Volume 2 got a full 5 stars and I can tell you why in 3 words: Allen the Alien. That story was intelligent, it didn’t dumb down the villian monlogue and it flipped hero vs. hero battles on it’s ear.
The 2 story arc was very good. Though I am a bit confused as to who the murder of the Guardians really is. And what was his motivation.
I agree with Busiek (in the Vol. 1 forward)- Mark’s mom is one of the best characters in the series and more should be done about her being the wife and more of Superheroes.
Worth Consuming!
