That would have at least limited the scope of the insanity. The Daredevil costume is the established symbol of who Daredevil is, and this is true regardless of whether people know who is behind the mask. Why this would lead to the decision to wear the same costume in court as he does fighting out on the streets escapes my comprehension. Last time I checked, Matt had respect for the courts and his chosen career. His actions here are completely out of character. Kirsten has the unenviable job of playing it straight this issue and voicing the concerns that many of us have. This clearly means that Waid and Samnee are, on some level, admitting that this is absurd. When Matt assumes the role as Daredevil it is no that he should choose to dress for the occasion than that a police officer wears a uniform while on patrol. Interesting things happen in this issue, a new villain or is she? Mark Waid and Chris Samnee have only a few more issues to go, and I can probably live this down and still rank this run among my very favorite of all time. Matt is back in New York, Kirsten is back in the picture, and they are both looking to get back at the and the Sons. Do not follow. Mark Waid said a lot of interesting things in the video interview he did with Blastoff Comics, but one thing really made me sit up and. Spoilers for both items mentioned in the title coming right up! Hello all! I suspect Mr. Waid himself will revert this. To be sincere, I have liked the issue. I had no problem with Matt doing this stunt. If only that, someone so unpopular at school could be willing to compensate. The art was gorgeus. That fight scene with was outstanding. Oh, I fully expect Matt to be back in the original costume by the end of next issue or the one after that. My issue with all this is how he ends up in the costume, and why. Mission accomplished. In spades. Going by the solicits, for the next couple of issues:. As an old foe makes a surprising return, Daredevil must make harder choices. But is he going off the deep end? Now, I want to be clear. The suit is awful. To the point where if I were into cosplay, you would see me cosplaying as Mike Murdock before you saw me cosplay in the new outfit. But if we look at it from the standpoint of someone who, way back in Vol 3 22, told Foggy that he wanted secrecy to stop being his default setting… someone who spent years hiding part of himself in plain view and then he goes full disclosure on Daredevil and discovers that the world is still turning. He tells Kirsten how he feels about her. The sun still rises. The things that made the Man all too aware that his tagline was a bit hyperbolic have happened in short order and… his life has actually been pretty darn okay. Of course. Because as silly and stupid as that time was, there was that part of Matt that liked cutting loose and indulging his inner showman. The problem? Mike never existed until Matt invented him. When things got out of hand, Matt killed him off and went back to living a double life instead of a triple one. And I think that precisely because for him, anyway! Yes, I hate the look. This was far from my favorite issue. Both this and the last issue, which I hated as much as you seemed to dislike this one, are paced horribly. Did this story end? Nope, it just stopped. I may go read Daredevil: Father to cheer myself up. Is it too late to get Andy Diggle back on the book for 2? I thought the tell-all book was the most out of character thing anyone had ever had Matt Murdock do, but I guess Waid had to top himself. This was almost inevitable. And I said this on Facebook and you touched on it in your review, but I feel terrible for anyone who decides to check out the Daredevil comic for the first time now or in the coming month s. Waid and Co. This team has created a lot of personal goodwill, and I have defended almost all of their decisions. I think that most of the criticism leveled at the book has frankly been baseless, unfair and exaggerated nonsense — I still do. Okay, so… to be absolutely honest, for the first few moments I kept thinking that I was turning pages of a comic. About the current run. So, when I heard that the storytellers are going to put him on center, I had a sense of foreboding, but I kept it to myself. But now that the volume is coming to an end…I realize my fear has come true. Regarding the autobiography angle; I am going to be blunt and say that I simply do not care for that plot point at all. Is it even a plot point? Ever since the issue of writing the book was brought onboard, any pages dealing with the subject felt like filler material to me. Like, really bad. On that note, how many issues do Waid-Samnee have got left anyway? Will it be enough to put a satisfactory end to their run? Are