review 1: Finally, Brubaker and Lark have produced a collection of Daredevil stories that lives up to the hype surrounding their run. I have been unimpressed with the series since Bendis and Maleev moved on, as Brubaker and Lark have taken Daredevil and entangled him with ill-advised adventures in Europe, a new character with an embarrassingly bad costume (Lady Bullseye wears a light coating of body paint while she flits about NYC doing ninja moves, and it's even closer to tasteless porn than most women's costumes these days), and a depressing affair with an otherwise uninteresting supporting character. In this arc, though, Brubaker is delivering solid material that stands up well alongside his legendary work on Criminal. From the prologue, with a tense and chilling tale of the King... morepin that breathes a bit of extra menace into what could have been a tired "Just when I thought I was out.." story, through the main story's betrayals and surprises, Brubaker churns out a real page-turner that both honors and expands Daredevil and his most important supporting cast members. I loved this collection more than any Daredevil story I've read in years, and I highly recommend it for fans of the character.
review 2: I had read some months ago the prologue, settled in Costa da Morte, a wonderful bit of Galician coastline, and I had really liked it beyond my personal links with this area.The whole album, read as soon as it was published in Britain, tells us the true story following that prologue. Story and characters are fascinating and the end opens, I guess, lot of doors that are surely exciting the fans' brains. But the album as a whole is just OK, with some U-turns (or at least, L-turns) in the plot not very reasonable, particularly if we read only this album and we don't have a full background of secondary characters of Daredevil series. less
