Comic book wins and losses 3-28-18
Kingpin has a great action scene in this book to boot, and the finale was shocking if nothing else. Charles Soule and Ron Garney did some excellent work here. The Crow: Memento Mori #1 cover by Werther Dell'Edera and Giovanni Niro Loss: The Crow: Memento Mori #1 is One of the Worst Crow Stories As a fan of James O'Barr's The Crow, I can tell[...]
Daredevil #600 cover by Dan Mora and Romulo Fajardo Jr.
Milla's color work is a little brighter than usual in this one, but it's a nice change that accentuates the costumes. Daredevil #600 is another excellent issue in Charles Soule's run of the series The lack of a complete ending does detract from the book, but the overall story is often fun, at times intense, and[...]
Comics for Your Pull Box, Week of 03/28/18

Jessica Jones #18 cover by David Mack Jessica Jones[...]
Daredevil #599 cover by Dan Mora and Romulo Fajardo Jr.
Charles Soule, Ron Garney, and Matt Milla deserve high praise for constructing these moments It is uniquely compelling character work, and it just looks great. The issue sets up well for the anticipated #600 beyond just biding time Fisk's building aggression and frustration with both DD and Muse is shown Blindspot's animosity towards Matt as well[...]

Daredevil #598 cover by Dan Mora and Romulo Fajardo Jr.
This isn't new, of course, but writer Charles Soule clearly has a strong grasp on how to best make this work with his Daredevil. Daredevil #598 art by Ron Garney and Matt Milla Artist Ron Garney, and his ultra-gritty style fits the noir tone perfectly This world is misshapen, dark, and unnerving, and it's beautiful in its[...]

The Oracle Year
Charles Soule is a superstar comic book writer who, if only for a brief time (and even if he's playing a role in bringing the runt back), successfully killed Wolverine He's also a lawyer, so when people accuse him of not having a real job, he can say, "well actually…" without needing to convince them[...]

In Daredevil #597, Daredevil continues his digging into Mayor Fisk. Matt Murdock has been appointed as deputy mayor to the former Kingpin of Crime. Plus, the city is still on the hunt for Daredevil. Does this make for a good read?

We can't thank Newsarama enough for getting to the bottom of this mystery. Next up is Charles Soule, who, as it turns out, is also working on a "big Marvel thing freshening up a character" this year according to a separate Newsarama report This comes once again from a year-end blog post by Soule, in which Soule[...]

With Marvel's solicits now out for March 2018, we get a look at the Star Wars titles that will come out that month. March sees Star Wars: Poe Dameron reach its landmark 25th issue, and the solicit does present some interesting possibilities. STAR WARS: POE DAMERON #25 CHARLES SOULE (W) Angel Unzueta (A) Cover by PHIL NOTO It's the end of[...]
Daredevil #596 cover by Dan Mora and Juan Fernandez
The comparisons to Mark Millar's Civil War are still notable, but Charles Soule keeps the plot tight and focused enough that it doesn't get lost in trying to make the events overly dramatized. At one point, a police officer makes a comment about how he would never expect Daredevil to go bad That does leave me[...]
Daredevil #595 cover by Bill Sienkiewicz
Charles Soule continues to carve out his own legacy in the history of Daredevil The premise of Kingpin being elected as the mayor of New York seems so straightforward and genius that I can't believe it hasn't been done before Fisk prioritizing ousting the heroes makes a lot of sense, considering the years he spent[...]
Darth Vader #7 cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Francesco Mattina
Again, it's not perfect, but it looks good and is effective. Darth Vader remains a compelling read under Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli While the art isn't quite fitting, it's still solid work backing up great storytelling This one remains on my recommended list Give it a try. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Darth Vader has been put[...]
Daredevil #28 Review: The Fate Of Blindspot
Charles Soule has a great grasp on Daredevil by this point His depiction of the character is engaging and easy to root for His battle with the hand is pretty cool, even as he is constantly beat down and broken, he refuses to give in He's Daredevil, and he truly is the Man Without Fear. The[...]
Daredevil #27 cover by Ron Garney and Matt Milla
Matt Milla's color work is appropriately faded-looking, and the two together capture the noire vibe that has always run through the life and times of Matt Murdock. While I can't say this was the most exciting or interesting issue of Charles Soule's Daredevil, I can say that this comic never left me bored or dissatisfied[...]
Darth Vader #6 cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Francesco Mattina
The two have an intense duel. Charles Soule accomplishes some skillfully subtle characterization of Darth Vader in the beginning to this comic Emperor Palpatine offers to repair Vader's suit for him, but he senses Vader's frustration with that proposition Knowing that Vader was once a skilled engineer, he allows Vader to take care of it himself. It's[...]
Astonishing X-Men #4 cover by Carlos Pacheco, Rafael Fonteriz, and Nolan Woodard

Alonso, Soule, Brisson and Rosenberg Talk the X-Men's Legacy
He was joined by several X-creators such as Ed Brisson (Cable, Old Man Logan), Matthew Rosenberg (Secret Warriors), and Charles Soule (Astonishing X-Men). The head-scratcher from the panel may be the "will they" or "won't they" of a potential Storm solo series. In response to an audience member asking about the possibility of a new Storm book,[...]
Lucasfilm Brings The Thunder With Their Publishing Panel At NYCC
Seems like a weird way to promote, but Lucasfilm has always seemed to do pretty well in that area. As far as the rest of the panel, there were 12 authors there, although Charles Soule, writer of the Darth Vader and Poe Dameron comics, had to leave only a few minutes in to go meet Mark[...]

Charles Soule, writer on the Astonishing X-Men maxi-series, has just told a room of retailers at New York Comic Con that the whole point of the book is to bring Charles Xavier back as a living character in the Marvel universe So that's what's happening. So don't expect him to just stay as an astral figure as[...]
