Notable Stuff:
-
Despite the big #2 on the cover and spine, this is actually issue #5.
-
There were two covers for this issue. The Hellboy/Ash cover was available through local comic shops. Newsstand buyers got Doom cover art.
-
Lots of hate towards GamePro and EGM from the letter column in these issues.
-
Deicide: Once Upon The Cross is given a rating, but no review. Strange...
-
Flux has an awful lot going for it, covering a huge swath of pop culture between two covers and focusing on things the big boys (Wizard, Hero, EGM, Rolling Stone, etc...) aren't really looking at in-depth. It's a pity they last only two more issues.
