Daredevil - Charles Soule
- Chinatown
- Murdock has somehow handwaved away his public identity (with plot
magic!) and is back in NYC working as an unappreciated ADA, not beloved
defender. Daredevil has taken a young superhero, Blindspot, who happens
to be an illegal alien, under his wing. A charismatic cult leader
named Tenfingers has amassed a following in Chinatown. He has mystic
power and proclaims he wants to "save everyone" (his actual motives and
endgame were unclear to me), but then the Hand comes knocking. I
enjoyed this rebooting of Hornhead's story, but the story felt a bit
rushed, with an ending that doesn't answer much about the villain. And
I'm not a fan of the ziptoned, washed-out gray and redscale coloring. [4]
- Supersonic - Ambushed by an enraged Elektra who thinks he's kidnapped her daughter, DD realizes she's had a false memory planted, as part of an attack on him. He goes to Macao to track down the Black Cat, and asks Spider-Man to help him retrieve some information. It's not clear to me how he knew that Black Cat is behind the false memory. I did enjoy the interplay between DD and Spidey, especially the part where Spider-Man gets DD to open up to him. I thought that was very in-character for both of them. This volume also includes the annual with a story in which DD and Echo team up to stop a sound invasion by Klaw, and a rather brutal Gladiator story. [4]
