mostly enjoying this run... but the whole thing with the twin brother just annoys me for some reason

Very, very pleased by all of Zdarsky’s choices in this line. His control of narrative arcs and his inclusion of Marvel stories from history past is so good.

I really loved the scenes where Spidey and Daredevil talked. Watching as Matt learns to reach out instead of holding so much weight on himself is satisfying. He has grown a lot through this!

I didn't care for the Annual issue that interrupts this arc and informs the reader that Matt has an identical twin - apparently because he made one up to protect his identity previously and then a reality changing event/action caused him to come into existence, but he's not too clear on his own past. Also, the company-wide Knull Event (symbiote god baddie invading earth, destroying or taking over the bodies of supes and muggles alike. I always hate when an author is just crushing it with a long story arc and then gets forced to focus on something happening across all titles. This one isn't as bad as most so far though, so I'm keeping my rating as 4 stars.

Incredible. Zdarsky’s run may end up being in the top 3 runs on Marvel’s most consistently written character. Zdarsky proves again that he should be writing Spider-Man in this trade.

Yo! Elektra Daredevil let's go!

With Hell's Kitchen safe but in ruins, Daredevil struggles with his worst enemy - his guilt over accidentally killed a man. Can Daredevil put this enemy to rest before it eats him alive?

In the aftermath of the last volume, Daredevil is wondering what to do next and ultimately decides it's time to get his comeuppance. It's not often that super heroes have to face the consequences of their actions so this ventures into relatively unexplored territory.

Marco Checchetto continues to tear it up on art, his Daredevil a combination ninja/boxer/super hero. Franceso Mobili and Mike Hawthorne each contribute an issue but their artwork isn't so dissimilar from Checchetto's to be disruptive.

Zdarsky planted a lot of seeds that ultimately bore fruit in this one. Daredevil and Spidey have their come to Jesus meeting, Wilson Fisk and Typhoid Mary have new roles, and Elektra is up to something else all together.

The ending was already spoiler for me but it is a fitting result of Zdarsky's run leading up to this moment. I thought Zdarsky was done tearing down and building Daredevil back up but it seems he's adding additional rooms on to the house.

In the years to come, Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil run will be one of the runs people talk about alongside Frank Miller's. Five out of five stars.

After the battle of Hell's Kitchen, Matt Murdock is finally finding his way back to himself, back to an understanding of who Daredevil is and is meant to be. But crime families and power players still have designs for the city and the consequences of Daredevil's actions are still to be reckoned with. While everyone pursues their own agendas, and Matt struggles to navigate the tricky line between hero and vigilante, bigger threats continue to take shape just out of sight. And even with the best intentions, sometimes plans just fall apart.

While relevant, the Annual 1 issue feels like a bit of an odd side journey in the midst of an otherwise strong volume. The art delivers the story to great effect, and Zdarsky's writing continues charging headlong into the complexity of Daredevil's character and role in the city he calls home. Delivering bold action as well as some beautifully heartfelt moments, Daredevil is a series that continues to surprise and impress, right down to the bold twists of the final issue.
