- "Star Wars is, among other things, very fun."
- ―Charles Soule

He debuted in mainstream comics in 2013 with the creator-owned Oni Press series Letter 44. For DC Comics he scripted Swamp Thing, Red Lanterns and Superman/Wonder Woman and, for Marvel, Thunderbolts.
In 2014, Soule wrote the latest volume of She-Hulk and Inhuman and, with Steve McNiven, created the Death of Wolverine event. He signed a Marvel exclusive contract and ended his tenure at DC Comics.

This was followed by a second novel, Anyone, the following year.

It's fun to say.
