5 starsNot bad of a comic. Midnighter seems a little too violent to me though. Liked his relationship with Apollo. Nice to see Spyral and the Suicide Squad again. Also good to see more of his history. Can't wait to read more Midnighter comics!!!!

Well, it's better on the ultraviolent basics than the first volume, and it's lovely to see Apollo again because even when they've split up, those two are very much #relationshipgoals (of course they are, it's a non-shit Batman in love with an only slightly less perfect Superman). But too much of the story features the rubbish modern Suicide Squad (skinny Waller, fussy-outfit Deadshot, weirdly unfunny Harley), and Midnighter looks a bit hipster out of costume, and it remains Not Quite Right. Whic...

My review of the first volume lamented the my belief that Midnighter, Apollo and the rest of Stormwatch/The Authority work better in their own universe away from the rest of the DCU. So it's weird that the Stormwatch universe has effectively been rebooted into "The Wild Storm" by Warren Ellis and that this volume used elements of the DCU really well. I liked seeing Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad clashing with Midnighter, the more gritty bad-guys-being-controlled-by-good-guys shtick fits in

[Read as single issues]I think it's safe to say that DCYou wasn't exactly the success that DC wanted it to be. Aside from a few books, it was mostly an unremarkable mini-relaunch type thing. However, the one shining gem that came out of it was the amazing Midnighter series, whose second volume collects the remaining few issues of the series.It's easy to say that Midnighter sells out in the second half here, since the Suicide Squad show up for the last few issues, but Midnighter flattens them in

Everything that made the first volume memorable is jettisoned in this second volume, in favor of overwhelming action and crossovers. The action is over the top in its violence and its presentation, with pages featuring dozens of overlapping panels, making a visual that is hard to parse and does nothing for the clarity of the story. While Midnighter has a little bit of personality showing (mainly in terms of Apollo's reapparance), more time is spent on the villains. Suicide Squad is used as a pun...

One trick pony , thankfully cancelled.

rep: gay mcsMY GAY DADS !!!!!!!

I'm not usually into super violent graphic novels, but I just really enjoy Midnighter. His "I have a super computer in my brain, and I've already fought this fight a million times" monologue before every villain gets a little old as a reader, but mostly I really like him.I also liked the inclusion of the older Midnighter stories at the end of this volume. It was a nice way to wrap up.

A strong second arc that has fun playing with the idea that Midnighter is only technically unstoppable. He goes up against the Suicide Squad, and getting to see the team and Waller in action against Midnighter is a lot of fun. It wraps up nicely, with Apollo coming back into the picture, and I enjoy that Steve Orlando makes it clear that Midnighter has learned how to be himself in the short time Orlando was given to pull it off.

It confuses me a bit trying to resolve Midnighter being in the DC Universe, but this is our reality now. The first volume ended with him facing a DC villain who totally made sense as someone who could give him a run for his money. This next volume has him facing Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad, because of course things would go this way.But the real surprise was who Waller turned out to be working with - we're talking about someone all the way to the Stormwatch days! This mash-up of antagoni...

It seems that the fights are even more annoying this time around and they offer nothing new, so they don't improve my rating for this volume. The dialogue is as boring as ever, so no marks for that either. Some more characters are thrown in for good measure, but nothing to write home about. Ultimately this volume is completely forgettable.It might just be the horrid artwork with way too many small panels that ruined it for me. Every action scene has a large panel in the background and several ti...

This book tried my patience. It was more of Midnighter saying the same thing to everyone he beat up/killed ("I know how to fight and I'm going to win") with added convoluted plot and cameos from some well-known members of the Suicide Squad.The one redeeming thing was when (not a spoiler since this is in the blurb itself) Apollo returns. TL;DR: I'd say this is kind of skippable because the ONLY thing that happens is that Midnighter and Apollo begin to patch things up. The art was all over the pla...

bendix is an excellent villains name

Amazing run; sad to see this series end!

3.5This volume is a lot more straightforward than the first, for better or worse. That was my biggest issue with Vol. 1, and while this one is more clear and concise, it feels more “blockbuster-y”, trading in a little bit of nuance and cleverness for a bombastic WMD storyline. While I was engaged the whole time and ran through this fairly quick, there were a few too many instances of “but wait, why would they (insert plot hole/uncharacteristic behavior like (view spoiler)[ Waller is way too smar...

Much, much better than volume 1. The story is straight forward, the Suicide Squad has stolen something from volume 1 and the Midnighter goes to get it back. The book picks up nicely once Apollo reappears. Honestly, Midnighter is just not the same without Apollo. They work so well off one another and I like seeing 2 gay men have a stable, loving relationship just like any other couple.

This second Midnighter volume from the recent DCYou experiment is just as action-packed as the first. The set-up is not quite as ingenious as in the first volume, but I loved the interplay between Midnighter and his supporting cast. The Suicide Squad shows up, and Amanda Waller is her usual bad-ass self, plus there is a reckoning between Midnighter and his ex Apollo.This book also collects a couple stories from Midnighter's previous series. Although this series had terrible sales and was cancele...

This book is so good. I'm so glad DC's doing a miniseries in the fall and that Rebirth didn't cause just another random cancellation.

Yeah... no. This half of the series was utterly disappointing. Not even the return of Apollo could save it. It's a confused mess, with the subplots varied and unnecessary. Some guy is doing a documentary on Midnighter - freaking random choice as it is - but, he constantly uses a dictaphone and not a camera. So... not a documentary then, an article. The speech bubbles and panel placement were baffling; the first half of this series had a few gaffs that confused me, but this one's just crazy.Spyra...

Ultraviolent, ultra-funny, and unapologetically gay, Orlando's Midnighter has been nothing short of awesome. The dialogue is authentic, and the style established by Aco makes Midnighter feel unlike anything else on the shelves. I'm glad to have read the whole series, even if the second volume didn't knock my socks off as hard as the first. The B'wanna Beast story was awesome for what is was (including an excellent use of The Red) and the Suicide Squad crossover was fun! It wasn't forced, and Mid...
