After five albums and various propaganda, the overall effect is disappointing. The awkwardness of the villain makes people doubt how the hand-to-hand association can survive for hundreds of thousands of years. From beginning to end, I only feel that five super idiots are performing super powers. The lower limit of the IQ of the readers, I can't feel how threat they are, what kind of crisis New York is encountering (and Iron Fist also jumped down, which is more stupid and mentally retarded.)
The motives, intentions and status of Erica's actions since killing Alexandra are unknown. The Black Sky? Elektra Natchios? In the end, the sadomasochism with Matt may be very touching, but it is still full of question marks for what she did and why she did so.
However, the most fascinating part of the whole play is the sparks and interactions created by the four people. The different styles, personalities and ideas make the process from contact to cooperation quite interesting. Luke Cage really exudes the radiance of mother's love to the other three.
Overall, it may be considered passing, but it is much worse than Jessica Jones and Daredevil.
