review:
'Astonisher Vol. 2: All The Nightmares' by Alex De Campi with art by Pop Mhan and Al Barrionuevo is a graphic novel in the Catalyst Prime universe about a hero with a rather weird power.

Magnus Attarian is a wealthy heir who went in to space and came back with a decidedly weird superpower: he can traverse the minds of others. He did this in the first volume and discovered a threat coming to Earth and ended up with PTSD. This volume picks up from there as Magnus finds himself surrounded by a team that want to help him as he gears up to fight his own brother.

Like most stuff I've read in the Catalyst Prime universe, I found this alternately boring and confusing. There needed to be more action earlier on and Magnus really comes across as a terrible person. Perhaps that is what is meant, but it was hard to feel for him or his weird powers. The art is decent enough.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Oni Press, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
