I'm (very) happy with the balance so far. Hopefully, this will translate into higher sales which will keep the comic around for a longer period of time. If anyone finds anymore, I would love to see them.

Positive:
Pop Culture Shock
Jet Walker?
Paperback reader
"Sucked into this world through his father"?
CHUD
"the latest iteration of the Master Control Program, Ma3a, has deceived him"?
Comixtreme
"The big problem with the comic, from a storytelling standpoint, is that the writers aren’t good enough at establishing a timeline. It’s hard to tell if some segments are in flashback or not, and in fact, I’m not 100 percent certain that the ending of the issue didn’t happen before the 'beginning,' so to speak."
Huh? I don't know where he gets that from. I had no trouble following the story flow.
BTW, I'm really glad you wrote that "Previously" page. Very good idea. Hard to believe it was a last minute thing!
Nowplayingmag
And I thought I gave away too many spoilers! Avoid this one like the plague, if you don't want to know the whole story of the comic!
Negative:
IGN
One word: moron.  (He can't even spell "you're" properly.)
Some of these guys really need to do their homework first, before writing a review.

I certainly hope so, too.

Actually, I'm amazed at how many reviews you've found already! But I'll keep my eyes open.

I think the IGN null unit was not aware of Tron 2.0. He thought the comic was meant as a direct sequal as opposed to a sequal to the sequal. Still a null unit though.

Hey, what do you know . . . I found a couple more.
Positive:
ComicBloc
REALLY Negative:
ComicBookGalaxy
This guy already hated the film, so it's no surprise he hates the comic. Totally biased review.

By the looks of things, there are more positive reviews than negative ones even if some of the reviewers that are reviewing them are sorta air heads (Some of which we can argue their heads are filled with "happy air.") But to IGN (Who's site design looked like it came from a cerial box... a really cheap cerial box) and ComicBook Galaxy: Have you ever heard of maintaining proper header code when reviewing something? I guess not.

Thanks for those links, Redrain! I've added them to the header post, along with another positive review by Johnny Bacardi .
I noticed the "Jet Walker" thing as well. Makes it sound like booze. I think the comixtreme review had a point, we opted not to use standard caption transitions in most of the comic, and the very beginning is certainly vague.
I did not notice the quote from paperback reader though. What an odd one!
@FreedomForever
Yeah, I picked up on that too. I thought it was strange, as IGN reviewed the Tron 2.0 for about 5 pages.

A couple more observations . . .
Nowplayingmag
"Jet Bradley, the son of Alan and Lora Bradley, is having trouble adjusting to the real world after being digitized and sent into a computer to destroy the TRON legacy code."
Sent in to destroy TRON? Don't think so . . .
Johnny Bacardi
"the son of Jeff Bridges' character is dealing with his old man's legacy"
Jet Bradley is Flynn's son, hmm . . .
Like I said, homework!

Found another review.
Negative: (that's what I would call it, YMMV)
Dave's Comicbook Rants
I also found this, which doesn't qualify as a review. (Read the bottom.)

I just updated the list. Including one more positive. Thanks for finding all these different reviews, Redrain.
I normally don't comment on the state of a review. It's not my place to question a reviewers interpretation. A negative review can be quite well executed, and subsequently beneficial for the creator in question. Due to this, I believe firmly in the need to substantiate one's opinion. Peter Whitney (Comic Corner) failed to provide any reasoning, and I find that unfortunate. He obviously has a strong opinion on the content of this book. Strong enough to urge potential readers away. But why? Sadly, he has chosen to horde his critical perspective and instead merely dismiss. Hopefully, he will either think better of future issues, or will at least take the time to express his rationale in a constructive and responsible manner.
