Charles Soule, writer on the Astonishing X-Men maxi-series, has just told a room of retailers at New York Comic Con that the whole point of the book is to bring Charles Xavier back as a living character in the Marvel universe So that's what's happening. So don't expect him to just stay as an astral figure as[...]

Writer Charles Soule has been talking about Daredevil and the Mayor Fisk story at New York Comic Con. Recognising a legacy of incredible creators, he

Curse Words, the Image Comics series by Charles Soule and Ryan Browne, is getting into the holiday spirit Joining the likes of Giant Days, Spawn, and The Wicked + The Divine, the Curse Words Holiday Special will bring the holiday cheer this year. Mike Norton provides the art for the special, along with a variant cover,[...]

Charles Soule has proven himself an adept X-Men writer But the comic is not in a vacuum; it's continuing the story of the Astonishing X-Men Consequently, it feels weaker because it's not supporting the tone of the comic thus far. Beyond this, the comic does work fine It's cool seeing Logan do his thing and lone[...]

Much kudos to writer Charles Soule for putting all of this together. Artist Giuseppe Camuncoli still feels like an odd choice for the title His art style is a bit too light-hearted and cartoonish for this kind of comic title That is not to say his art is bad, quite the opposite However, it is ill-fitted[...]

That is a bit of a shame, but I do understand the sentiment on Charles Soule's part. Ron Garney's return is one of the most exciting parts of the comic The plot is enthralling, but Garney's gorgeous artwork and stunning depictions of the Chinese landscape steal the show Garney captures the world of Daredevil perfectly, and his[...]

With 6.8 million people already affected by Hurricane Harvey and more rain and flooding still to come, the people in Texas need the support of everyone around the world. Charles Soule, writer of Astonishing X-Men and Daredevil for Marvel Comics, put out a call to his fans to donate to the Red Cross to support its[...]

That's not Charles Soule's fault, and Secret Empire has, mercifully, left the Daredevil comic untouched However, it's hard not to see the irony and touch of hypocrisy. The art of Alec Morgan has started to grow a little cold for me There is a weird ugliness to the characters, and the teeth look especially off[...]

Astonishing X-Men #2 is a solid issue. While the machinations of the Shadow King don’t go to many unexpected places, they’re still brought to life well.

The first issue was incredible; I read an issue here or there after it started, and I am now collecting the trades, which have brought great enjoyment to me in the reading. I intended to try the comic once again when Charles Soule took over, a writer who I've greatly enjoyed in comics like Daredevil and[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] I've praised Charles Soule's Daredevil already for its ability to genuinely keep me guessing as to where its story is going I'd like to happily report that this trend is continuing with this new issue. Legal beat out Matt Murdock in Slug's case at the Court of Appeals Even with the testimony of Daredevil, Legal[...]

Fantomex, Gambit, Bishop, Psylocke, Mystique: these aren't exactly the "let's play some softball" X-Men. That does make me curious how writer Charles Soule intends to keep this team together He may not intend that, and this will just be the group for the first phase of the comic That would be interesting. Astonishing X-Men was most certainly an[...]

Human comic book writing machine Charles Soule has announced a new prose novel, his first, heading to stores in April, 2018 Called The Oracle Year, the book is about "a twentysomething New Yorker who wakes up one morning with the power to predict the future—perfect for fans of Joe Hill and Brad Meltzer, or books[...]

The new store is already getting ready for their first big event too! On August 5th, Charles Soule and Ryan Browne will be stopping by the shop from 11 a.m to 2 p.m promoting Curse Words Volume 1, and the first 30 in line get a special gift for the event I will tell you[...]

To allow them to testify in court to make sure the criminals they capture get locked away would answer a lot of criticisms about the genre while adding new angles for the storytelling methods. I genuinely have no idea where writer Charles Soule is going with this The only two outs seem to be Matt actually[...]

That is, to all sense and purposes, the plot of the new Darth Vader series by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli for Marvel Comics Set after Revenge Of The Sith, he needs to prove himself in battle and take a Jedi lightsaber to torture and turn into a weapon of the Sith. Only problem is, they killed[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Charles Soule's tenure on Daredevil has certainly been a darker turn for the Man Without Fear than the one Eisner Award-winning Mark Waid wrote This book has played a lot with the noir-cum-mystical martial arts flick influences that have come to define the Daredevil mythos over the years It has done this pretty well, especially[...]

Seeing Vader do his thing is always a welcome sight, and his utter destruction of these hapless thieves is a joy. Charles Soule has written pretty extensively in the Marvel Star Wars universe at this point, and he has a great handle on what it takes to get these characters off the page and into your[...]

A while back, when news broke about the new Astonishing X-Men series from Charles Soule and a rotating cavalcade of various artists, I posited a theory as to just who the big bad of the series would be. I had assumed Cassandra Nova, a character whose first major action against mutant-kind involved genocide of the species[...]

Earlier this month, when Marvel revealed that their new X-Force book by Charles Soule will be called Astonishing X-Men, readers were forced to assume that either the book would have a rotating art team, or the art would materialize fully formed out of thin air by sheer force of willpower, since no artists were announced for[...]

Following a series of teasers all week, Marvel revealed yesterday that Charles Soule will be writing a very X-Force-y Astonishing X-Men book with an as-yet undisclosed team of artists Today, they've revealed via media partner IGN that Soule will also be writing a Star Wars book, Darth Vader, with artist Giuseppe Camuncoli The story will pick[...]

X-Men, which you can see my review of here) Charles Soule, the press release includes this tantalising tidbit. Old Man Logan, Archangel, Mystique, Rogue, Gambit, Bishop,Psylocke and Fantomex Together, they are the Astonishing X-Men But what brings this eclectic collection of heroes together? A familiar menace has once again reared its ugly head – reborn, renewed[...]

Throwing a curveball fans' way, the comic will not actually be called X-Force, but Astonishing X-Men, as decided during a typical Marvel creative summit exercise where pros put on a blindfold, spin around until they're dizzy, and then try to pin a donkey tail onto a random adjective, a process which is actually far more complex than the one by[...]

Yeah, that's it.) Anyway, IvX#6, written by Charles Soule and Jeff Lemire with art by Leinil Francis Yu, Gerry Alanguilan and David Curiel ended today, closing what has been a frankly tedious and unmemorable chapter of X-Men history and the end of the first step in Marvel's hard push to make Inhumans a thing. This event promised[...]

X-Men, is onto it's second series…and already one side has won. Writers Charles Soule and Jeff Lemire move the siege of New Attilan along at break neck pace, as the X-Men literally storm the castle and take out the Inhumans so they can focus on getting rid of the last Terrigen cloud and making Earth safe[...]

X-Men) has started in earnest, it means we are most likely going to get post-issue break down interviews over at CBR. And with the release of IvX#1 we get one such interview with series co-writer Charles Soule As an avid comics fan and reader, a big fan of Charles Soule in particular, and admittedly, huge X-Men[...]

X-Men War is all about the Terrigen Mists, and possibly about an evil plot by the mysterious Emma Frost… but what if that's all a lie?! IvX #1, from Charles Soule, Jeff Lemire, and Leinil Yu, hits stores on December 14 But Bleeding Cool is the only website with a lettered preview right now… because[...]