they being forced to abandon the book because of the Secret Wars read Reboot? Reboots are what made me drop DC titles. Looking forward to the penultimate issue, with less expectation, for reasons stated above. Also not a huge fan of this issue. That being said, Samnee did an absolutely fantastic thing and drew in two of his biggest fans as the women who picked up Daredevil and drove him back into town. Daredevil has never looked so good. With other creative teams, Daredevil has looked ugly. As a long time reader, I always complained to myself that Daredevil was always getting the B-list pencillers despite its great plots, while the famous artist were pencilling crappy plots somewhere else. The same goes for the last story of Dark Nights. The whole Reborn plot was a cliche and featured a very convenient villain as a plot device. You may even read the script alone or look at the images without text. The art felt rushed and the plot was a cliche…. Oh absolutely. If I were reviewing this for a general comic book news site, I would be writing a very different review. The art is fantastic. For these reasons, I actually gave it two stars at manwithoutfear. As a Daredevil story, it kind of broke my heart. Although Matt isn't affected, he waits until everyone else snaps out of Killgrave's control, then follows him in his guise of Daredevil. Killgrave orders bystanders to attack Daredevil, forcing him to retreat. Killgrave amasses a small army of strong men from a local gym and takes over the Ritz Plaza hotel. Meanwhile, Daredevil prepares his miniature tape recorder and other gadgets built into his billy club. Later, Daredevil chases Killgrave up to the hotel roof, where the Purple Man orders Karen to stand on the ledge of the building and forces Daredevil to comply by holding him at gunpoint. Killgrave explains how he got his uncanny powers. While spying on a lab for a communist country, he was accidentally doused with a chemical. When he was caught by the plant guards, he found that he was able to bend their will, and soon decided it would be best to become a criminal. Daredevil jumps off the side of the building with Karen and swings her to safety, then returns to fight Killgrave. He subdues the villain with the special cape that he built into his billy club to retard his abilities. He then turns the Purple Man over to the police with a tape of Killgrave's confessions.

Although this era of Daredevil is known as the one where Mark Waid lightened the character up, this one has some genuinely dark and disturbing stuff in it. The odd things happening to Matt are weird and unsettling, and the final revelations as to what has been going on has some ideas and images that are freaky and fairly gross. Apr 27, Dan Schwent rated it really liked it Shelves: comics , comics , , marvel-unlimited. Pretty cool stuff and another example of how Matt is part of the greater , no longer exiled to its gritty shithole corner. Although it feels like he might be heading back to the feces-smeared area pretty soon with what Foggy fond in his desk drawer. Michael Allred drawing Daredevil is pretty fucking sw 16 - shrinks down to microscopic size to take out the robots in Daredevil's brain! Michael Allred drawing Daredevil is pretty fucking sweet and this tale is perfectly suited to his retro-style. Matt getting to see his dad using virtual reality was pretty cool. I was in the dark about Matt's ex-wife but her being in his apartment and not the asylum seemed like a big deal. Someone powerful continues to mess with Matt's life. I'm guessing this is the next big story now that the Omega Drive storyline is over. He sure knows who's responsible by the end of the issue. I can't express my newfound admiration for Mark Waid on this title. Also, Chris Samnee's art is really growing on me now that he's the regular artist. Meanwhile, Kirsten spills her guts on what she thinks is Daredevil's insanity This one had some crazy imagery in it. Waid has certainly dialed up the weirdness. Foggy and Matt try to patch things up. And Kirsten goes to someone for help with Daredevil. Waid and Samnee continue to tick all the right boxes for me. I thought the last issue had some crazy images but The Spot vs. Coyote had some Ditko-level craziness to it. I would not want to be Daredevil when the Superior Spider-Man shows up to settle his hash. Closing Thoughts: Waid and Samnee are the team to beat on Daredevil. I'm not ready to say it's -good just yet but it's definitely heading in that direction. Sep 20, Anne rated it liked it Shelves: comics , graphic- novels , read-in Maybe I'm overdosing on Daredevil? I just wasn't in love with this volume, for some reason. It's not bad, just Matt has been rescued from , and Pym goes inside his brain to