dantastic's review against another edition
2.0
This wasn't terrible but I didn't exactly like it either. Daredevil and Brandy go on the run with a genetically engineered woman called Number Nine and eventually get entangled with Karnak and Gorgon of the Inhumans, on earth looking for Medusa and Blackbolt's son. There's also a trip to hell for some reason.
JRJR's art is great and Nocenti's story is well written even though I didn't particularly care for it. I think the story would work better with a hero other than Daredevil in the lead. There's nothing about this that makes it feel like a Daredevil story apart from Daredevil being in it. No Hell's Kitchen, no legal matters, none of the Daredevil supporting cast or villains.
Daredevil going walkabout in upstate New York sounds fine in theory. In practice, it takes away a lot of what makes Daredevil special and shows how super heroes are a lot harder to make work outside of a city setting.
Two stars. I'm ready for Daredevil to get back to Hell's Kitchen so the next writer can put the toys back into start position.
