The Daredevil side of Dead Man's Hand spends a lot of time on all these criminals meeting and dividing up Kingpin's former empire. It's pretty well done even if it falls into the trap of Chichester's endless awkward dialogue and at some point loses me a bit in this issue. That's another problem with Chichester's writing in general - he seems to have trouble even communicating the basics of what he's trying to say with a story - bordering on the incoherent at times. He also really seems to struggle keeping the tone and pace feel consistent as the Punisher and Nomad stories start to cross over a bit more here. Finally, there's this whole thing where Baron von Strucker is resurrected by this virus and is scheming in the background, and not only does he look like Jim Carrey's Mask, but it feels deeply silly as a plotline and wildly out of place with everything else.

Daredevil's parts are by far the weakest of an otherwise decent crossover, but it does have its moments. more
