Soule and Laming introduce readers into some bleak, introspective territory in "Daredevil" #18, calling on the very core of the blind lawyer. Read Full Review

While the book's ending does seem to tip its hand as to where things are potentially going, this is nonetheless a fun romp that utilizes the character's long and complicated history to creative effect. Read Full Review

In my opinion though I think Soule and the colorist, Milla, could use a little help in the art department to sell issues. With a consistent artist or someone more dynamic this could be a fondly remembered run of Daredevil everyone would suggest picking up for years to come. Soule's writing and Milla's colors make this arc cohesive. Read Full Review

“What’s the worst thing you could do?”

“To know the world is in chaos, and do… nothing”.

What a perfect take on the character and a brilliant way to beat Killgrave at his own game. This issue proves (once again) that Soule understands Daredevil.

With the Purple Man slinging existential questions at him, Daredevil experiences a moment of identity clarity. This issue features an awesome allegory of Matt Murdock drinking in a bar with all the past iterations of Daredevil. Serpentine Killgrave asks him what's the worst thing he could do. After soul-searching that brilliantly manifests itself as several great DD-on-DD brawls, he strikes his answer. What's the worst thing Daredevil could do? Watch the world burn and do nothing. This is the turning point of the "Purple" arc, and though there's one issue to go, the question of how Hornhead got his secret identity back is already practically answered.

This arc just keeps getting more interesting. We will see what happens next issue, but this Daredevil run has really hit it's stride.

Daredevil 19 is further proof that Charles Soule understands Daredevil. Ron Garney knocks it out of the park every issue on the art

Anorher great chapter to the "purple man" arc. Soule's writing is on point for his daredevil run and this issue and arc are no exception. We see Soule take Matt into his own fears and to combat Killgrave! Even though there is one more issue I think this one pretty much has given us the ending. The art was just ok in this issue. There were a couple really odd looking panels of Matt with an extremely awkward grin that just seemed really sloppy. Overall I'm really enjoying Soule's take on DD!

Marvel shouldn't be switching artists mid-storyline like this, especially when their styles are so drastically different, it is going to interrupt the reading experience in trade format. That being said, I love Laming's artwork and hope to see more of it. I like seeing the various incarnations of Daredevil in one room, I'm unfamiliar with the version wearing the shoulder pads, but his "extreme" line leads me to assume he's a product of the 90's, nice touch. This turns out to be a creative way to get Daredevil to the new status quo that we've been reading since the start of Soule's run.

Art: 3.5/5
Story: 3.5/5
Total: 7.5/10

Ehh. I didn't really like this issue. No real depth or insight on Matt from Charles Soule here. Maybe the whole thing was marred for me by the art, which was pedestrian at best. Where's Ron Garney? It's not terrible, but it's mediocre.
