james_desantis 's review for:
Daredevil: Back in Black Vol. 8: The Death of Daredevil
by Charles Soule
This volume felt disjointed. I'm wondering if they kicked off Charles Soule earlier than he expected.
The first half deals with Mike Murdock. Oh, never heard of him? Don't worry...me either. I never did but the book does a great job of explaining it within a couple of pages. But Mike Murdock was just Matt making believe he was someone else. How is he REAL!? The 2nd half is dealing with taking down Mayor Fisk after Matt was hit by a truck. It's...different.
Overall, this came as a tad bit disappointing. I enjoyed some of it a lot. The stuff with Mike Murdock was actually pretty funny. But the 2nd half feels rushed and weird throughout. I get the idea behind it and the big reveal, but it didn't land that well. Don't get me wrong, the art is great, and I do love the final 5 or 6 pages, but the rest? It was okay.
A 3 out of 5. Sadly not going out in a bang but Soule run was overall pretty fun. On to Chip!
