It's all out war in Hell's Kitchen as all the machinations of the previous volumes comes crashing into a big violent mid-season finale of sorts. I don't think all the story beats were earned or made sense, but it's easy to get caught up in the momentum as various threads start to weave together and characters cast aside previous doubts in favor of taking action.Lots of Easter eggs and callbacks for longtime readers like me.
Desperately needs more of the chubby crime lord!
I wasn't aware of how much of a expert juggler Zdarsky was until this Daredevil run. He masterfully balances multiple plot threads, weaving characters in and out, creating this masterpiece run on a character known for its masterful runs. It's every bit on par with where Bendis, Brubaker, and Miller have taken Daredevil in the past. This is bar none, the best comic Marvel is publishing right now.
This volume is actually the continuation of Through Hell, which began in the previous book. Saying that the story comes to a head would be an understatement - Zdarsky brings things to a boil and then lets the water spill everywhere as war erupts in Hells Kitchen, with Daredevil and the Kingpin trapped in the middle. There are at least two big plot twists you'll never see coming, and the return of a few fan favourite Daredevil villains to boot along the way.Zdarsky really knows what he's doing on...
Phenomenal. I don't know how he did it but Zdarsky managed bring DD back to basics while still making it feel fresh and new. He's bonded Matt with his faith again, balanced his mind, and clarified what his role is. The last two issues are jaw dropping with the chaos and hysteria going on. It also contains a surprise that I didn't see coming. Fornes' art is excellent. It has the same feel as Maleev or even David Aja. It's fine, and works really well for the non-action scenes, people talking. Chec...
Wow!
wow wow wow . zdarsky’s run has really been impressive so far.
While Matt and Elektra play Robin Hood and rob the Stromwyns, Hammerhead and The Owl are making moves in Hell's Kitchen. When they butt heads, will there be anything left of Hell's Kitchen to fight over?In this volume, Daredevil is reborn, or Born Again (get it?) as a crime fighter. After a caper with Electra, Hell's Kitchen heats up and it's up to Matt, Cole North, and a handful of Hell's Kitchen's denizens to keep what's theirs. I was so engrossed in this story that I didn't even notice the sh...
What can I say that others haven't? This is an excellent run of comics and it constantly amazes me how good a writer Zdarsky has become. The artwork is also excellent throughout.
This continues to be the best run of Daredevil since the Brian Michael Bendis/Ed Brubaker run. No disrespect to Mark Waid, whose tenure was fun and full of incredible growth for the characters, but this Zdarsky run is *chef kiss*.A great comic book writer, creating under the structure of Marvel or DC, can seamlessly weave several smaller stories into one big tapestry. Zdarsky is weaving, unraveling, waving, and unraveling, as characters come together, leave, return to the action, and it all not
Holy shit...That's it. Chip has done it. This is a classic before even being called a classic. I haven't had this much love for Daredevil since I finished the Bendis/Brubaker run but this is just blowing me away. Matt helps elektra do some dirty work. In fact, he believes it is to rob very rich people and put the money into the accounts of small businesses and people in need. But of course she has other ideas. This part of the story is so important because when the rich get things taken from the...
Marvel heroes are often known for having a distinct flaw and that is certainly true of Daredevil. Not so much his blindness – though he does question why God would take away his sight – but his addiction to danger through his dual role as lawyer and vigilante, there are the signature internal monologues where he thinks about his own demons. As a Catholic, Matt Murdock has always been looking for redemption, especially at the start of Chip Zdarsky’s run, where he took the life of another and thus...
This comic starts off slowly but builds and builds into a fantastic climax which puts Hell's Kitchen on the line with only daredevil in the way. An amazing comic that ends on a cliffhanger and, like with all the previous comics in the this series, I can't wait to see what happens next.
"My name is Matt Murdock. When I was a kid, God gave me a gift. He took my sight, but he gave me the world. Every sound,, every smell, every texture - he made me feel everything. I dressed as the devil and used these gifts to be a blunt instrument . . . " -- Matt 'Daredevil' MurdockLike I said in the previous volume's review, I'm running out of original-sounding praise to give this mini-series. To give credit where it's due - writer Zdarsky and company have done consistently great work in mainta...
The next time somebody asks me why I'm such a big fan of Daredevil (or mocks me for it; it's happened) I'm going to give them a copy of this book. Absolutely breathtaking.(Not literally give them a copy, before you all start queuing up for your free books...)
(heavy spoilers here) Through Hell continues, Matt and Elektra team up to take money from the Stromwyns and distribute to the poor. They are angry and to deal with it they wanna destroy Hells Kitchen and when the property values are lower drive the value up and ergo continue that trend. Matt has an interesting face off against them in a party. Also he battles some new hand ninjas gone "for hire" named The Drifters. Matt and Elektra rekindle that old flame. Meanwhile Fisk has been scared badly. A...
"Remember who you are. Remember your training. You're Matt Murdock. You're Daredevil. And out of infinite possibilities, there's only one way this is going to go. My way."
This art is beautiful. Do I lead a review of this Zdarsky run with that? Is that missing the point?When does the art transcend the writing?Wow, I need to keep an eye out for Jorge Forbes for sure, coloured by Nolan Woodard...Hell, they made the series artists (Marco Checchetto and Mattia Iacono) look like they were standing still. Oh, did that mean I didn’t enjoy the story? Yeah, this “Reborn” homage was pretty dammed exciting. Page-Turner, far more compelling than most of the books I read these...
Devilishly good run continues
I understand that Chip Zdarsky's aim is to have Daredevil and Kingpin reject their pasts, then suffer the consequences. It just feels like he's going about it in a fairly ham-fisted way. Daredevil doesn't want to be Daredevil anymore - so it's no surprise when a paramilitary force descends on Hell's Kitchen and the ol' devil is forced back into action.A paramilitary force? Really? Apparently, the Stromwyns have reduced the police presence in Hell's Kitchen to drive down property prices so that t...
