrible isn't a ringing endorsement. I just wanted to set up my qualifications as unbiased before I say that this issue was AWESOME, which it was, so I am. First and best, we get an art change with Lenil Francis Yu replacing the Kubert we had. Its a big step up. Next, we get villains, and villains love to talk, writers love them to talk, and they get all the best dialogue. Lastly, The Monkees and Deadpool (you'll know it when you see it). All this, plus an ending that's pure superhero politics finally made this a title worth reading. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
