    A strong issue with a cliffhanger that will get resolved in issue 10 of the regular book that will be on sale soon. As a bonus for this bumper issue we also get a chance to revisit the events of issue 170 by Frank Miller A.K.A. "THE KINGPIN MUST DIE! So this issue is truly a fiskfull of dollars. I can't wait for the next issue. Read Full Review

    Davidson delivers beautifully brutal art throughout the issue. The imagery is brilliantly detailed and delivers on the dark and brutal tone of the story. Read Full Review

    Giant-Size Daredevil #1 paints a bloody tale of revenge and rage as Fisk is out for blood and willing to hold nothing back to achieve his goals. Though setting up a bigger story we still become invested through Fisk's eyes and I can tell you I will be picking up the follow up issue! Read Full Review

    Delve into the unique dynamic between Sin and the Kingpin as they storm Hell's Kitchen. We get a rare glimpse into Fisk's mind and bear witness to his relentless attacks. While this is Daredevil's Giant-Size issue, Fisk is the one calling the shots, leaving you to ponder his motives for luring DD in. This interlude to the Introductory Rites story arc hopefully ramps the excitement for the rest of the adventure. Read Full Review

    The narrating gives off a chilling vibe and presents Kingpin even scarier than he normally is. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez

    Though this is titled Giant-Size Daredevil it is a one-shot that the Man and Woman Without Fear are supporting characters at best. This is really a Wilson Fisk comic book to continue reestablishing himself as the Kingpin of Crime again. In terms of that, Saladin Ahmed and Paul Davidson accomplished their mission statement.

    Fisk's sudden character regression is explained, and it's exactly what I thought it was. He isn't quite returning to his old status quo, which is a relief, and his final line sets up an interesting internal conflict. Still, the narration was occasionally tedious, as it seemed like Ahmed needed to fill his page count. I'm glad this advanced the larger plot, though, unlike the recent Giant-Size Hulk issue.

    I liked the art and it's a pretty good Kingpin narrated story. Don't really care about the reprint since I own the original.

    Another awful issue. Frank Miller's reprint - one of his earliest writer/artist efforts --THATS how you portray Kingpin and tell a story. Kingpin whines about being controlled but aside from being more brazen, nothing he does is out of character. And DD has become totally uninteresting as a character.
