Black Bolt, Vol. 2: Home Free by Saladin Ahmed
4.0
Black Bolt volume 2 is more really good stuff from this series. I wish there was more of it, or at the very least there was another title that takes place after this that features Wishbone in a big role, he isn't exactly a major player except for briefly every now and then but I always like him when he shows up. A man of few words, and only when he needs to be.
The supporting cast of Blinky, Lock Jaw, and about half way through Titania. The book is untouchable when it's those four. The dialogue and characters feel so natural it's a joy to read. Guest characters show up and I enjoy them, It's friggin Captain America but how they just show up feels out of place, though I enjoyed them either way. How the title progresses towards the end feels natural, like it was always going to end that way. And the focus on character dynamics and depth make this a joyus read, and pique my interest in the team that worked on it. Saladin Ahmed has my attention.
The art by Christian Ward and Frazer Irving is suited well to the intimate nature of the story that examines Black Bolt and Blinky. And how the story is laid out lends itself to the colored visuals and great depiction of memory and how the powers of these characters work.
ALl in all I enjoyed my time with the Midnight King and look forward to more time with him in the future. I'll also be keeping my eye out for those who made it.
4 stars, a great time and worthy successor to and outstanding first volume.
