    Arcbound has an insanely talented creative team behind it and it shows in this debut issue. With outstanding visuals, unique and well developed characters and a story that sets itself apart from others in the genre, Arcbound will have no problem finding its spot in the vast word of comics. We cannot wait to see where this team takes this story in future issues. Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg

    Nov 15, 2024

    Somewhere between Dune and Halo lies Arcbound. Building off a surprisingly well-constructed set of characters from Tom Hardy, writers Scott Snyder and Frank Tieri have crafted a first issue which stabs right at the heart of the human condition. Arcbound #1 succeeds in striking balance between deep philosophical questions and high stakes (and sometimes brutal) action. Read Full Review

    Arcbound #1 isn't a bad start but it also doesn't feel original enough to really stand out. It'll be interesting to see where it goes in the second issue as there's a few directions but overall, it's a debut that feels a bit too derivative. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte

    Nov 15, 2024

    Arcbound #1 seems like it's trying to be a big bombastic first step into a new universe, but it ends up being a pretty boring and predictable one instead. Read Full Review
