IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WILSON FISK, THINK AGAIN! WILSON FISK's criminal past has tarnished his public image, but to move beyond it, Fisk must face the demons of his past… and convince the world he's changed! Writer SARAH DEWEY has conflicted feelings about helping him turn over this new leaf… but is Fisk's promise of complete transparency and a big (legal) pay day too good for Sarah to pass up? This is the Kingpin in all his brutal honesty… the man, the murderer, the criminal… and the good Samaritan?!

BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy


Kingpin #2 continues the character driven push to make our avatar (Sarah Dewey) understand that there are multiple sides to the white sphere that is Wilson Fisk. If she does, we will, I suppose. The big question for me would be 'How much B.S. will you put up with to get the benefits the bull is providing?'. Here, Kingpin's philanthropic pursuits are legit, and legitimately manipulative at the same time. There's a feeling that almost any verbal disagreement in the book is going to leave a body some short time after. Would you put up with that if endorsing it got your kids back?

That's a pretty big question. If its one you don't have an easy answer to, you'll probably like this book. We'll see what Daredevil's take is next issue. I bet he can't even see where the quandary is.


I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams
