VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Matthew Rosenberg (A) Ben Torres (CA) Jeff Dekal WILSON FISK BUILDS A BRAND-NEW EMPIRE! The KINGPIN has done bad things. Deplorable things. He has cheated the law. He has blackmailed rivals. He has killed. But that's all in the past. The Kingpin is back in the city that he loves and ready to make his mark as a titan of legitimate industry, but needs to rekindle his public image. When Wilson Fisk makes disgraced journalist SARAH DEWEY an offer she can't refuse, the spiraling saga of crime and betrayal begins anew. Don't miss the start of Kingpin's ongoing series, written by breakout writer MATTHEW ROSENBERG and illustrated in the heavy noir stylings of BEN TORRES, as Manhattan's criminal mastermind returns to the Big Apple with honorable intentions, but no one in his circle remains pure on his climb back to the top. Rated T+ Date Available: 02/08/2017
BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 I haven't been impressed with Daredevil's book post Secret Wars. I haven't loved Daredevil's book since Bendis. He knew his way around the Kingpin, and the tone of that relationship was pretty note perfect when their paths crossed, and absolutely perfect when they appeared separately. Marvel seems to have been paying attention to that. Taking inspiration from the DD Netflix series and his own Civil War II tie in book, Matthew Rosenberg has built a Wilson Fisk deep enough, interesting enough, to sustain his own title. It's the hardest thing to do with 'appearance' characters. His Fisk has blood on his hands and is looking to chronicle why that blood is there. His conduit to do this is a sports writer, one on the boxing beat (it is a Daredevil universe book), who is more fleshed out in one issue than Jessica Jones has been since her title started 4 months ago. Is he looking to reform? Is this all just a public pathway to conceal private misdeeds? No way to know just yet. There is a way to know that artist Ben Torres has some Greg Capullo and Eduardo Risso in his work, giving a gritty feel with lots of movement even when people are standing still. It was a pleasant surprise how awesome this book was. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
