Black Bolt, Vol. 1: Hard Time by Saladin Ahmed
4.0
Saladin Ahmed is writing for Marvel Comics? You have my attention.
And, seriously, if you haven’t read Ahmed’s novel, Throne of the Crescent Moon, you should go do that. Immediately.
Ahmed’s take on Black Bolt is my introduction to the Inhumans, and it definitely has me wanting to go find out more about the Royal Family. Black Bolt awakens, powerless, in prison. What follows is part mystery, part prison break, and part tale of the sacrifices we make for our friends. The writing here is top notch and the art and coloring (the coloring!!!) are a perfect match to the story.
Marvel has put together an A+ creative team, and they deliver on every aspect of the series. I hope they continue to work together for many issues to come. I know I’ll be around to pick up each new issue as it comes out.
