Soulfire (Michael Turner’s…)

    (Aspen, 2004-2006, 2009, 2022)
™ and © 2004 Aspen MLI, Inc.

Between Turner’s current workload for DC and problems with Top Cow, fans were beginning to wonder whether this long-anticipated project would ever launch. In August, it finally did, and the next question on fans’ minds was probably: Was it worth the wait?

Absolutely. One need look no further than the early scene of a medieval dragon attacking 23rd century San Francisco to know that, simply put, this is a pretty cool book. There’s no question that this introductory issue is more image than substance, but Turner’s usual gorgeous visuals make this hard to dislike. Turner’s fans are obviously the targeted audience, but Loeb provides just enough of a story structure to hook those looking for more than just pretty pictures. And the story is one of literature’s classics: An ancient entity looks for a chosen one to fight an ancient, reborn evil.

Speaking of reborn evils, be warned that there is the usual slew of exclusive, variant, and limited editions of this issue that command a number of higher prices than the standard edition.
