Daredevil Noir #1 review

By: Broray

With Daredevil, Marvel unveils its third noir title. Being a devout DD fan, I gave it a shot. I should have steered clear of this one. Both X-Men and Spiderman Noir went from mediocre, to poor, to just bad. Daredevil Noir is starting at poor.

It’s rumored that this story was pitched for DD’s ongoing title, but was turned into this noir series. What does that say about the quality of this tale? Is one man’s trash truly another man’s treasure? Not in this case. Daredevil has a nourish style to it already. Besides some period pieces and a goofy costumes, its not a new incarnation of the Dareveil mythos. Matt Murdock is Daredevil and Foggy is Foggy. There is nothing new or re-invented as in the other noir titles.

Tomm Coker’s art made this purchase bearable. He uses some smart layouts and makes solid choices to convey the story. He captures a distinctive noir style with the effect augmented by Daniel Freedman’s coloring. Coker’s depictions of Foggy and the city’s aerial drawings were great.

Art can’t save a flawed concept and a below-average story. Daredevil’s self-titled series is one of my favorite comics. Read that for your DD fix.
