It pains me to say this but I didn't love this as much as I hoped.

I read issue 1 when it first came out and really enjoyed it. Wanted to wait till it was done so I can run through the whole first arc. So what's it about? Our boy Black Bolt is trapped in a prison. Not just any prison, it's run by a creature of some sorts who can take away your powers and torture you till you basically die. Over and over again he brings you the point of almost death and then plays the game to bring you back and suffer. So Black Bolt meets a couple of other inmates and their mission is prison break basically.

Good: The art is pretty solid. Very vivid and dark but works for the themes. I also enjoyed the backstory of certain criminals and goes to show you there's always more than meets the eye. Black Bolt getting to speak was nice and getting to see his reactions and such to dialog is wonderful.

Bad: Not every inmate was interesting. Some were flat out boring. I also thought the pacing was off, while sometimes really interesting and well done, other times dull. I didn't really feel the emotion the series was going for.

Overall a well constructed story and themes but misses the emotion mark for me so I didn't care about too much outside of Black Bolt. Overall a 3 out of 5.
