SOMETHING STIRS BENEATH HELL'S KITCHEN!
For months, the bloodthirsty and demonic DEMOGOBLIN has been kidnapping children for reasons unknown. IN THIS SERIES, Daredevil and Echo discover why - as Demogoblin works to wake an ancient and powerful evil deep within the bowels of the city. Reunited at last with Echo, herself fresh from a brief time as the host of the Phoenix force, it falls to DAREDEVIL to stop Demagoblin and save not only the children, but everyone in New York!
Rated T+
Daredevil & Echo #1 is a strong start to a miniseries that plays with the history of Hells Kitchen and the mystical side of the neighborhood. While some of the writing stumbles a bit in regards to narration, it isn't enough to detract from the story unfolding, or the stunning level of craft on display from Notos art and colors. Fans interested in a quieter, less tortured version of a Daredevil book or those interested in the ongoing story of Echo will want to check out this issue. Read Full Review
Daredevil and Echo #1 plunges the heroes into something totally different. Taboo and Earls subseries of mixing the street-level heroes with a magical, horror aspect has proved effective before, and the early signs of brilliance are here as well. Read Full Review
Daredevil & Echo #1 comes out swinging with revealing flashbacks of Manhattan's past, a killer on the loose, and two team-ups worth investing in. If you dig superhero team-ups and past truths revealing themselves, pick this one up! Read Full Review
Daredevil & Echo #1 kicks off a horror mystery about an ancient evil waiting to emerge from the bowels of Hell's Kitchen. Taboo & B. Earl have an interesting concept on their hands, and Phil Noto's art looks good, but this single issue tries to do too much at once, so the plot feels rushed. Read Full Review
While many fans are thrilled to see these two working together again, Daredevil & Echo #1 is a bit of a mixed bag. Read Full Review
Daredevil and Echo #1 did not have the familiar marks that define these characters. Read Full Review
Not bad at all. The writing is decent and the art is as well. It's not a typical street level beat em' up adventure and that's the main thing I dug about it. It's got a mystery that stretches back over a hundred years and the staggered story telling between the the two time lines works well to tell the story. I love team up books....when they are done well that is. This comic is done well and I think DD and Echo fans will enjoy it. The price, as usual, is the main drawback to the book.

Poor writing and dialogue get in the way of what could be an interesting story, wasting some good (especially character) art.
