Fans of the series may also have noticed that Chris Samnee isn't on art duties for this issue. Of course, this is a bummer, but guest artist Alvaro Lopez does a great job nonetheless. He has a style that has a lot of similarities to that of Chris Samnee, though it isn't exactly the same. Thanks to the rest of the art team staying the same, Lopez' work doesn't feel out of place at all. Read Full Review

Still, thats a pretty small complaint on an otherwise excellent, short story arc. Its really interesting when creators are able to add to a long-standing characters backstory in a way that is respectful to previous creators and their stories while still adding something significant and true to the character. Its not easy, and Waid and Rodriguez manage it with Sister Maggies story in Daredevil #7. Id guess that Murdock will soon become involved in long stories again, but the short ones have been very enjoyable. Read Full Review

Though many of the tie-ins to Original Sin have been somewhat of a mixed bag, Waid is manages to wrap his up with a strong, emotional punch. In becoming the longest-running creator on a Daredevil series (dating back to the previous volume), Waid has demonstrated many times his intricate knowledge of Matt Murdock's psyche. Given the personal tragedies he has suffered and quippy dialogue, it is easy for casual readers or those unfamiliar to think of Daredevil as a second-rate Spider-man. However, Waid's pen delivers moments, such as in the issue's closing pages, filled with intense, emotional weight that allow Murdock's character to fully shine through. The setup of the previous issue pays huge dividends in a manner that will force many readers to hold back tears.Daredevil may be one of the most fun superhero titles on shelves today, but strong finishes such as this arewhat raisesit into a class unto itself.

Lastly, but seen first, is Chris Samnee and Rodriguez' dense and colorful cover that shows a decidedly unintimidated Daredevil with his back to a spear-ridden bullseye; no, not that Bullseye. The comical touch of a skull atop the target, in turn topped off by a large red apple, is a kind of avatar that forecasts the serious yet happy-go-lucky feel of the story. "Daredevil" #7 may have the distinction of being an "Original Sin" tie-in, but it would still otherwise be another incredible issue of the series. Read Full Review

Storytellers Mark Waid and Javier Rodriguez bring on the second and concluding chapter of this Original Sin tie-in with an issue that is surprisingly emotional, beautiful, and satisfying. Read Full Review

These two tie-in issue have actually been very good, which shouldnt be too surprising with Waid and Lopez behind it. Daredevil is a legitimately fantastic series that has flown under the radar for too long. Take note of this series now before you get too far behind. Read Full Review

Daredevil #7 is the perfect mix of a Daredevil book. We have the out of the world superheroics which seem to be the course of the Marvel Now Daredevil book. We also have the small dramatic real world scenes that were the hallmark of Daredevil books of the past. Combine the two and you get a solid issue. If you are any kind of a fan of ol' hornhead, you owe it to yourself to pick up this book. Read Full Review

Waid’s double-bluff in this issue gives resolution to the deceptive retcon of the previous issue, a trick he has pulled on more than one occasion in the past. Here it is even more effective, as Waid plays with our expectations to create something that adds something to the Daredevil canon, without sidelining the important message about postpartum depression. If it sometimes comes off as heavy-handed or wraps up to conveniently, it never feels like it diminishes the ultimate message of the arc. In the words of Matt Murdoch himself, “We should all fail so tragically.” Read Full Review

A great fight scene just can't overcome some wrongheaded plotting for Daredevil #7, which undoes this series' Original Sin tie-in almost as quickly as it began. Read Full Review

Amazing stuff. The reveals were handled in a way much better than how I was afraid they would, the characters weren't black/white and you actually care about them, It has an epic Matt Murdock/Daredevil awesomeness moment, and DD is generally a badass throughout. Nice job.

Waid is just good!

I'll admit that I was expecting something more from this two-issue story, but all considered it just felt right for the mystery of Matt Murdock's mother to be revealed to write a simpler and more intimate plot. Her reasons for abandoning him are not so sharable, still Daredevil understands her in a very powerful way, highlighting once more how big a heart does he keep in his chest. The art is good but I'm missing Samnee very much and happy to know he'll be back from next issue on.

The first half of this issue is half-assed, but the second half makes up for it.

As a Mark Waid fan this is disappointing on a few levels for me. After such a strong start to this story (last issue), this was an equally weak conclusion. Everything in this issue comes off as clunky and contrived. Since it's relaunch Daredevil seems to have taken a back seat in his own book. The formula employed here has been beaten to death as well, you know the one where Matt seems to provide council (not the legal kind) every other issue to The Shroud, Foggy, Mom , or random mad robot guy and quite frankly it's getting old already.
