Soldier X #1

"Dear Irene..." kicks off Soldier X #1 with a quiet but potent emotional core, as Irene clings to hope that Nathan, missing for two years, might still be alive. After a tense encounter with S.H.I.E.L.D., she’s handed a diary that offers a fragile thread of proof—Nathan’s voice, recounting his search for meaning and a surprising reunion with an old friend. Written by Darko Macan and brought to life with intimate, textured art by Igor Kordey—both pencils and inks—this issue blends personal mystery with the weight of a hidden past, all wrapped in Chris Chuckry’s subtle coloring and Randy Gentile’s precise lettering. The cover by Igor Kordey captures the story’s quiet urgency, a single page from the diary floating in shadow.