shoot all the mini- or something in his noggin. He succeeds, but somehow their memories get mind-melded together, and now they have a better understanding of each other. So sweet. I stole that from Sam, by the way Just when Matt thinks his troubles are over, Foggy finds some 'evidence' in one of Matt's desk drawers that leads him to believe that Murdock has taken a trip to Lunatic Land. And, naturally , he tosses Matt out on his ear, cuts all ties with him, and sells him out to Kristen. Honestly, that made no sense to me. I can't imagine Foggy doing what he did Not buying it. Overall, this was a decent story, and I'll keep trying on more Daredevil titles in the future. Get this review and more at View all 5 comments. Dec 17, Sesana rated it liked it Shelves: comics , superhumans. Hit and miss. On one hand, there's a great flashback issue drawn by Allred! It's a beautiful issue, in every way. On the other hand, the aftermath, physical and emotional, of DD's time in Latveria felt like it was brushed to the side rather quickly. Yes, the imagery and concepts towards the end of Coyote's story are chilling. But Foggy completely and entirely washing his hands of Mat Hit and miss. But Foggy completely and entirely washing his hands of Matt and deciding that he was so insane that he need involuntary commitment Wow, that kind of came out of nowhere. Yes, I'll give him that he should maybe be concerned. But he went from normal levels of concern to outright paranoia almost instantly. He knows so much about Matt, why is he deciding this now, on such flimsy evidence? There would have to be more for me to understand this, but I'm not sure that there is. I guess I'll see how it all plays out. Dec 09, Sam Quixote rated it liked it. The second issue is definitely my favourite, partly because Mike Allred illustrated it and his work is sooooooo good! A guy on stilts — brilliantly named Stilt-Man! The issue has a really sweet moment as Matt is given his sight back temporarily for 30 minutes and he watches what was on the tape. It seemed a bit over the top and unconvincing. View all 3 comments. Dec 02, Gavin rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. Goodreads ate my review! Pym goes microscopic and destroys all the Doom-nano-bots in Matt's brain 2nd micro brain surgery in as many days from Marvel! There's a touching moment that made me all verklempt, between Matt and Hank, as the brain surgery kinda crossed signals, and each experienced some of the others' memories. It brought a wee tear to the eye, and yes, I fall for that shit when it is done right. BRavo Mr. The biggest theme of the book however, is that Foggy has given up on Matt altogether, and thinks he's gone insane again I suppose. There are things that make it seem so to the point Matt starts to wonder, but then he comes across a new villain manipulating things to make it seem that way. I felt so bad for Matt, having already gone through so much, to have his best friend turn on him There's a flashback issue, where we get more touching moments from Matt, getting a chance to see something, and well, the choice is perfect. Thats 2 for Mr. Waid now. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but is Hank's appearance in Vol. Or am I just not seeing him elsewhere? I kinda like him here, he's far more relatable as he is now. The villain does some dastardly shit to DD and a lot of other folks, but DD uses his extra abilities in a brilliant manner to get out of that trap, and then goes on to free all the others. However, the bad guy gets away, but not off free, as another victim of his spots him There's more heartbreak as Matt's insane ex-wife shows up ever so briefly, and we're reminded how much hurt there must be, as we see a whole drawer full of letters he's written to her, never delivered because she's a drooling wreck in a padded cell. That would be a good concept for a book The last frames of the Volume have Matt's new lady-friend asking for some help checking on him, because Foggy has told her that he thinks Matt is insane and a danger The art here by Chris Samnee and Michael Allred is super. I love the classic retro 70s dayglo feel to it similar to Aja and Fraction's Hawkeye, but still it's own thing and feel. Daredevil always fit best in 70s era Hell's Kitchen New York when it was at it's worst, so having him show up in modern looking stuff kinda doesn't always sit right with me if not done well. That being said, this art suits Mark Waid's story telling ideally. I can relax and feel like I'm almost in a familiar place while I read. He subdues the villain with the special cape that he built into his billy club to retard his abilities. He then turns the Purple Man over to the police with a tape of Killgrave's confessions.

