Soulfire #1 (2019) reignites the fantasy epic with a fresh chapter from Aspen Comics, blending breathtaking visuals, high-stakes storytelling, and a world where technology and magic collide. Created by the late Michael Turner, Soulfire has long stood as a flagship title for fans of modern fantasy comics, and this 2019 issue offers a bold new entry point for both returning readers and newcomers.
This issue marks the beginning of a new arc, diving into a future where magic has reawakened, but its return has not brought peace. Instead, civilisation teeters on the edge of chaos, and ancient forces—once thought dormant—are stirring. At the heart of it all is Miya, a powerful young magic user navigating a world where her powers are both a gift and a curse. As factions vie for control of the rekindled magical energy, Miya must choose who to trust in a world full of shadowy allegiances and long-buried secrets.
The story, penned by J.T. Krul, retains the emotional depth and fantastical wonder that defined Turner's original vision, while pushing the narrative into new territory. Krul explores the duality of power and purpose, examining what happens when the mythical collides with the modern. The pacing is sharp, with well-executed action scenes balanced by quieter, reflective character moments that enrich the mythos of the Soulfire universe.
Art duties are handled with grace and dynamism, echoing Michael Turner's iconic style while evolving it for a new generation. The visuals are lush and vibrant, filled with intricate linework and dazzling use of colour that brings this world of flying dragons, sleek tech, and magical explosions to vivid life. Each page captures the scale and grandeur of a world where skyborne creatures and mystic warriors are as real as the struggles they face.
This is more than a fantasy comic—it’s a richly imagined universe where hope and danger go hand in hand. Perfect for readers who enjoy stories like Fathom, Lady Mechanika, or Witchblade, this issue sets the stage for epic conflict, personal transformation, and the enduring battle between light and darkness.
Each copy is individually bagged in an acid-free sleeve and paired with a sturdy backing board to protect and preserve its condition. Your order will be securely packaged in a reinforced book mailer, ensuring quick UK dispatch with safe, damage-resistant delivery for collectors and fans alike.
Soulfire #1 (2019) offers a compelling entry into a visionary fantasy saga—where magic returns not to save the world, but to challenge everything we thought we knew.
