IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WILSON FISK, THINK AGAIN!
• WILSON FISK's criminal past has tarnished his public image, but to move beyond it, Fisk must face the demons of his past...and convince the world he's changed!
• Writer SARAH DEWEY has conflicted feelings about helping him turn over this new leaf...but is Fisk's promise of complete transparency and a big (legal) pay day too good for Sarah to pass up?
• This is the Kingpin in all his brutal honesty...the man, the murderer, the criminal...and the good Samaritan?!
Rated T+
Overall, this comic is an amazing leap into the world of Kingpin. It shows that the man he was is still alive in him and, we are treated to shades of man he was before he became Kingpin. I'm not sure where this arc is going but, I'm glad to be going along on this journey with Sarah. The material is rich, the characters are engaging and the art work is the perfect baseline for the overall mood of the comic. Read Full Review
What we've got here is an exceptional piece of work. From the stylised art to the emotional storytelling, it's exactly what it needs to be. Read Full Review
Kingpin #2 shows writer Rosenberg's total commitment to getting the character right, minus the strange decision from the first issue. The reader can feel Fisk's tendrils wrapping around Dewey as she becomes further trapped and willingly forced to do the big man's bidding. Kingpin is shaping up to be a can't-miss series for anyone interested in character development and the ways that both good and bad people can end up in situations they don't deserve. Read Full Review
Jordan Boyd's funereal color palette (The hospital and the fundraiser for it look almost the same), Ben Torres' unhesitating look at human pain and suffering through intimate close-ups, and Matthew Rosenberg's pitch perfect writing of Wilson Fisk's double talk and Sarah Dewey's determination and vulnerability ensure thatKingpin#2doesn't suffer from a sophomore slump. And a final page cameo throws the moral order of this comic into even more imbalance. Read Full Review
It's an intriguing take on the Kingpin, but there's not enough here to render a judgment about its long-term story. So far, it's promising. Read Full Review
A slow burn character study that's burning a little too slowly. Some uneven art put this at risk of blowing out before it can really catch. Read Full Review
This book delivers on all fronts. I disagree with the idea that Sarah Dewey is the protagonist. She's a great character and is flawed. We see everything from her point of view but she isn't the reason why I picked up the book, it's Wilson Fisk.
Matthew Rosenberg is writing an amazing story. I wasn't much of a fan of the Kingpin before; however this book shows all sides of his personality that he seems more human and relatable. Under Rosenberg, Wilson Fisk is a complex character with elements of Walter White, Tony Soprano, and Raymond Reddington. Ben Torres continues to deliver amazing art.
This is now my favorite comic.
The book could save Marvel!!!
very rich
Rosenberg continues to explore the human side of the Kingpin, with a certain dark menace underlying his displays of humanity. A deeper look than we are used to. I liked it.
Kingpin slowly, subtly briarpatches Sarah into working for him. I'm not thrilled with getting two fancy ball scenes in as many issues, but other than the repetitive settings there isn't much wrong with this. The art is solid and there's some real insight in the characterization. It's tough to tell at this point whether this series is being dramatic or melodramatic, though.