I have loved almost all of it, will continue to love almost all of it for years to come. If and when I run into these guys at some convention in the future, I look forward to a great chat about how amazing this run has been. None of that has changed. This review is about this particular issue. And that will be fine. First of all, I most certainly hope something will happen that makes all of this magically better. There are many things in this issue that need to be explained and addressed, and I expect that to happen. But the wait and see approach can only get you so far. I think every issue also needs to stand on its own. If Daredevil 14 is meant to mark the beginning of some kind of mental breakdown it might , then there should be some foreshadowing to that effect. Daredevil 14 featured a character who looked like Matt Murdock. Sort of. When he shows up again, I will welcome him back with open arms. I actually have no issues sitting out the rest of this run if it fails to move me. What Waid and Samnee has done with this character up to this point is more than enough, and I will be forever grateful for that. Daredevil, Volume 4: The Autobiography of Matt Murdock by Mark Waid

The fight from before in Volume 5 of Waid's run was far better. Howe And so comes the end of Waid's run. However let's talk the good. There were plenty of great "moments". I loved seeing a whole wall dedicated to Matt's death. I also love that moment at the dinner table. Nerve wracking to say the least. Also the ending with Foggy giving his big speech to Matt, perfect. Overall some wonderful moments and the art is still great. So thanks Waid for a very solid second half. Yes, it was bumpy, and not as good as Ed or Bendis but still very strong. I give the whole run around a 3 or even a 3. On to Soule next! Mar 21, Shannon Appelcline rated it really liked it Shelves: comics , comics-marvel. Flashback Finale Waid's finale brings together all of the elements of his third and final Daredevil arc and ups the stakes by bringing the in too. It could have been a triumphant finale. Unfortunately, it's really not earned, given the unfocused attention to plot in this San Francisco arc. So, this is a good enough story, but without the resonant weight it should have had. It's also obviously rushed with some elements, like the false-ac Flashback Mar 27, Sarah rated it it was amazing Shelves: graphic-novels. Mark Waid's run on Daredevil was phenomenal and near perfect. I wasn't sure how he'd manage to wrap up the cliffhanger from the last book, but he did it beautifully, and I was even a little choked up as I finished. So much love for Foggy in this! I feel like I need to go re-read from beginning to end on this. Feb 28, Amy Lawrence rated it liked it Shelves: comics. Definitely a good place to stop, this series was beginning to drag on a bit! Apr 30, Jodie rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novel. Aug 30, FortressOfBookitude rated it it was ok. Oh the cringe! A capable conclusion to Mark Waid's epic run on Marvel's most morally complex character. It could have done with two or three more issues to really make it connect, as it felt like the creative team was sprinting to the end in these final four issues, but overall, longtime fans are given enough to feel satisfied. Waid also finished the story in a way so that the next creative team is basically free to do as they wish with DD. Going deeper, I was expecting more from Matt and Kingpin's story here. Given their history, and the tremendous setup at the end of volume 3 of this series, it would be fitting to have Kingpin and Matt go through a longer crucible together. Perhaps time was an issue, so it's hard to truly judge. Based on what's presented here, it's solid but unspectacular. I'm looking forward to seeing where Matt Murdock goes next. Sep 29, Will Robinson Jr. You really have to read all the previous volumes to appreciate Mark Waid's and Chris Samnee's run with the man without fear. This the swan song on probably one of the best comics being publish by Marvel. Mark Waid just really knows how to tell a great story. I also enjoy Samnee's retro but unique style of drawing. It really fits the noir style of storytelling featured in this book.

So Matt Murdock after outing himself to the public to protect his family and closest friends finds himself ready to publish his autobiography about his life. This volume picks up where the last volume ended perfectly. The stakes have been risen and now Matt must come face to face with his arch nemesis the Kingpin Wilson Fisk. The dialogue is perfect and the pacing really creates some tense moments. Fans of the Daredevil character must read this whole series. Dec 21, Rachel rated it liked it Shelves: stars. Normally I don't leave comments, but I'm a huge Daredevil fan and I have to say This book got lucky in getting three stars. It somewhat redeemed itself from a terrible start. I hate the SF storyline, and the new ridiculously phony, happy, look-at-me Matt, and the whole thing with writing his autobiography. It started out with the autobiography, which was horrible, and then went on later to the real story with the and Fisk. This is where it redeemed itself, because we actually get our r Normally I don't leave comments, but I'm a huge Daredevil fan and I have to say This is where it redeemed itself, because we actually get our real, original Daredevil back. I love the first series of Daredevil that Mark Waid did. That one is excellent. This one in SF? And this last volume was the worst of them all. It turned out okay in the end though.

Concluding Waid's run - which, crazily, was apparently the longest unbroken one the title's ever had - with the now fully unmasked Matt Murdock prepared to make a deal with the devil in the wake of a Wikileaks-style revelation of far more than just his secret identity. The character work is all great, even if that inevitably means several infuriatingly dumb decisions from Matt, and the series ends on a real note of catharsis.

