Rated T+
Black Bolt and Blinky are denied a happy ending, but it wouldn't seem right to get one here anyway. Instead we are given a cliffhanger worthy of another tremendous issue of this series that has quietly (no pun intended) risen to the top of my Marvel must-read list. The writing has been top-notch since the first issue, intriguing and imaginative, Saladin Ahmed has crafted the definitive Black Bolt saga. He has an understanding of the character that has eluded many of the previous scribes and through his unique approach to telling this story, he has given us a front row seat to the mind of the main character. 5/5 Read Full Review
Led by some robust characterization and incredible artwork, BLACK BOLT #7 is another impeccable entry in Saladin Ahmed's series. Read Full Review
Black Bolt is never going to be my favorite character, but Ahmed has done an admirable job of turning him into someone who is worth reading about even when the Inhuman royal family isn't around. Read Full Review
Jackpot!!! Once again
Another great issue!
For any Inhuman nerds out there: If this particular take on black bolt looks familiar, it's because Irving did the amazing artwork for Silent War waaaay back in 2007.
Ahmed really writes the hell out of Black Bolt. This series has been my favorite Inhuman book of all time and this is easily one of the best monthly books being written right now. Issue 7 is a strong book and finally closes the door on what has been an amazing Story arc. The trippy art style of this book continues and it is jarring. The art and book can even border on confusing but it is a worth it read and something worth spending time looking at the page and soaking in the details.
Absorbing Man was a break out star of this arc and Ahmed has shown a real ability at exploring the more cosmic level of Marvel. I feel like if we got Ewing, Jason Aaron, Gabby Rivera, and Ahmed together we could really give the cosmic side of Marvel more
Great story, as always. But the art! If there's anyone that can replace Christian Ward on this book, it's Frazer Irving. Without any doubt, this book continues the best book Marvel is currently publishing.
Blackagar and Blinky's cruise to Earth is interrupted by a few little challenges. While the overall pace of the series makes this the perfect time for a "breather" episode, both writer Saladin Ahmed and guest artist Frazier Irving take things a little too easy. The result is an issue that isn't quite a disappointment in itself, but it's this title's first skippable issue - and that is just a little disappointing.
This was so bad. Weak story and art.
