Reviews

[Krystal · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed the first two ARCs but with the annual things got weird and never really improved from there.

This was actually my first Daredevil story and unfortunately this didn't sell him on me at all. I enjoyed the stuff with Blindspot, and I liked the story - it was solid, interesting, and more than just beating up thugs.

But the two confusing stories in the middle seemed really pointless, and add Punisher into the mix and it's just bland brawn, with everyone fighting everyone and arguing over who is good and who is bad without any real depth or story.

So while the first portion was interesting, it wasn't enough to have me keen to read more DD.

Maybe DD fans will get more out of this than me, and perhaps sticking to just the Soule run would be a more entertaining option, but I won't be raving about this one.