Yes, I know corporate comics will always suffer from a degree of perpetual reset, but sometimes it's especially galling. Feb 03, Dale Kulas rated it really liked it. Really good final volume of Daredevil by Mark Waid. This trade focuses on his rivalry with Ikari and Kingpin, and it plays out in an entertaining way with a unique proposal from Matt, but only to have Kingpin counter with his own lethal ultimatum. This was probably my favorite of the four trades in this run of Daredevil, and it is too bad it is the last because Waid went to work on another book afterwards and Daredevil got rebooted yet again. Mar 08, Jennifer rated it really liked it Shelves: comics-manga-graphic-novels , superhero. I liked this, but it was mostly a 3-star arc, but I bumped it up one star for the sappy bits at the end. Hey, Daredevil kind of won, which might be one of the few times you'll ever see that. This was a solid end to a great run by Waid and Samnee. Dec 21, Laura I. Sad this run is over, but it feels like the right time for it to wrap up def lost some steam and some fans moving to SF, although personally I kinda liked the change of locale if not all the storylines , and a perfect note to end on -- almost a happy ending, even!

As a big fan of Matt and Foggy's friendship, I really liked the ending, and the journey to that point was good as well, although not quite as good as I was hoping.

Mostly, I felt like Fisk wasn't used quite as well as he could have been, at least not after the opening scene, which was a little disappointing since I was rather looking forward to watching Daredevil and Kingpin face off yet again. That being said, I was satisfied with the way this volume wrapped things up and set the stage for someone else to take the reins writing these characters. This last volume of the Marvel Now! Mark Waid run for Daredevil felt a little short with a wrap-up of several plots that felt a little rushed. I mean seriously, throwing in the Kingpin in San Francisco at the last moment felt a little left field, but it at least made for great character scenes. But beyond the brevity, this did make for an interesting end to the story arc and one that gave us great fights, great Kingpin monologues, and even some well-time legal puns to boot. It's not a perfect end This last volume of the Marvel Now! It's not a perfect ending but it's a solid landing at least for a most unusual move to take Daredevil out of New York. Mar 13, Wayne rated it liked it. I loved Mark Waid's run on Daredevil, right up to this final volume. The last couple issues tried to wrap everything up nicely, but I found the storyline going in a pretty bizarre direction. Sep 18, Kathleen rated it liked it Shelves: fiction , comics , read-in Matt's decision to come out from behind the mask leaves him more vulnerable than ever, especially when he confronts Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin whose power comes from his criminal dealings in the shadows. This trade concludes the saga of Matt going public with his autobiography, the Shroud's reunion with his ex-girlfriend, and Foggy's health crisis. Waid's run on this title is some of the best Daredevil I've ever read. I highly recommend it. Waid takes Matt to places I don't know how he comes back from and there are some lingering questions about the ending. The book was still good, I just expected something more epic. The art by Chris Samnee is, as usual, remarkable. Overall, on its own, a fine read but there is a lot weighing on this. Jul 10, Villain E rated it really liked it Shelves: superheroes , comics.

