With everything that has happened the past month or so I have slacked off on getting my reading done. I thought it would be good to get Devil’s Reign out of the way so I can finish the first volume of Daredevil from Chip Zdarsky and get into the second before it gets away from me.
Not sure why but I feel this was more of a Defenders book than a Daredevil book. Hell’s Kitchen got left behind in the middle of this and it seemed to grow more and more into a New York Marvel event rather than just a Daredevil story. The tail end even seemed like a subconscious discussion on government overreach, but it could just be the writer not pulling in on the scope of the Kingpin’s plan.
The Omega issue left me a little in need of a Defenders book to help wrap up what was started. The Luke Cage, Purple Children and the looming law enforcement status all seemed important at the end but were just left there without telling me where to read next. The negative side of this event is that DD and Elektra left the story before it ended. They were there physically, but you can tell the writer moved them to another story before finishing this.
Not a bad event overall but we will see how it, the characters and the plots move into the future.
