Another very solid entry in a great run, even if the (view spoiler)[Mike Murdock (hide spoiler)] stuff felt kind of random.["br"]>["br"]>

The last volume of this already legendary run by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto concluded with a great climax, in which we had the Battle of Hell’s Kitchen, in which Matt Murdock became the devil again to fight off the hired mercenaries that were terrorising the neighbourhood. Afterwards, realising that he could never escape from the truth that he committed, Matt under the mask of Daredevil turns himself in to the authorities.This bold decision coming from our flawed hero might have consequen...

Continues where the last volume left off, with DD having to face the consequences of his actions. Unfortunately Checchetto only does the art on every other issue, which only creates a disjointedness since the other artists don't really compare and have slightly different styles. It's a shame because there are a couple panels and covers that look phenomenal.Mike Murdock is involved, it's a little weird, but the Annual included does such an outstanding job of filling in his backstory and giving th...

Zdarsky continues to make this one of the best books Marvel publishes. Daredevil finally decides to turn himself in and face justice for accidentally killing someone with his billy club. Plus, Mike Murdock returns and it looks like Zdarsky has plans for him. Zdarsky really knows his Marvel history. It really showed in the Spider-Man appearances in this volume, bringing up a story from a one-shot in the 80's. The issues Marco Checchetto draws are stunning. I wish he could keep on a monthly schedu...

4.5Consistently great with compelling character arcs for supporting characters as well.

Daredevil has turned himself in to face charges in the death of a criminal he assaulted. A loophole keeps his secret identity intact, and some sort of lenient bail allows him to be on the streets for most of the book trying to make preparations for the safety of Hell's Kitchen should he end up sentenced to prison.In the midst of this a crazy new version of Mike Murdock pops up, Iron Man and Spider-Man bop through, and Elektra makes some power moves. It seems like this should all be important, bu...

Not to be hyperbolic— but I never want this book to end.

Ok, this is new. And bit crazy. Me likey.

So, I've been doing a massive Daredevil re-read for some time....I'll try to get old books rated/posted when I can. 4.5 stars.Daredevil has has some stellar writers and storylines over the years, there's no disputing that. And the title has been firing on all cylinder for years, with little to no attention comparatively to other Marvel titles. (There was a slight sales uptick during the DD TV show, and there'll doubtless be another spike when he joins the MCU offically, but DD as a title has bee...

After the overwhelming events of End of Hell, Hell's Kitchen and New York City settle back down. Truth/Dare is a classic Daredevil volume where characters hem and haw over what's the right choice for the greater good. It's not exactly thrilling, but it feels more in the character's wheelhouse than a city-shattering battle.Daredevil has chosen to be arrested and stand trial for manslaughter. It's an interesting reversal of Supreme in Charles Soule's Daredevil run, where Daredevil is now the maske...

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...

Man, chip is NOT playing here. He really wants the Daredevil throne, and that shit ain't easy to get since you know, 4 or 5 other writes already made some of the best Daredevil runs ever. So here we have Matt at the end of his rope ready to throw in the towel. He wants to go to jail, but this time he chooses it, to point out that the justice system is not broken. That he killed someone and he has to go to prison to pay the price. Before we get there though he decides to make plans on how to prot...

One of the problems with a long running serial hero is that you've seen all the plots before. In this case, we've even seen the Daredevil-goes-to-jail plot pretty recently, in Ed Brubaker's run. With that said, Zdarsky continues to offer up a terrific run of Daredevil, mixing together Matt, lawyering, Elektra, the mobs of New York, and now the Hand. It's a great combination that continues to feel like another ground-breaking runs.

Zdarsky dials it back again after the last volume and we get another slower paced story of Matt trying to work within the system to get some redemption for his crime. The only thing I didn't like here was the annual, which focuses on Matt's "twin brother", which is an arc I was never really sold on.

While I really enjoyed this one (hence the 4 star rating) I was slightly disappointed at Chip Zdarsky's recycling of some previously used plot points. (view spoiler)[We've seen Matt go to prison before, quite recently, and we've also seen another hero become Daredevil while Matt was 'indisposed'. Sure, he's imprisoned as DD this time, not as Matt, and the hero stepping into the DD costume this time is Elektra, not Iron Fist, but it still feels a little stale to me.

Daredevil has decided to turn himself in, and throw himself at the mercy of the system he fights to uphold. But before he goes away for good, he has some unfinished business to tie up. Plus, the secret origin of Mike Murdock!This volume feels like it's playing for time, but in the best way possible. The conclusion is all but set in stone, but Matt's frantic attempts to make sure Hell's Kitchen is in good hands (in some very unorthodox ways) is extremely well done. Zdarsky tugs on the web of thea...

This was a great beginning to another arc! The fallout of Hell's Kitchen Inferno continues and we have Daredevil answering for his crimes finally, he turns himself in and faces legal repercussions. Meanwhile all those HK properties are being bought by someone. And its a massive twist and well done. There is a story about Mike Murdock and I like how its done and making him canon and real was a great idea increasing more scope for storytelling. Mike and Matt have some interesting parallels so it w...

"Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky Vol. 5: Truth/Dare"After the events of the fourth volume, Daredevil decides to turn himself in, with the condition that he'll get trialed as Daredevil and not Matt Murdock, in order to keep his secret identity intact, to protect his loved ones. Also, the Owl gets arrested for the murder of Isabella Libris' son. At the same time Fisk has been getting a lot of positive attention, due to the fact that he fought for his city. Before his trial, Daredevil keeps fighting crim...

this is EVERYTHING. i know daredevil comics are often full of morality debates, but i really like the direction this one is going. matt is so full of guilt because he sees himself as a killer. elektra is often his foil. she’s an assassin and she’s confident in that role because she’s good at it. even though matt is morally opposed to everything she does, they are always running in the same circles. we don’t usually see elektra being the one to shift her morals, but now she’s taking up the darede...

Chip Zdarsky continues to kill it with this fantastic run on Daredevil. This definitely breaks new ground on the character, as well as establishes a new precedent on vigilante justice.Highlights:- Daredevil insists on turning himself in for the murder of Leo Carraro. He's trying to do the right thing, but he has also set things up to make Hell's Kitchen a better place while he is gone. Unfortunately, the plan backfires and Tony Stark isn't able to outbid the Stromwyns for a majority hold on the
