Final ThoughtsThere is a lot of potential here for this series. This could be an absolutely amazing series that subverts expectations for what comics can bring to their readers but at the moment, the setup is what it is...a setup. Expect a slow burn with this one. Read Full Review
Credit where it's due, Marvel's Ravencroft series is doing everything it can in order to separate itself from the obvious comparisons to Arkham Asylum. Read Full Review
While this issue goes some way to resolving a number of the problems I had with the Ravencroft series and one-shots it still doesn’t do enough to lift it above mediocre. I’m remaining hopeful that as it progresses this may change but as it stands I’m finding it hard to be overly invested in it. Read Full Review
This was fine. I wish the story was moving quicker.
It has some good parts and I really like Kingpin so I can't complain there just doesnt feel like a must read series.
I’m beginning to worry that I may never know where that dude’s intestines ended up.
Fisk's historical link to Ravencroft is revealed -- he used to feed corpses to the Unwanted during his early gangster days. Now they threaten his new version of the asylum, and the staff and inmates are prosecuting their own schemes. It's the barest bones of a mediocre story, fleshed out with the sort of creative work that should give editors buyer's remorse when they cut paychecks.
