Daredevil Noir by Tomm Coker, Alexander C. Irvine
2.0
This wasn't far enough off from Daredevil's initial origin to make this interesting for me.
It does have more of a classic Noir feel compared to Iron Man Noir, but I enjoyed that book a lot more. I don't know if it's just that I find Matt Murdock to be a bland character (doubtful considering I love him on the show) or if it's just this book but I couldn't really find anything to latch onto. There's a "romance" that progresses out of one meeting somehow. The narrative wasn't moving enough that I got invested in it at all.
The art is absolutely gorgeous. It's exactly what you want for a story like this. I did enjoy the Bullseye aspect of this. Also, I found Kingpin to be likable enough.
Ultimately, I just didn't love the story and I wasn't invested.
