Review:
So far, this is my least favorite story arc that Ed Brubaker has written during his Daredevil run. It’s still a good story but it’s mostly about court drama and trying to uncover a mysterious plot that sees an innocent man, who is actually a real monster, confessing to murders he didn’t commit.
I think this is a good break from the intensity of the series since Brubaker started, which saw Daredevil in prison fighting for his life, his final show down with Kingpin’s wife and then the irreparable damage that Mr. Fear did to his personal life.
This is kind of slow but it’s still interesting and there are real stakes here, as Dakota North gets severely fucked up at the hands of those behind this mysterious ruse.
Also, the mystery itself was pretty unpredictable and interesting.
Still, this felt like a halftime break between the two halves of Brubaker’s run.
That being said, I really look forward to what he has left and how he ends his run.
Rating: 7.5/10
Pairs well with: the other Daredevil comics from his Marvel Knights run.
