In our review of Arcana second seasonWe at ComicBook.com were more than happy with what we saw in the first six episodes of the animated series, “Whether you’re a newcomer to Esoteric or you’re like me and have been waiting for season 2 for three years, it’s hard to be anything other than impressed by what we see in these first six episodes.

Although I’m a little worried about how Esoteric might end, I’m more excited than ever about what Riot will continue to do in this media space in the years to come.
