“Judging from the second season’s carefully paced opening, with unresolved family tensions quivering in all directions, it seems this show won’t be making the same mistake twice.” –Daily Telegraph (UK)
“As it is, though, season two is an improvement on the first, delivering enough powerful set pieces and rich character development to satisfy the fans across its 13 episodes.” –Digital Spy
“It’s a step up from other recent Marvel/Netflix shows when it comes to a memorable villain with season-long objectives.” –Hollywood Reporter
“The visual style and kinetic, music-driven fight scenes from season one return, and while there may be a few more scraps than the show necessarily needs, the writers make sure to bring some creativity to Luke’s predicaments.” –Consequence of Sound
“While season 2 is far from perfect, it not only avoids the sophomore slump, it surpasses season 1 through a relentless focus on how both its heroes and villains are defined by their families.” –The Verge

Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
