    Behold Behemoth #2 Review

    Jonathan CadotteBy Jonathan CadotteDecember 10, 20223 Mins Read

    The Fall has come and now Wren and Grey must navigate the new world.  Your Major Spoilers review of Behold, Behemoth #2 from BOOM! Studios, awaits!

    Behold Behemoth #2 Review
    You can read this issue via our Amazon affiliate link

    BEHOLD, BEHEMOTH #2

    Writer: Tate Brombal
    Artist: Nick Robles
    Letterer: Andworld Designs
    Editor: Ramiro Portnoy
    Publisher: BOOM! Studios
    Cover Price: $3.99
    Release Date: December 7th, 2022

    Previously in Behold, Behemoth: Some great cataclysm has hit the world in the time since Grey and Wren met each other while Grey was doing a welfare check.

    SOMETHING’S COMING

    Behold, Behemoth #1 opens up with Grey and Wren strolling through a meadow observing a small rodent.  Danger then comes for the animal which in turn distresses Wren who reveals that she can transform into a monstrous creature.  Later on the duo approach a settlement that is heavily guarded, which prompts Grey to hide Wren underneath his cloak.  Grey seeks out someone who can hook him up with his prescription.  Outside, a religious group has gathered praising something called behemoths.  Suddenly Grey starts to suffer from pains that increase in severity until they reach a breaking point.  Outside a massive beast emerges from the ground, devouring the religious sect.  Things then move back in time to one of the first interactions Grey and Wren had.

    PUSHING THE LIMITS OF SECRETIVE

    Behold, Behemoth #2 manages to handle a shift in time pretty well.  It doesn’t linger too long on the ins and outs of the new society or anything like that, but it does introduce a few interesting elements.  In particular, the religious sect that they introduce is intriguing.  Also, the interactions between Grey and Wren are nice.  They don’t have quite a daughter/father relationship, but more of an older brother/younger sister sort of interaction.  The pharmacist that Grey meets is also well-realized.  They aren’t so foreign sounding to be annoying, but has a unique way of talking that drives home that time and society has changed. After that though,  there just isn’t much going on here.  The plot doesn’t move ahead, it just sort of lingers around on a single event and stretches that out quite a bit.  On top of that, it doesn’t reveal anything about the lore or events that happened between the first issue and this one.  On top of that, no answers are given here, instead they deepen the mystery in a very inelegant way, by use of a cryptic message combined with a cliffhanger.

    BOTTOM LINE: THE DEFINITION OF MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

    Behold, Behemoth #2 does a few things well.  It establishes the new time era well and has some pretty good character interactions.  But, nothing else really happens this issue, and doesn’t bother to answer any of the questions brought up in the first issue, only adding to them.  2.5 out of 5 stars.

    Can Skip It

    There’s nothing extremely bad about Behold, Behemoth #2, but unless the first issue really grabbed you, there isn’t much reason to drop the cash on this one and even so, this is a bit unsatisfying.

    Jonathan Cadotte

    At a young age, Jonathan was dragged to a small town in Wisconsin. A small town in Wisconsin that just so happened to have a comic book shop. Faced with a decision to either spend the humid summers and bitter winters traipsing through the pine trees or in climate controlled comfort with tales of adventure, horror, and romance, he chose the latter. Jonathan can often be found playing video games, board games, reading comics and wincing as his “to watch” list grows wildly out of control.
