Death-Defying Devil #1 is a perfect introduction to a forgotten hero of the Golden Age, which neatly modernizes the concept while capturing everything that made the character so interesting.

Gail Simone and Walter Geovani have created another comic masterpiece. Read Full Review
Overall, Death-Defying Devil #1 was an exciting start to a story centering a pulp hero that you don't see nearly enough of.

A book with a whole lot of promise. It may not be the ‘Devil you know, but it may soon be the ‘Devil you love. Read Full Review
Refreshingly tension-filled with insurmountable odds against the hero, DEATH-DEFYING DEVIL is a fun superhero read, and I'll be looking forward to the next issue. I think you should, too. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, in an odd slice of "life imitating art", as alluded by the mysterious cloaked character, could Simone actually be "slumming it"? Read Full Review
In some ways, this issue feels like a bit of a throwback, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Read Full Review
Flashback to an 80s primitive storyline, with a watered down Frank Miller imitator and beginner art.
Also being assaulted in an alleyway and then having the hero arrive to save you is the biggest cliche in comics.
