I'd have to agree. Admittedly, while I have been enjoying it more since the Mayor Fisk arc, it still just seems incredibly...unremarkable compared to my favorite runs by the likes of Miller, Bendis, and Brubaker. Miller obviously broke new ground blurring the lines between superhero and crime book, Bendis did the unthinkable while at the same time making the world of DD actually palpable, and Brubaker just put him through the ringer. To lesser extents I've also enjoyed Nocenti's run and Chichester's Fall of the Kingpin arc. Nocenti's run was my first real introduction to the character and what Chichester did with the Kingpin was just something I had never seen done with the character before. And while I really wasn't the biggest fan of Waid's run (despite loving his takes on Flash, Superman, and Cap), it did have an identity all it's own and I see where he was going with it.
IDK, something about Soule's run (despite my greater enjoyment of more recent issues) just seems really by the numbers to me. I just don't feel much of an emotional punch the way I did with some of those previous writers and I honestly just feel less engaged and invested in the characters. Maybe if they would've concentrated on Purple Man more considering his hand in re-secreting his secret id and used Fisk elsewhere? In DD, while rightfully intimidating, he really doesn't come off as much more than a generic crimelord.
