The reviews are in and they are SPECTACULAR! Here is a collection of just a few I found online that speak glowingly of Marvel's Assistant Sized Spectacular #2.

"Probably my favorite out of the bunch, which is strange, because I usually gravitate towards anything with a lot of humor in it over anything else. This story is what Marvel (and a fair number of other comic companies) need right now. A well written, wonderfully drawn monster-fantasy comic. It’s still based with continuity and the 616 but it’s a take on things that aren’t construed by outside influences (i.e. Dark Reign) and allows Marvel to flex some talent that isn’t just a tie-in. Great bullet-flying mystic-mashing action. Elsa Bloodstone is a supremely underappreciated character and it’s nice to see her getting some panel time."

"My second favourite story sees writer Chris Yost and artist Joh James do their best nextwave impression in an Elsa Bloodstone story called "Daddy's Little Girl." It's a straightforward monster-hunter vs. monsters story that (as the title suggests) also allows Elsa to explore her daddy issues. Yost's script is heavy on internal narration and light on dialogue, which helps to give the action a sense of speed and urgency. James's artwork is a little reminiscent of Stuart Immonen (with perhaps a touch of Chris Bachalo thrown in), with angular character designs and funky layouts that give the story a distinctive visual identity."
