For those who have avoided it up to now, the new Eternal Soulfire series provides a good starting point, as it moves the main character into a new life and a new start.
The focus is on an attractive young woman named Cassidy who lives a normal life until she suddenly sprouts colorful wings and finds herself under attack, hunted by a paramilitary organization.
It seems any manifestation of magic is against the law, so Cassidy has to find a way to survive despite overwhelming odds.
It's a fast-paced adventure written by J. T. Krul with wonderful, expressive art by Alex Konat and Julie Salvateirra, Mark Rosland and Gabe Carrasco.
The issue feels for all the world like a classic X-Men story, as a teen suddenly develops powers but is persecuted for it. Oh, and replace mutants with magic.
It's a fun start to a "new" series.
Grade: B+
