Black Bolt #4 is one of those comics you can say is an example of the power of the comic book medium. This series is brilliant, these creators are on fire and I cannot wait to see what is coming next for the Silent King and even Crusher Creel. Read Full Review

While the exposition-heavy nature of this issue seems to come at an odd time in the overall series' narrative, the exploration of street-level villain Creel in such a sympathetic yet fair light makes this one of the best issues of the series so far, even before it emotionally wrecks readers in its final panels.

A beautifully crafted issue soaked in questions, with no answers yet. At least, no easy ones. Read Full Review

A strong and self contained story all about Absorbing Man. Read Full Review

Definitely give this one a read. Its premise makes it an interesting addition to Marvel canon due to its relevance in one of its most oft-used villains. It gets a high recommendation from me. Read Full Review

This series is so great,the art,the story everything is great & issue make me cry

A bountiful joy!!!

Wow Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward almost had me in tears at the end there. I actually felt for Crusher Creel. Beautiful story telling and art.

Last issue's cliffhanger segues into Creel and Boltagon socked into a terminal-feeling deathtrap. The solid matrix of the story is Creel flashing back through his career in a lovely way, and it's enhanced by sparkly bits of Black Bolt's conversation sprinkled throughout. *Of course* BB is a great listener. While this issue is almost entirely about Creel, Saladin Ahmed's script is achingly sympathetic and the focus is not at all begrudged. Christian Ward's art proves particularly flexible with Creel's wide-ranging memories.

Classic 'Locked in a Closet' trope with an unlikely pairing. Unexpected and amazing.

Who would think that the team up of Absorbing Man and Black Bolt would end up tugging on my heart strings so? Absorbing Man recounting his backstory in theory is nothing new for a villain, but Wards art brings a surrealist aesthetic that just draws me in and makes me feel. The mysterious figure in the prison also provides a compelling threat that I hope we see again. And damn you BB how could you let Lockjaw leave him behind?

A really good issue which could even act as a standalone story. The artwork really works here and the story is great. Really excited about what's next after this cliffhanger.
