True Believers: The Criminally Insane - Bullseye #1 (re:view)

Welcome to another world of adventure with a comic for your dollar! The story follows Daredevil as he tackles down a mysterious villain named... Bullseye!

I last read the classic tales of Daredevil in the Mighty World of Marvel in the mid-2000s and actually read each text from panel to panel with such glee. This comic was just that reminder of why I loved reading Daredevil.

The art of Daredevil's movements with that alone offers pure joy to watch him swoosh with his kick and flicks. This becomes more pronounced when he uses his environment to his aid. One scene in particular pretty much defines it for me where he uses a car to his advantage in kicking out the goon out of it. This is in contrast to Bullseye who employs more of a dramatic flair which might explain it as it comes to the final full-page panel.

It's interestingly enough my first time seeing him have a hood which actually does get caught up in the crowd. Cue the Edna Mode's no - uh - hoods!

There's so much going on in this comic with the main story, side story, back story and all kinds of story getting up in that grind. The main story I find becomes deterred slightly by the side story which almost becomes a side thought rather than an afterthought as it was such a brief moment that with one blink you'd miss it. The back story though is beautifully illustrated of how Bullseye comes about which serve to elevate the story even with so much going on in one issue.

Subscribe? Ja!

There's a lot to take away from this issue and it's left on a deafening (excuse the pun) cliffhanger!
