i will literally fight marvel to the death for cancelling this

The best Marvel comic of the past two years. Has certainly elevated Black bolt into one of my favourite characters. I certainly felt for out hero. Titania nearly equaled Crusher Creel in this issue. Blinky is great.Christian Ward's artwork is terrific.A hair's width less than the previous installment.

When I initially witnessed the first issue's cover of this solo Black Bolt series, I did wonder how can one create a comic solely about a character who can destroy everything with the slightest whisper. However, writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Christian Ward found a way as the silent king of the Inhumans finds himself in a cosmic adventure where he was imprisoned whilst befriending some new companions such as the Absorbing Man and the telepathic alien child Blinky.Having escaped the clutches of

A HUGE improvement over the last volume. Even the art is starting grow on me. The funeral part was touching but lost a lot of its impact because you know nobody stays dead in comic book world for long, especially when "no body was recovered". But, hey, that's the nature of comic books.

The conclusion to Black Bolt: Hard Time is actually really good. And I'm saying this as someone who isn't at all a fan of the Inhumans or knows much about Black Bolt. But this gives you a nice recap of his backstory, so don't be afraid to jump in if you're completely ignorant, like I was.So, this picks up right after he's escaped from the prison planet with Lockjaw and the little telepath child, Blinky. He's decided to take her back to Earth with him and visit Crusher's wife, Titania.But has som...

Black Bolt travels back to Earth.He seeks to set things right as much as he can.Home Free and the entire Black Bolt series was pretty forgettable. Nothing of any real importance happens and it's all one big set up for Black Bolt to take a hard look at himself and to try to make things better. It just seemed unnecessary and only moderately entertaining.2.5 out of 5 stars

Truly excellent, with some wonderful character moments. Fantastic artwork, too, even from the fill-in artists.Interestingly, it was the moments where Black Bolt interacted with Medusa that were the story's weak spots. They felt slightly shoehorned in.I could read about Black Bolt, Blinky, Titania and the Absorbing Man all the livelong day, though. Great stuff.

Quite the same qualities and defaults than book one: - Decent plot with a cool twist in the middle, good interactions between characters, one very well done issue (Creel's funeral) and some frightful revelations on Black Bolt's past but... too many explaining captions all over the place. Saladin Ahmed must learn to let go of his novelist's habits.- Mixed art; not so great pencils imo but amazing colors and psychedelic stuff that compensate.If you liked vol.1 it would really be a shame not to rea...

The second volume of Black Bolt is every bit as delightful as the first. The artwork continues to be entirely wonderful, matched only by the joy of the character work, as Ahmed offers strong character beats for several of the characters involved.Oh, and there's some big fight too, and it's beautifully drawn, and gives some people the opportunity to define their character, and is otherwise OK.

The second half of Ahmed's Black Bolt run isn't as strong as the first. Issue 7 is sad and sweet with a great guest artist. But starting with issue 8, the book runs headlong into complicated Inhumans backstory that it had so skillfully skirted in the first volume. The funeral for Creel is great, but he comes back to life a few issues later which makes his death feel like even more of a cheat than is usually for a comic book death. There's great dialogue scattered throughout and Ahmed really writ...

Black Bolt and Blinky return to earth and go to tell Titania that her husband, the Absorbing Man, is dead. The funeral is interrupted and Blinky is snatched away. Can Black Bolt and Titania save her?I liked Black Bolt, Vol. 1: Hard Time so this one was a no-brainer for me. Still, I didn't think he'd top the first half of this run. Top it, he did. This was easily the most emotional comic I've ever read.After the events of the last book, Black Bolt and Lockjaw have taken a beating. Black Bolt's vo...

Black Bolt and Blinky return to Earth. When the book focuses on the core characters and their new found friendship, the book is great. Unfortunately, Lash enters into the book and delivers a lot of nonsense. Ahmed doesn't really have a handle on these guest characters, Lash, Captain America and Odinson all suffer from acting out of character while delivering cringe-worthy dialogue. The scenes with Medusa? Yikes! They are just bad. Also, where did Black Bolt get all of these additional powers? He...

The artwork here was really great. Still continues on from the previous volume and gives a mini conclusion. Its a little different to anything else Marvel is writing but I think thats why it stands out.

The Midnight King has escaped from the Jailer, and now rockets back towards home with Blinky in tow. His first job is to break the bad news about the death of Crusher Creel to Creel’s wife, Titania, and hell hath no fury like a supervillain grieving. And then, when the old enemies of Attilan catch up with him, Black Bolt finds himself assaulted on all sides, and only his estranged family can save him.Considering this is Saladin Ahmed’s first comics work, you’d never know. This book is extremely

4ish stars.

Volume 2 continues to follow Black Bolt after the fallout of his imprisonment. Creel is gone, but his death and the aftermath of prison follow Black Bolt as he tries to get back to normalcy. Blinky naturally steps into the role of speaker and Black Bolt grows to view her as a daughter as the series unfolds. He’s not well. The loss of his awesome voice works as a metaphor for Black Bolt’s life post prison and Kingship. He’s lost. He’s overwhelmed. He’s listless. What’s great about this series is

Wow o wow! This book finally concluded Ahmed's spectacular Black Bolt miniseries and as cheesy as it may sound, this kind of made me cry after finishing it. I am impressed with how this was written, it's full of nuanced human emotion with a truly creative narration. Black Bolt's character was perfectly fleshed out and established after all these years. The art by Christian Ward tells the story on its own with lively facial expressions, fluid movements and great colors. This whole Black Bolt run

With pages upon pages of magical high-quality art, we get to see the end of a surprisingly good and memorable Black Bolt run. I loved the character relationships in this volume, especially Bolt and Blinky. There were plot twists I loved and really got me more invested in the story. I was not expecting to love an inhuman book so much but after the series came to an end I just wanted more and more.

It is a human story about an inhuman and an alien. It is a story about love and facing fears and finding your home, your voice and your family.Ahmed and Ward and the rest of the team did a wonderful job of giving Black Bolt, usually just a stoic, voiceless, humorless character his humanity.
