MARVEL KNIGHTS VOLUME TWO NUMBERS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE and SIX are out in a comic book shop near you. There is a nice article written by Mike Conroy about the MARVEL KNIGHTS relaunch in the March issue of COMICS INTERNATIONAL .
Here are excerpts from reviews we received recently.
"RECOMMENDED...Reading MARVEL KNIGHTS, I was reminded of nothing so much as LETHAL WEAPON, DIE HARD or FACE/OFF…While we are watching paramilitary troops attack churches in a religious frenzy, a twisted henchmen bending people into hideous shapes as a form of art or a pair of brothers who plastic surgery on whims, it's easy to accept the idea of Punisher and Daredevil working together without killing one another…Alberto Ponticelli matches the gritty street tone of Figueroa's with some fantastic visuals. The attack of the shockers the Grace's ground troops, against churches are amazing feats of fight choreography, and Daredevil's high-flying entrance was breathtaking…MARVEL KNIGHTS is less a super-hero team book and more of a crime/action movie on paper."
--RANDY LARDNER
THE FOURTH RAIL
“Fans who hoped for more ‘Marvel Knights’ feel in the first MARVEL KNIGHTS series will find just what they’re looking for in this reboot.”
--COMIC SHOP NEWS
“One of the week's Ten Best...I loved the first volume! It was like a Defenders’ comic book for a new age”
"One of the week's Ten Best...This series reads like a Punisher story plus!...the art is unbelievable!"
--THECOMICFANATIC.COM
“...a good job handling the characters' relations with one another, making this "non-team" into a workable idea. He seems to be positioning the Black Widow as something of an ideological middle ground between Daredevil and the Punisher. That's an astute characterization...Figueroa's three-way relationship between the characters leads to some interesting dialogue and interactions... Ponticelli's layouts are extremely distinctive.”
