A good book that adapts the comic series from the 90s, but makes adjustments for modernity and some plot changes towards the end regarding Matt's young friend.
It's a good read as a whole. The pace drags a little at times, but I did enjoy it. This book will have a hard time finding it's niche audience given it's an adaptation of the hero's origin - which many fans of comics know. It is also a bit more graphic in terms of violence so I'm thinking teens who don't have much experience with the character would be the ideal demographic for it.
I liked it, but some aspects could've been better and certain parts of the original story (ex: Elektra) don't fully translate well into this particular origin retelling.
