Gradually his involvement ballooned (in fact, you see him sharing “story” credits) and then he fully took over. In fact, he originally joined as an artist. Part of the issue here is that the Omnibus includes issues where he wasn’t necessarily the writer. And, under his stewardship, it actually became a monthly title. In fact, he only got so much freedom to rewrite the character because the title was on the verge of cancellation. Daredevil – when he joined the title – was in a bad state, even by the wacky standards of the tail end of the Silver Age. He can’t make gold instantaneously from air. Don’t get me wrong – it is all of those big, important-sounding words I mentioned above and more. UNION #1-2 VENOM (2018) #31-34 and KING IN BLACK HANDBOOK.

But I feel maybe Nalini didn’t want to introduce something so soon. I’d admit I was suspecting, and hoping, our dearest Elena would show some new and ultimately breathtaking new angelic power of destruction. Unfortunately, I feel we haven’t seen the last of Tasha, and even though her role in this book was relatively small, I’m regrettably dreading the next book because characters such as her have a nasty habit of returning. This, and only this, was a massive downside for me reading this book. Rocket launches and all.Īs always, I feel saddened and disappointed when a ‘third wheel’ tries to come between a pair I truly adore, so it’s no surprise that I want to carve out Tasha’s eyes with my blade. I feel Ashwini and Naasir would get along well. I can honestly say he’s becoming a favourite of mine, the lunatic with the manic grin. He remains the last of the Seven that we truly see in full light of Elena’s perspective, and he didn’t disappoint. I find that my fascination for Naasir has reached new heights since that first glimpse we saw in ‘Archangel’s Kiss’. Full of everything I usually adore in her series, both Guild Hunter and Psy/Changeling, it was a true representation of the love of a family that’s stronger then blood and such fierce devotion, Raphael and Elena both blew me away with the depths that they feel for each other. As always, Nalini Singh took my breath away with her newest addition, ‘Archangel’s Legion’. I have a love/hate relationship with these characters. I don’t want to elaborate on the storyline because, with all the twists and turns this book took, it’ll be a lot to chew through and I’m 102% positive I’m going to spoil something. I wasn’t sure what was coming, but I knew it was coming straight from hell. Pretty much me while reading The Untouchables. We were all fakers lying to people who were lying to themselves.
