In recent years, CMON has built a reputation for creating some of the most beloved board games in the industry. Titles like Zombicide , Dune , Cyberpunk 2077 , Cthulhu: Death May Die , Arcadia Quest and Marvel United have garnered a dedicated fanbase, many of whom have supported these games through Kickstarter campaigns and retail purchases. However, CMON's recent decision to make exclusive content for these games available only at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) has sparked significant outrage among its loyal supporters. The Exclusivity Issue At the heart of the controversy are the exclusive expansions and content for Zombicide: White Death, Cthulhu: Death May Die, and Marvel United.

Review: @ImageComics Planetoid #2

Planetoid #2 Cover

The Slab


After crash-landing in a vast heap of space junk, wayward space-pirate Silas now journeys on to an area of the planetoid, known as "The Slab". It's rumored that human tribes eke out a living on this endless surface of fabricated metal... BUT, so do gangs of sadistic robots! Silas will have to gather information and find allies in order to make a stand against the larger tyrannical forces that control the planetoid.

See the Review Rating Overview page for more information on how I rate each comic


Cover & Solicit 4/5


This issues cover depicts the two new characters to the issue. Oddly enough I like Ken Garing's art on the cover more than the actual issues. It probably has to do with the amount of time put into the covers vs. the interiors.

Art, Colors & Inking 3/5


Like Planetoid #1, the art isn't bad it just seems messy. The colors aren't really vibrant but that probably has to do with the look and feel Garing is going for because of the apocalyptic-mech planet.

Layout & Flow 4/5


This issue was pretty easy to follow and flowed well. The flashback worked well and didn't disturb the reading experience. This issue is still pretty good for new readers as not much happened from the first issue and they do a little recap when Silas is captured.

Story 4/5


The plot of this issue continues from the last with Silas trying to reach civilization and to find a way off the planetoid. When Silas goes to investigate a vessel brought down by the planetoid's gravity, he runs into trouble and is captured. We get to learn about the Ono Maul and why they are capturing and enslaving the people brought crashing down to the planet. At the end of the issue a tribe is being attacked by the cyborg Ono Maul and Silas is released from his captors so he can help. I like where this story is going, it's different and has a lot of possibility. Image has been producing some excellent creator driven books like Saga and The Walking Dead, this is another great book.

Verdict 3.7