If and when I run into these guys at some convention in the future, I look forward to a great chat about how amazing this run has been. None of that has changed. This review is about this particular issue. And that will be fine. First of all, I most certainly hope something will happen that makes all of this magically better. There are many things in this issue that need to be explained and addressed, and I expect that to happen. But the wait and see approach can only get you so far. I think every issue also needs to stand on its own. If Daredevil 14 is meant to mark the beginning of some kind of mental breakdown it might , then there should be some foreshadowing to that effect. Daredevil 14 featured a character who looked like Matt Murdock. Sort of. When he shows up again, I will welcome him back with open arms. I actually have no issues sitting out the rest of this run if it fails to move me. What Waid and Samnee has done with this character up to this point is more than enough, and I will be forever grateful for that. The scene at the drive in showed how advantageous the more open get up can be to a superhero and fun to read about for a reader. The recent series showed putting a traditionally costumed superhero into a pulp-esque suit can work really well. The problem for all this comes in the trial scenes where Matt makes a mockery of everything he loves and successfully undercuts, undermines, and ruins what is good about the suit. I also found many elements of this issue confusing. The idea of being true to ones self while exploring reinvention is an acceptable theme, but the outfit as a vehicle to do that is an odd choice. There has always been a sense of hiding, almost shame in the sunglasses. So to ask the obvious questions:. Why the hair cut? In what way is a tailored suite good crime fighting gear for a dude who relies on athletic skill? If your outfit pulls double duty, how do you keep it clean? We have it. It was good. Show me something new. People have been talking about not recognizing Matt Murdock in this issue. I have nothing against the outlandish or the humorous or the sci-fi elements. But in that scenario I always imagined Matt and Foggy acting, speaking, and thinking like Matt and Foggy. Okay fine, but why have Kirsten and Foggy been cheerleading the process all this time? Everyone is alternating between being the clown in the scene or the butt of the joke. This was just par for the course. And yes this will all be undone, probably very soon, and those that want to can forget this ever happened. I miss NYC. I miss the scum of the earth taking a beating in some dark alley. DD save us!

Daredevil Vol. 4 # - 18 + TPB Vol. 1 - 4 () – GetComics Honestly, that made no sense to me. I can't imagine Foggy doing what he did Not buying it. Overall, this was a decent story, and I'll keep trying on more Daredevil titles in the future. Get this review and more at View all 5 comments. Dec 17, Sesana rated it liked it Shelves: comics , superhumans. Hit and miss. On one hand, there's a great flashback issue drawn by Allred! It's a beautiful issue, in every way. On the other hand, the aftermath, physical and emotional, of DD's time in Latveria felt like it was brushed to the side rather quickly. Yes, the imagery and concepts towards the end of Coyote's story are chilling. But Foggy completely and entirely washing his hands of Mat Hit and miss. But Foggy completely and entirely washing his hands of Matt and deciding that he was so insane that he need involuntary commitment Wow, that kind of came out of nowhere. Yes, I'll give him that he should maybe be concerned. But he went from normal levels of concern to outright paranoia almost instantly. He knows so much about Matt, why is he deciding this now, on such flimsy evidence? There would have to be more for me to understand this, but I'm not sure that there is. I guess I'll see how it all plays out. Dec 09, Sam Quixote rated it liked it. The second issue is definitely my favourite, partly because Mike Allred illustrated it and his work is sooooooo good! A guy on stilts — brilliantly named Stilt-Man! The issue has a really sweet moment as Matt is given his sight back temporarily for 30 minutes and he watches what was on the tape. It seemed a bit over the top and unconvincing. View all 3 comments. Dec 02, Gavin rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. Goodreads ate my review! Pym goes microscopic and destroys all the Doom-nano-bots in Matt's brain 2nd micro brain surgery in as many days from Marvel! There's a touching moment that made me all verklempt, between Matt and Hank, as the brain surgery kinda crossed signals, and each experienced some of the others' memories. It brought a wee tear to the eye, and yes, I fall for that shit when it is done right. BRavo Mr. The biggest theme of the book however, is that Foggy has given up on Matt altogether, and thinks he's gone insane again I suppose. There are things that make it seem so to the point Matt starts to wonder, but then he comes across a new villain manipulating things to make it seem that way. I felt so bad for Matt, having already gone through so much, to have his best friend turn on him There's a flashback issue, where we get more touching moments from Matt, getting a chance to see something, and well, the choice is perfect. Thats 2 for Mr. Waid now. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but is Hank's appearance in Vol. Or am I just not seeing him elsewhere? I kinda like him here, he's far more relatable as he is now. The villain does some dastardly shit to DD and a lot of other folks, but DD uses his extra abilities in a brilliant manner to get out of that trap, and then goes on to free all the others. However, the bad guy gets away, but not off free, as another victim of his spots him There's more heartbreak as Matt's insane ex-wife shows up ever so briefly, and we're reminded how much hurt there must be, as we see a whole drawer full of letters he's written to her, never delivered because she's a drooling wreck in a padded cell. That would be a good concept for a book The last frames of the Volume have Matt's new lady- friend asking for some help checking on him, because Foggy has told her that he thinks Matt is insane and a danger The art here by Chris Samnee and Michael Allred is super. I love the classic retro 70s dayglo feel to it similar to Aja and Fraction's Hawkeye, but still it's own thing and feel. Daredevil always fit best in 70s era Hell's Kitchen New York when it was at it's worst, so having him show up in modern looking stuff kinda doesn't always sit right with me if not done well. That being said, this art suits Mark Waid's story telling ideally. I can relax and feel like I'm almost in a familiar place while I read. Strongly recommended, this volume is about 3.

