All in all, Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil's Trigger achieves everything it sets out to accomplish. It improves on a classic story, which elevated Frank Castle at Matt Murdock's expense. However, it also offers an accessible twist on the same story, which is sure to appeal to both comic readers and casual readers who don't know the history. Read Full Review

The latest match-up between two of Marvel's most iconic vigilantes doesn't miss the mark. Palmiotti turns up the tension with the writing. Bianchi and Valenza present a brutally dark look at the world of street level heroics. The struggles for finding justice blazes into a new path. Read Full Review

All in all, I like what this issue says about the characters, as well as how it sets things up, and gives me a different view on my favorite Daredevil fight (the character is too OP in my opinion, so I love seeing him get trounced in a fight). Read Full Review

Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil's Trigger #1 revisits a key era in the titular duo's history, setting the stage for a story that attempts to recapture the energy of the original Marvel Knights imprint. Read Full Review

Daredevil / Punisher: The Devil's Trigger #1may not be spectacular, but it is a well-rounded return to the classic dilemma of morality that has defined the relationship between these two Marvel Knights for years now. Read Full Review

Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil's Trigger #1 is a solid albeit flawed buy if you care more about Daredevil wrestling with broken institutions than about actually spending time in Punisher's head, because the book commits to Matt's crisis and delivers a full narrative loop in one chapter. If you are hoping for a balanced co-lead drama or a truly surprising ethical puzzle, the one-sided execution, underdeveloped Punisher, and the strange "no one sees the guy hanging from the ceiling moment drag down the return on your time and money.

As this is the first issue for this miniseries, there's of course time for this story to come around. But Daredevil and The Punisher: Devil's Trigger #1 doesn't stand up on its own and only manages to be a watered-down retelling of a story that was better done elsewhere. Read Full Review

Hmm! It's not bad, but I'm not going to get too "wow! This is what I need", since Marvel isn't one to give you crumbs, but a complete, well-done meal. We have a plot entirely focused on Daredevil (nah, I never liked the character, because I was fascinated by Castle killing thugs Garth Ennis-style and causing a stir among the more sensitive), with Punisher as a supporting character. We have something that at least brings SOME hope of seeing a well-written police thriller from Palmiotti (who must have smoked a lot of crap to write that Marvel Knights atrocity related to World To Come). Yes, I loved seeing Castle aiming for the head of a scoundrel (which unfortunately happens today with people like Charlie Kirk), but he schemed everything, and from what it seems, it's part of his plan to pit one organized crime family against another, and let Murdock witness everything so he can see how things work beyond the defendants' gang. But what it implied is that Daredevil will interfere, and the two will clash and be captured, only to eventually join forces. In short, it's intriguing, but I sincerely hope they don't portray Castle as a defender of morality, because, after all, the only good criminal is a dead criminal! more
