Astonishing X-Men #3 Review: Solid Read, Disappointing Art
Charles Soule has proven himself an adept X-Men writer But the comic is not in a vacuum; it's continuing the story of the Astonishing X-Men Consequently, it feels weaker because it's not supporting the tone of the comic thus far. Beyond this, the comic does work fine It's cool seeing Logan do his thing and lone[...]
Darth Vader #5 Review: What Could Have Been
Much kudos to writer Charles Soule for putting all of this together. Artist Giuseppe Camuncoli still feels like an odd choice for the title His art style is a bit too light-hearted and cartoonish for this kind of comic title That is not to say his art is bad, quite the opposite However, it is ill-fitted[...]
Blindspot
That is a bit of a shame, but I do understand the sentiment on Charles Soule's part. Ron Garney's return is one of the most exciting parts of the comic The plot is enthralling, but Garney's gorgeous artwork and stunning depictions of the Chinese landscape steal the show Garney captures the world of Daredevil perfectly, and his[...]
Daredevil #25 Review- Matt Murdock Before The Supreme Court
That's not Charles Soule's fault, and Secret Empire has, mercifully, left the Daredevil comic untouched However, it's hard not to see the irony and touch of hypocrisy. The art of Alec Morgan has started to grow a little cold for me There is a weird ugliness to the characters, and the teeth look especially off[...]
Darth Vader
The first issue was incredible; I read an issue here or there after it started, and I am now collecting the trades, which have brought great enjoyment to me in the reading. I intended to try the comic once again when Charles Soule took over, a writer who I've greatly enjoyed in comics like Daredevil and[...]
Daredevil #24 Review: Foggy Nelson Is Back!
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] I've praised Charles Soule's Daredevil already for its ability to genuinely keep me guessing as to where its story is going I'd like to happily report that this trend is continuing with this new issue. Legal beat out Matt Murdock in Slug's case at the Court of Appeals Even with the testimony of Daredevil, Legal[...]
Astonishing X-Men #1 Review: The X-Men Comic I've Been Waiting For
Fantomex, Gambit, Bishop, Psylocke, Mystique: these aren't exactly the "let's play some softball" X-Men. That does make me curious how writer Charles Soule intends to keep this team together He may not intend that, and this will just be the group for the first phase of the comic That would be interesting. Astonishing X-Men was most certainly an[...]

Daredevil #23 Review: Matt Murdock Takes The Stand
To allow them to testify in court to make sure the criminals they capture get locked away would answer a lot of criticisms about the genre while adding new angles for the storytelling methods. I genuinely have no idea where writer Charles Soule is going with this The only two outs seem to be Matt actually[...]
Daredevil #21 Review: Mr. Daredevil, Please Take The Stand
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Charles Soule's tenure on Daredevil has certainly been a darker turn for the Man Without Fear than the one Eisner Award-winning Mark Waid wrote This book has played a lot with the noir-cum-mystical martial arts flick influences that have come to define the Daredevil mythos over the years It has done this pretty well, especially[...]
Darth Vader #1 Review – Do You Like Stories About Lightsabers?
Seeing Vader do his thing is always a welcome sight, and his utter destruction of these hapless thieves is a joy. Charles Soule has written pretty extensively in the Marvel Star Wars universe at this point, and he has a great handle on what it takes to get these characters off the page and into your[...]
Mindless Speculation – Readjusting The Astonishing X-Men Villain Theory
A while back, when news broke about the new Astonishing X-Men series from Charles Soule and a rotating cavalcade of various artists, I posited a theory as to just who the big bad of the series would be. I had assumed Cassandra Nova, a character whose first major action against mutant-kind involved genocide of the species[...]
