That said, I enjoyed this issue a great deal, and rather more than I thought I would, too. Ive got a couple of Frank Millers issues, a handful of the Ann Nocenti/JRJR comics, and Kevin Smiths storyline, so Im by no means an enthusiast, but this seemed like a pretty good Daredevil comic to me. In this issue we have an effective set up for a compelling mystery, and lots of interesting tensions and ambiguities. As long as Marvels editorial department havent kludged up the pacing of future issues, this could be a considerable success, and certainly proof enough that sometimes it is worth producing miniseries starring characters who already have their own ongoing title.

However, if it seems like Im giving this issue a little more flack than it deserves in terms of my final score, then maybe its because Im becoming tired of the first-issue-syndrome that affects this sort of miniseries. Whilst I have no doubt that theres a well-crafted larger plot being set up here, this issue doesnt exactly thrill me in its own right, although it crafts a good sense of atmosphere and intrigue. Im sure itll read well as part of the completed story (and eventual trade), but with another month from now until issue #2, Redemption hasnt totally grabbed me yet. Read Full Review
In a nutshell: because I like the interior art. I am sure if I read the comic again I might get more from it, but on first reading not my bag baby! Read Full Review
poor artwork, uninteresting story, totally unappealing to me. Read Full Review
