Charlie Soule hands in another great issue and has me (a big DD fan) in particular buying in completely. Daredevil trying to defuse a bomb, listening to Steve Rogers' color based instructions to no avail because he is blind, forcing him to grab his escaping target off the roof to do it for him is everything I love about Daredevil all in one scene. For that moment alone this issue gets a perfect rating, but everything else outside of that perfection is also absolutely on par. Read Full Review

There have been several iconic runs on the character, and if Daredevil's creative team continues its momentum, audiences might be looking at another one. Read Full Review

There is a grittiness to the writing and to the art that perfectly suits Daredevil in theme and style that has me looking forward to each new issue. Give it a try, it makes for perfect companion reading for the upcoming second season of the Netflix Daredevil series which will premier on March 18th. Read Full Review

Daredevil has never been one of my favorite heroes. In fact, there was as time when I simply would not pick up a Daredevil comic because I found the character boring. But over the last couple of years, I've grown fond of the treatments he's been given. This is no exception. In fact, it tops the cake. I have been a bit conservative in my final score, simply because this issue did not have any big reveals or especially heart-warming (or ripping) moments. I know those are coming. And since I'm most certainly adding this book to my monthly recurring pulls, I need to give Soule time to ramp. Because I know he's not blown the cap on the potential he has working on this classic character. I consider it a high mark, regardless, when an issue gets me to add a book to my pulls, so consider that a high compliment. Mr. Soule? Ya got me. Read Full Review

This may be the best issue of the series yet. Read Full Review

Daredevil works because he is a fighter for justice, in his day job and night job, and he devotes himself completely to his causes. He also has some more complex thought processes than other superheroes; he expresses self-doubt and is susceptible to being manipulated at times. He is not the typical superhero, he has flaws and it makes for great storytelling. Soule appears to be doing some of this by using inner monologue of Daredevil to express his inner turmoil. He shuns away friends and lovers so he can fully focus on improving the lives of those in Hells Kitchen by fighting crime. Soule and team are bringing those classic themes back to Daredevil and adding some new treats, like the addition of Blindspot. Read Full Review

While the first few issues of Daredevil were largely setup, Soule, Garney, Sudzuka and Milla are now cooking with gas, showing that there's still plenty of punch to Matt Murdock's post-Waid and Samnee adventures. While that previous era of Daredevil was about opening Matt Murdock up to new emotions and new readers, this run is all about Matt Murdock making his inevitable return to the darkness - a characterization which almost feels like gravity at this point. When you fight for the angels but have a face like the Devil, perhaps that faltering is inevitable. So it's great that this creative team makes a fall from grace look this good. Read Full Review

Soule seems to be trying to push his story beyond the homage to Frank Miller's Daredevil run. I'm not sure if the parallels were his idea or Marvel's (because of the Netflix series' success) but I'm hoping he can continue pushing the new, exciting changes to the story he's implemented.

"Daredevil" #4 is still an above average comic, but it's not as great as the previous issues were. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Murdock's work in the DA's office, even as I'm eager to see the continued battle between Tenfingers and the Hand. It's still a fun issue overall, but it's definitely an installment that could have used that same legal boost from its earlier chapters. Read Full Review

After three successive issues that were a downward spiral for the character, this issue revived my interest and did bolster my faith in Soule's writing chops. But except for liking the new villain, I'm not enjoying most of the rest of the ongoing elements and narrative of this newest incarnation Couple that with the dislike I have for the distinctive but distracting and somewhat dirty looking and you have a very real chance that I will be dropping this series within the next issue or two at most unless the story suddenly pulls me in completely in a way that it hasn't been able to for four issues.

Its unfortunate that as the art on Daredevil improves, the story issues have become more prominent. Its not that these things are unfixable. If Soule can add some nuance, depth and complexity to Matt Murdocks personality, it will help a great deal. I dont find Ten Fingers very compelling, but if we move on to a new foe in the next arc, thats not a huge deal. The creators also need to settle the details of the world forgetting Daredevils identity. If those things get corrected, Daredevil can be a good series. For now, though, Daredevil #4 has problems that make it somewhat disappointing. Read Full Review

Another great issue.

Matt’s conversation with Tenfingers was well-written, Seeing Daredevil trying to solve a problem he can’t even sense was very fun, Steve not knowing Matt is blind adds a lot of interesting undertones to the dialogue between them and more details about Blindspot are revealed. Overall, a great and beautiful read.

Solid issue. Gives Blindspot a bit more of an important role in the story and I thought Soule made some interesting choices with the Daredevil character. I thought this was the best of the series so far.

This book is right about where I expected it to be, because I just do not like the villain Tenfingers. I wish I did like him, because then this story would actually probably be my favorite issue whenever it comes out, now it just feels a bit middle of the road, even though I LOVE Charles Soule’s writing, and I think that the artwork on this book is flipping gorgeous. I just don’t like the villain, and I think that the connective tissue with Blindspot just makes me care LESS about him as well. I wish that it was more Daredevil and Blindspot in a book fighting flavor of the month villains, instead of this guy who just looks weird, and feels a bit TOO out of place for what I expect from a Daredevil story- which is to say that I wanted this book to read like a transcript from a season of the Netflix Daredevil series. But this book isn’t that, and I get it. I loved the way this book uses halftone in its coloring (which is the dot-printing method most commonly used in OLD Comic books, not new ones) because it affects a very retro and very classic vibe in this book that is welcome. That and the dynamic visuals of the acrobatic and very physical Daredevil really make this book great to look at, just no more Tenfingers. I don’t want him, and I am willing to stick it out on this book until he is gone- and I hope he is gone soon, because I want to be done with him. The scene where **SPOILERS** Daredevil tries to disarm a bomb, but cant because it has a colored wire rig AND an LCD timer that the blind Matt Murdock cannot see was a brilliant turn for the story, and one that shows that Daredevil isn’t a hero without faults. Captain America – Steve Rodgers gets a spot on the cover, but doesn’t really factor in too much to the action of the story, but is just there to try and help Matt Murdock resolve his issue with the fact that nobody knows that Daredevil is Matt Murdock anymore, and that Daredevil wants to unburden himself to his old friend. more

The undertones in the conversation with Tenfingers were interesting. The rest of the issue was somewhat lackluster. I liked watching Matt struggle with the bomb, but there wasn't much lead up to get him to that bomb, he was just shaking down some random connection and Cap was there for no good reason. Can't say it made sense for Blindspot to reveal himself when he does either. This series is just struggling to pull itself together into a cohesive narrative. Props to Ron Garney on his hand drawing skills though, as if drawing five fingers isn't difficult enough.