DD's escape from Doom's sensory attack seemed incidental, not very weighty for what should've been a monumental threat to Matt's existence. Odd take to flash back to, but poetically it's pretty. It seems like an excuse to have a character moment, which is fine - Waid gets to know his characters like no one I'v DD's escape from Doom's sensory attack seemed incidental, not very weighty for what should've been a monumental threat to Matt's existence. It seems like an excuse to have a character moment, which is fine - Waid gets to know his characters like no one I've seen - but it feels like a filler issue for some reason. After Allred, Waid starts to really dig in with a weird and provoking twist: just as Matt's getting cozy with his new flame, an old flame reappears and throws a complete monkey wrench into his life - further threatening his near-dead relationship with Foggy, which is the most painful part of this whole book. The best friend who doubts you completely is horrible - a wrenching loss of the one person you're supposed to be able to count on to trust you, understand you, make excuses for odd behaviour, even to help bury the bodies. In this struggle of Matt's, I can really feel the weight of the loss and strain on his psyche - great writing that more than makes up for the stuff I just flipped through to get to this. Just when I thought these guys had lost their touch - just when I started to really underestimate them The emotional gut punch speed bag treatment? There's a note of tragedy through this that only comes from a creative team that really understand what it must be like to occupy the skin and the angst of Matthew Murdock. Waid really knows how to weave a good, fresh story that tugs on some of the major threads of the last decade, and does it in a way that feels natural, not forced or convenient for one story and then just a scene ineptly dropped out of sight once more. You know how on a good, long-running TV show you start to notice which episodes are written by the writers who actually know the characters' histories, and which are just churned on their obvious traits? I'm stuck for a good example but I think you know what I mean. Well this feels like the best kind of writing that honours the character's life. And check out who's going to get pulled into the next story arc! Five stars for where this ended up, even though I sound a little whiny about how it started out. View all 4 comments.

With his sanity slowly unraveling, can Matt keep it together and protect the citizens of New York as Daredevil or will a new threat in the form of the dangerous villain Coyote bring down The Man Without Fear? While not as strong as the previous volume, volume four still has its positives. Waid introduces a dark new villain by the name of Coyote who is in the midst of a pretty heinous crime when discovered by Darede Following a shocking discovery by Foggy, Matt Murdock finds himself without a job. Waid introduces a dark new villain by the name of Coyote who is in the midst of a pretty heinous crime when discovered by Daredevil. What I really liked was Mark playing on the questionable mental state of Murdock. But how can you blame Foggy? Sure, it would have been a lot easier for Waid to hit the reset button when he began his run with the character but you wouldn't have the excellent inner-struggle on the part of Murdock. I've always had an appreciation for Daredevil but I've recently become somewhat of a fan. Feb 11, Joseph rated it liked it Shelves: comics- graphic-novels. This DD volume has elements of a great story. The emergence of the Coyote, who is using The Spot's powers to mess with DD's world, is very engaging. The flashback scene drawn by Mike Allred is pretty great, also, and has a nice emotional touch to it. Chris Samnee's I always want to say Samwise Gamgee art is fantastic and I love the "cruder" touch he brings to his art. Unfortunately, the whole mess with Foggy acting like a dick was just poorly executed. The whole thing escalated too quickly, it This DD volume has elements of a great story. The whole thing escalated too quickly, it seems forced, and completely out of character, based on what he has known about DD over the years. It was a huge turn off, to be honest. Waid really missed the target on this one, and it's too bad, as this was pretty great otherwise. Jul 03, James DeSantis rated it liked it. A solid, if not kind of forgettable volume. We get a issue with hardly any Daredevil, mostly some , including Antman, trying to fix our hero. I just didn't find this all that interesting, same sadly with the next issue which is a flashback of stiltman I always love drama in the Daredevil universe cause it feels real. The fight between Matt and Foggy hits home for me and breaks my heart yet I love it because it feels so goddamn real and scary and that's a plus. I also A solid, if not kind