    Where you feared that this would have actually gone the safe path of them doing those games, this shows so much more promise. Potential that should be unlocked in a lot of these young heroes with their backs against their walls. Not to mention coming to enjoy some new young heroes who have some interesting skills. Looks great, feels mature, Sanders makes this look like something you can take seriously because you should despite having the nonchalant nature of Quintin Quire. Next to Infinity Heist, this is another book worth picking up as a mini series. Read Full Review

    I liked this book at the start, and although Pan makes me nervous, I still want to like Infinity: The Hunt as a spiritual successor to Avengers Academy. Let's hope it earns it. Read Full Review

    Comicosity - Aaron Long Oct 2, 2013

    Infinity: The Hunt #2 is a middle of the pack book that is still lacking a spark to make it's mark on the Infinity event and the Marvel Universe in general. The artwork is solid, but the dialogue is flat considering the characters involved and the situation they are in. Read Full Review

    IGN - Jesse Schedeen Oct 2, 2013

    Steve Saunders has more chances to shine in this issue, which he does with about a 50% success rate. The quality of his work varies almost from panel to panel. At times he brings a laid back, elegant charm to the Marvel Universe in the heat of battle, and at others his pencils become muddled and stiff. A book like this should at least be able to bank on reliably bombastic visuals. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Resources - Doug Zawisza Oct 7, 2013

    The opening scene of "Infinity: The Hunt" #2 made me think about the Triwizard Tournament from "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," but the story in this issue falls well short of any expectations established in that comparison. Kindt and Sanders do add breadth to the Marvel Universe through the plethora of characters created in this series; they just don't add more depth. The focal character of this issue in terms of panel time is Quentin Quire. Honestly, I don't find the character all that compelling in Jason Aaron's work on "Wolverine and the X-Men" and find him less so for "Infinity: The Hunt." After two issues, this series has failed to deliver on the potential in the concept and settled in to being just another red skies comic with an unattractive price point. Although the main "Infinity" story in the series proper and the Avengers titles is enjoyable, the thin nature of "Infinity: The Hunt" fails to impress. Read Full Review
