Marvel Divas #2 Review

MARVEL DIVAS #2
Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Art by Tonci Zonjic

+ Cancer subplot isn't just a joke. Handled fairly seriously, too.
+ Still managed to have some comedy and solid dialogue mixed in.
+ Excellent use of continuity. Addressed past Avengers affiliation and 'cancer suit' that Firestar wore during her time there. Nice use of Dr Strange and Night Nurse, plus addressing current status quo of Strange and Brother Voodoo.
+ Zonjic's art is the major draw of the book for me right now. He's very expressive and has unique style, not completely unlike David Aja's.
- Cancer subplot kills the fun tone of the book and pulls me out of it. Cancer seems too serious a topic for a light hearted book like this. It's definitley no Death of Captain Marvel in that regard.

Verdict - Check It. I'm not hating this book, but I'm not completely enthralled by it either. Will stick with it for the duration, as it hasn't gone off the rails and is treating the cancer subplot with some respect.