of forgettable volume. I also liked the villain in this one, the ending was interesting and kind of fun but it didn't feel too menacing. Like we knew Matt would be fun, but still a decent fight. Overall I can't recall much from this volume. Nothing horrible, some great moments, but the rest is just okay. Mar 19, Scott rated it liked it. Mar 23, Aaron rated it it was amazing. Waid's run on Daredevil is starting to feel legendary. He has such a fresh take on the hero, and it shows through in every scene. He's working with a broken man, but in a way that isn't depressing. He's doing outlandish superhero stuff and making it so fun that you easily suspend your disbelief. Not only that, but he's taking seemingly small, almost forgettable elements of stories from the beginning of his run and suddenly fleshing them out into full-blown conspiracies. I'm a usually strict Frank Waid's run on Daredevil is starting to feel legendary. I hope he writes this book for several more years, because I don't see it getting old anytime soon. Jul 18, Peter Derk rated it liked it. I know I'm a bad comic book fan, but I'm weak when it comes to following artists. I just I don't know. I feel like some artists are perfect for some books and not for others. And I do feel like artists have a little less flex when it comes to doing projects with vastly different tones that their writer counterparts. That said, love me some Mike Allred. After looking into Mike Allred for some reason, thought I'd share some fun facts. Mike Allred is Mormon. He started an adaptation of the Bo I know I'm a bad comic book fan, but I'm weak when it comes to following artists. Not one who abandoned the faith early in life. Mike Allred is probably the most reasonable Mormon ever, of all time. Anyone can argue the truth of anything and be unswayable, given the strength of their convictions or degree of stubbornness. Beyond that, the Book of Mormon is fascinating on any level, fact or fiction. If true, we know that God exists, there is life after death, and life has an eternal meaning. Weird, huh? Because Mike Allred is color blind, his wife does the coloring for him. Pretty great artistic duo. Finding this out simultaneously brought a tear to my eye and made me gag. Which is my normal reaction to a situation involving love. Mar 15, Jackie rated it really liked it. Scowling is the best. Jul 18, Amanja rated it it was amazing.

Daredevil is being driven mad and what better way to do that than a sudden appearance of his ex wife mila, the only semi healthy relationship dd has ever had. But poor mila is just a pawn in the complicated plan of coyote who is using non other than the spot as a weird teleportation battery. Remember the spot? From the first issue! The bizarre visuals of the spot's skillset being used for drug and human trafficking work quite well with the practicality of it. I abso Full circle! I absolutely loved the image of the spot tangled up in his own interdimensionality. We also get to see a headless daredevil have the one up on feeling his way around, being used to being blind and all. But that is just an aside to the true meat of this volume, matt and foggy's complicated relationship. Foggy finally has had enough with the stress of being best friend to a super hero and disowns matt. We don't see enough of this side of the marvel universe. Just how difficult it would be for a non powered person to form a partnership with someone who leads a double life. In the end, they remain together through thick and thin but I do not think foggy is unreasonable for having a breaking point. And just as a note, dd and spiderman have a very weird dynamic. Maybe i need to read some of spidey's books from this same time? Aug 21, Wing Kee rated it liked it. Uneven but still good. World: The art is good cause the characters express so much emotion, it's important cause this is a big drama arc with the Nelson and Matt thing. The world building is also fun building upon what Waid has been doing since he's taken on this title. It's weird and I did not see what he did with the world and the characters coming so good job! Story: I wills say that this arc both annoyed and surprised. It was creepy AF, I did not see the villain and his plan so that surprised Uneven but still good. It was creepy AF, I did not see the villain and his plan so that surprised me. It also was very out there and creepy. The idea of it was great and the pacing was a bit choppy but it was enjoyable. That being said I found the character work to be a bit of a departure from what was established from previous arcs I'll get into that below which took me out of the story as I found it too much of a stretch just to make the plot work. Characters: I found it a bit of a stretch and took me out of the arc, especially Foggy. He then turns the Purple Man over to the police with a tape of Killgrave's confessions.
