Crave Online: "The interactions between heroes are so much more interesting than the big events these days, and important little character pieces like this are what carry us through when we get bogged down by hazy plotting. Guys like Gillen can help us make sense of it all." 85 -- Click here for full review!
A Comic Book Blog: "Art is better in this issue compared to last. Good introspective looks from Cyclops and Wolverine. Interesting new direction for Cyclops. A little disappointment that we weren't able to see more from around the Marvel U as issue 1 showed." 85 -- Click here for full review!
Unleash the Fanboy: "AVX: Consequences #2 is a superb and emotionally charged issue that any X-Men fan should buy. Recommend." 80 -- Click here for full review!
Avengers Disassembled: "But regarding Cyclops’ fate, I’m assuming he’ll live past the altercation and either escape or be released (I highly doubt it’s the latter) after the panel at the end of Uncanny X-Men this week." 80 -- Click here for full review!
IGN: "Hopefully this second issue is a sign of how Gillen will approach the remainder of Consequences, with each chapter narrowing its focus to one group of characters glimpsed in issue #1." 78 -- Click here for full review!
Weekly Comic Book Review: "Though Gillen may be the only writer giving Cyclops any benefit of the doubt, we’re being so bombarded with Cyclops in jail and that he went evil, it’s hard to see the merit of an issue like this.But Gillen handles the tension between Wolverine and Cyclops so that it becomes about more complicated than other writers are attempting. Someone needs to be in Scott’s corner–I’m glad that Gillen is." 70 -- Click here for full review!
What Culture!: "Less action, less explosions and more focus on character is the way forward and Consequences seems to be getting that right so far." 70 -- Click here for full review!
Comic Vine: "AVENGERS VS X-MEN may be over but there are still consequences to look at and deal with. Some may question whether or not this is necessary but with the number of civilians that died, it's important that this isn't just ignored. We have to hope that there won't be a neat and tidy ending for Cyclops at the end of this series. You have to wonder if there'll ever be an answer as to whether or not 'Cyclops was right.'" 60 -- Click here for full review!
CBR: "With the right hand (and I think Gillen can be that hand), "AvX: Consequences" has the potential to be more interesting than the crossover that birthed it. Time will tell if it can go deep enough and ask enough tough questions to make this book more than merely additional "AvX" padding." 60 -- Click here for full review!
