This is a great issue that has Daredevil getting his affairs in order before the big trial. I love the characters' tones and relationships in this issue, as they are played perfectly -- Zdarsky has a firm grasp on the DD-verse. Read Full Review
Daredevil is headed for the big house, and there's not much he can do about it! Read Full Review
Despite a couple of flaws, it's a solid issue that moves the Daredevil character and story in a brand new, different way. Worth both your money and time. Read Full Review
Even as Daredevil #24 moves to repeat the best beats from "The Devil, Inside and Out," it still promises to explore new territory in the same satisfying, character-driven fashion that has made every issue of Daredevil so far a must-read. Read Full Review
Daredevil #24 is a powerful issue. So much of the threads that Zdarsky has been unraveling are tied up, while more appear to keep the reader even more invested than they were in the last issue. The constant change in Daredevils thought processes and personality as his dilemma gets worse shows the writer's ability to explore characters in depth. Read Full Review
Daredevil #24 presents a particular interesting turning point in Matts story and can progress in either a fascinating and unique direction or this could be the point where the story falls apart. It seems that Matts identity will still be intact come the next issue which begs the question of how someone in that position could possibly be allowed to keep their identity. It will be hard to justify Daredevil keeping his secret identity, but if any author has proven himself up for the challenge then Chip Zdarsky will surely deliver. Read Full Review
Daredevil #24 accomplishes the goal of taking us to Daredevil's trial. A strong, smart script and solid art make the final hours of Matt's pre-trial life compelling. Although it rises to a dramatic peak in the final scene, the rest of the comic is filled with the rock-solid groundwork that's become characteristic for this volume. Read Full Review
Daredevil #24 delivers on the impactful result that Chip Zdarsky has been building his run around. Daredevil's ultimate decision and how other Marvel characters factored into that made the ending of this issue create even more interest in what will happen in the future. Read Full Review
Holy. F*****. Shit. Elektra. What a woman you are.
All time great Elektra moment
I never rate a comic 10. But this is simply perfect.
The only issue I have with this comic is that the art was a bit rough in places. The rest is so, so good.
The last moments before Daredevil's trial provide enough reverses to shake his faith and tease enormous tension right up to the final page. The prose is good, verging on great, and the structure of the script is genuinely great. The art is strong, too -- but it's just different enough from Marco Checchhetto's to introduce a touch of confusion.
Don't you just want to shake some sense into Matt sometimes? But that's what makes him such a compelling character; he is an altruistic hero, yes, but ultimately a flawed human being.
Good thing that Zdarsky built court precedence into the story leading up to now in order to allow Daredevil to be tried in his mask, otherwise this would look ridiculous.
So good.
Zdarsky is really starting to creep up to Miller and Bendis territory with how good this run has been.
I've missed this series so much during last 3 weeks and I'm glad it is back.
Another stellar issue from Zdarsky and Hawthorne.
That was so good! Loved the twists and turns.
Now i have to read the annual i missed.
Damn you chip. Daredevil never catches any breaks. This issue was really good though and Hawthorne did a good job.
It's very good and Zdarsky plays the beats well. Hawthorne on art is great and he has some awesome pages especially the court splash page but in some spots it looks a bit rough but I'm not sure that's on Mayer's inks or not? Still very good and well worth the ride.
The art for this issue is not too appealing to me. Solid issue to probably end this arc
24 issues in and this comic continues to impress. Although a little weary of Matt/DD in prison again, I trust Zdarsky enough to see where he takes it. Furthermore, I think Zdarsky is painting a bigger picture here about the responsibility of those with power (cue Uncle Ben). Maybe its a story mirroring our current environment or maybe its just a comic about a blind super hero, either way interested to see how this plays out. Zdarsky manages the other characters in this book exceptionally well, with depth and character development of Fisk and Typhoid Mary. If you haven't jumped on board yet, well maybe you just don't like comics...

Still the second best Marvel book, just behind Immortal Hulk! The others don't come close.
Matt's going to jail again...which we all saw coming from a mile away. I'm still invested in Kingpin and Typhoid Mary's story; as well as Elektra's. Its just a shame the title character's own plotline has started to feel somewhat stagnant.
art is bad mike murdock is a terrible story
