Since issue #2 of this series won’t be shipping until later this months, here’s my chance to catch people up on one of the hottest new series around, Soulfire.
Artist Michael Turner and writer Jeph Loeb, the creative team also currently working on Superman/Batman for DC, bring together a fun mix of sci-fi and fantasy in a sweet looking package.
Loeb shows his strengths right off the bat with a series of intriguing mysteries, such as how did a dragon’s skeleton, uncovered at Machu Picchu in 2007, get there and why is a live, and clearly ill-willed one destroying everything in sight in 2211?
And Turner’s art is, as usual, outstanding — with sexy women, fun clothes, dynamic battles and awesome tech.
This series, which Turner says will last about 12 issues, should be a fun one to follow.
