Daredevil: Back in Black, Volume 2: Supersonic by Charles Soule

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book collects Issues 6-9 of Daredevil as well as Annual #1.

Issues 6 and 7 find Daredevil going to meet Elektra and Elektra trying to kill him for a very personal reason. It's a Noirish story with a good twist.

Issues 8 and 9 are Blind Man's Bluff, which finds Matt Murdoch playing poker incognito in Issue 7 leading to a team up with Spider-man in Issue 8. This story had some interesting ideas and a lot of fun, but also some fairly dumb plotholes.

The Annual contains a kind of mediocre story involving Echo and a pretty bad one involving Gladiator.

This book isn't bad and there's some great art in here, but I'm really feeling this new Daredevil series isn't for me. Soule turned the entire status quo at the end of Mark Waid's run on its head and two books in, he's not offering any explanations or even any hints. The series would have to be great to overcome my annoyance and this one just isn't. Not bad, but not for me.
