This is the right story at the right time by the best team who could be telling it. Read Full Review

This is a true to form, almost classic style Daredevil story with Matt going up against Kingpin. It will be interesting to see how Matt overcomes a city that's siding with the Kingpin. Great, clean artwork throughout adds to the tension in many scenes. Read Full Review

Despite the hang-ups Marvels recent stories bring to the context of this issue, Daredevil #595 is a great read and the start of an enticing new arc for the Man Without Fear. The beginning of Mayor Fisk establishes the premise well and lays on the tension in large servings. I highly recommend this one; give it a read. Read Full Review

I highly recommend this book, especially as a great jump on point for new readers or longtime readers who may have exited the book for a number of years. Read Full Review

Daredevil #595 is a great start to what could be another classic battle between Kingpin and Daredevil. Charles Soule is a fantastic writer who really should be getting more praise for his work on this series. The art has some hiccups, but overall it really enhances the story being told and adds to the drama. When Wilson Fisk is the Mayor of New York City, you know things are bad, and they are only going to get worse unless someone stands up. Read Full Review

If you haven’t been reading Soule’s Daredevil, now is the time to jump on. The story is off to a strong start, delivering exactly what legacy promised, a return to classic stories and classic villains. Read Full Review

This arc is shaping up to be a satisfying culmination of the preceding stories with a major shake-up thanks to Fisk. Readers who haven't been following Soule's stellar run should have no trouble diving into this arc here. Soule's been telling classic Daredevil tales long before Marvel Legacy began, but now he seems to be raising the bar even higher. Read Full Review

Daredevil #595 delivered a strong start to the Mayor Wilson Fisk-era of the Marvel Universe. This is a major change that changes the landscape of a lot major comic books Marvel is publishing. And Charles Soule does a very good job at getting over how big of a change this is and how it affects all Marvel superheroes. This in turn gave more weight to what Soule has done with Daredevil and what is to come for this series in the future. Read Full Review

The issue is good and has a lot of interesting concepts and for me this feels like a superhero comic that'll be cerebral going forward with not as much action but getting into the roots of superheroes being outlaws in some ways and the public turning against them. This is a different type of superhero comic away from big battles, the action, is a little different and very welcome. Read Full Review

There are some intriguing story elements here that can be built upon, hopefully Soule takes advantage of them. Read Full Review

Daredevil #595 stumbles and takes a couple of bombastic leaps of logic in the new storyline which still features fantastic art and the classic current vibe of the book. Read Full Review

As far as new status quos go, having Daredevil confront a world where New Yorkers have just elected Wilson Fisk their mayor is pretty swell. It's essentially Dark Reign in microcosm. Unfortunately, this series doesn't immediately make the most of that premise as it enters Marvel legacy. Read Full Review

A great start to the biggest arc of the series yet. Landini’s art is immaculate and for me he is the best artist so far. He draws Wilson Fisk so realistically and it goes perfectly with Soule’s dialogue. Matt has been through the wringer the last 28 issues but this is when everything comes together

This is just the beginning of what I feel is going to be a classic Daredevil arc. The kingpin is my favorite villain, so seeing him as mayor is big time scary. The new artist is good too. Really had a nice feel to the art and colors as well. Matt is really up against the wall in this one and will be interesting to see how Soule gets him out of it.

Can't wait to see how this unfolds.

The curtain's peeled back on Wilson Fisk as mayor of New York City. The Trump parallels are undeniable, but it's a story that holds up on its own. Charles Soule's script is plot-heavy and characterization-light, which works. Stefano Landini's art is striving for clean storytelling and mostly succeeds, but there's something nebulously cold in the visuals that matches the intellectual feel of the script.

I have only been reading comics for the past 2 or so years and not much Marvel. Only Daredevil really. It has been a solid series. However I think this issue is shaping up to be what a classic Daredevil Arc should be when Fisk has the upper hand and you are not sure how Daredevil is going to save the day. I am excited to see where this Arc goes especially because I will be a part of it as it unfolds.

Art: 3/5

Cops staging a fake mugging, really? Don't forget that Matt is a human lie detector.
