This is a title which may have slipped under most people's radars, but if you aren't reading it then you're missing out. Read Full Review
The Kingpin saves Sarah's life first literally, then metaphorically. But does he taint all he touches? Miguel Sepulveda's guest art is the only potential weakness in this issue, and it's not really all that weak. Matthew Rosenberg's script delivers action, emotion, and heavy moral quandaries for both Sarah and the reader. (Also a surprising amount of solid humor.) This is Sarah's "too good to be true" moment, and the only questions left for the final issue are how and why it's all going to fall apart - and what will be left in the aftermath.
I have really enjoyed this story. I think with each issue it just keeps getting better. Fisk has bigger plans and we will see where this winds up. Art has been ok, but nothing to complain about.
The only concerns are: 1. that he is barely rebuilding at this point but other titles present him as an equal rival to Black Cat if not more powerful already. And 2: he is clearly being remade to match his Netflix counterpart which -in principal- is sad that film continues to dictate what has to be in the books instead of the other way around.
