Rated T+
BLACK BOLT #10 showcases its titular hero in great fashion as the work puts its artistic and literary prowess on display. Read Full Review
This is more of what's made the book great in the past, but on a low simmer. Read Full Review
This series has done a lot for Black Bolt himself in the last few issues, but I just can't fully recommend it with this art. Read Full Review
This issue is a turning point. We can't help but feel the anguish our protagonist must feel as he's helpless before an enemy he should be able to quash so easily. As long as Lash has the child Blinky, our hero can not resist his antagonists will. But something is happening to Blinky…to be continued. *** (7.8 rating) Read Full Review
Lash makes his play against Black Bolt. He's trying so hard but he is SO NOT going to secure this title's nemesis position. Who is? Well howdy, gigantic surprise ending! The twist, the nice character work on Blackagar and Titania (and even Lash) and the excellent plot all suggest perfection. So too does Stephanie Hans's quietly awesome guest art that nails the midpoint between Christian Ward and Mike Del Mundo. Christian Ward's fight visuals and colors are just a bit rushed. I can see the balance of the book is color-muted to maximize the impact of Medusa in the middle, but what's the excuse for the sketchy stiffness of the fight scenes? Not that this art isn't delightful; it just feels like less than Mr. Ward's best.
Quality as usual story and art both top notch!
Great as always. I've said it countless times, but the art is just fantastic. And my god, what a cliffhanger. I'm really worrying that this will end with the 12th issue, but if so - it's definitely an amazing book.
