Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus rated it 6 years ago
Before Black Bolt, the author, worried by something political that got an artists fired, said his comics wouldn't be political. Sweet! Especially since Christians and Jews were targeted by an artist, particularly Jews. The author is also palestinian. Which makes me nervous because the stand...

Great color palette and good story. I only knew this character as one of the Marvel Puzzle Quest options. One of my favorite parts of the writing in this volume is just how many times Ahmed manages to mention Black Bolt's full name, Blackagar Boltagon. Reader, I laughed every time. The plot is a ...

It ends with a bang. And Black Bolt cooking eggs. Then again, me before this issue: Naw, thanks, I don't want to read about Black Bolt cooking eggs. Me after this issue: I will read a series about Black Bolt cooking eggs. And other things. And being a househusband. Or, failing to lear...

Gorgeously written, and lushly illustrated. Just love this whole run, and it doesn't let up or slow down, at least not in this issue. Love, love, love.

This was fucking brilliant. The storytelling, the art, just top notch. But it also had Captain America, and since Marvel hasn't apologized for gaslighting us about Hydra not being Nazi stand-ins, nor have the retconned the shitshow that was Secret Empire completely, I'm sticking by one-half star...

So glad Ward's on art duty again; I found last issue's guest artist to be not quite as good. I like Ward's sensibilities and art much better. Black Bolt returns to an Earth where his people think he's Maximus, still using his telepathic powers. And they've had enough: they're ready to take out...

After getting out of that terror where he was imprisoned, Black Bolt returns a child to his own and takes another one to his home as she has nowhere else to go. He deals with the horrors, although they still haunt him, and even more so Blinky, the child he's promised to protect. And he brings...

Somehow this perfect series gets better, more horrifying, and yet throughout that more heartwarming as well. Perfect ending!

Horrific storyline, with grotesque revelations, but this is hauntingly told, lushly illustrated, and just the perfect book, a book that Black Bolt deserves. Favorite character, author, illustrator, and book. Love, love, love. I love everything about this and wish I had time to write a longe...
