Trouble is brewing in Hell’s Kitchen. New York’s worst gangs are locked in a fearsome battle, each faction desperate to fill the vacuum that Tombstone and Madame Masque left behind. Meanwhile, Elektra Natchios has a vacuum of her own to fill. With Matt Murdock gone, Elektra must don the Daredevil mantle and assume her role as the Woman Without Fear and the keeper of Hell’s Kitchen.Written by Erica Schultz, penciled by Sergio Dávila, inked by Sean Parsons, colored by Ceci De La Cruz, and lettered by VC’s Clayton Cowles, Daredevil: Gang War #1 continues the Spider-Man-centric Marvel Comics crossover event as gang lords overrun Hell’s Kitchen — not least of all Rafael Scarfe, leader of the Heat. He has something nasty planned — and a dangerous and mysterious new ally. Although she has allies in the Avengers, Daredevil is determined to honor Matt’s legacy and protect her new home solo. But is that such a good idea?This sets up the principal subtext for this issue — Daredevil must come to terms with working with a team once more, or in other words, fight gang tactics with so-called “gang” tactics with the latest ensemble of Avengers. Spider-Man is fittingly the voice of the group, the one who comes the closest to relating to, and reasoning with, Daredevil throughout this issue, urging her to come out of her shell and accept the help she needs. This isn’t to say that Elektra is incompetent in her new, self-imposed role as Hell’s Kitchen’s sole protector. On the contrary — she’s as competent as always and a thrill to watch. More so than any other Marvel hero, Daredevil has some of the most elegant fight choreography in the canon. Penciler artist Sergio Dávila demonstrates deft composition, befitting this lithe and agile character. In fact, throughout this issue, Dávila’s fight choreography sets Elektra’s Daredevil apart from Matt’s — highlighting her feminity, grace, and nimbleness, utilizing small weaponry instead of brute strength. These subtle visual cues make Elektra Daredevil her own character with a memorable approach beyond being a counterpart to Matt. Her tense combat with the mysterious and sinister new ninja-like enemy is a particular standout, as is her interrogation with the smug and oleaginous Owlsley.
