Why?
• In the aftermath of Chip Zdarsky's explosive first arc of DAREDEVIL, the ground of Hell's Kitchen has shifted and Matthew Murdock has emerged a changed man...but for better or worse?
• Don't miss the second installment of this new arc: "No Devils, Only God"!
Rated T+
The parallel stories of Mayor Fisk and Matthew Murdock compliment each other as contentment is placed against regret. Fittingly it is biblical in execution like a superhero parable about the importance of conviction to self and duty. Lalit Kumar Sharma's art may not be as dynamic as Marco Checchetto when it comes to rendering creative action sequences, but the more tone down style of this story fits his work well due to his ability to render potent emotional moments. Since Chip Zdarsky took over Daredevil he has been one of Marvel's best titles and issue number seven is one of the best issues yet. Read Full Review
I will admit a certain apprehension for Zdarsky's take on Daredevil, but the more time he spends with Ol' Hornhead, the better it gets. Read Full Review
Daredevil continues to be one of the best books Marvel is putting out. It doesn't rely on over-the-top superhero action or even much comedy. Zdarsky is delivering a compelling story and continuing to show that he's a superstar talent. Read Full Review
This issue continues the story and lets the reader know what could be coming into play later in the arc. It features a great moment with Matt Murdock facing Daredevil's faults and what they do to other people. Read Full Review
This issue isnt the best jumping on point, yet I would still recommend it to any DAREDEVIL or Chip Zdarsky fan. Head to your shops and pick this one up, especially if youve been on board since issue one. If youve heard great things (and Im sure you have), pick this one up as well as the last two issues and you should be all set! I cant wait to see where Kingpin, Cole, and Murdock are all heading in this series moving forward. Awesome job Zdarsky! Read Full Review
Chip Zdarsky continues to move pieces around in the wake of Matt Murdock's retirement from vigilante life. It's another strong issue for this run and continues to be one of the most interesting Daredevil stories to date. Read Full Review
Daredevil #7 delivers a particularly formidable example of Chip Zdarsky's insanely great scripting. Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, and detective North all shine as conflicted, deeply real people. The art takes a few tumbles but remains fully committed to supporting the script's focus on realism. This issue succeeds wildly at making its protagonists compelling as people rather than super-people. Read Full Review
A Daredevil comic focused on the absence of Daredevil is turning out to be far more exciting than even skeptics might have believed. Read Full Review
All in all, the story Zdarsky is telling continues to be impressive. Daredevil, Kingpin, Detective Cole and now Janet all have compelling stories that I can't wait to see intersect. Read Full Review
I'm really liking this series in general but I hope the art improves. Read Full Review
A lot of people see a slow pace as a negative thing but when done right with this much detail it’s perfect
fantastic!! as a huge daredevil fan I love Zdarsky's take on the character he is a phenomenal writer
Seeing Matt trying to live a life without Daredevil is oddly satisfying.
And those last two pages were perfect! The man can’t just sit and do nothing.
I really like seeing the aftermath here.
I like seeing what a world without Daredevil is like. It's really interesting.
Damn..You know you are a good writer when art like this is no distraction. Some great moments here and overall this whole comic has a very cinematic feel. Top grade stuff
Art knocks this issue down.Sharma's art is too peppy, bright, and cartoony for the tone of this series
-Starting to miss the 1st arc art more and more. Kingpin kinda looks weird
-The slower burn of showing the city in the wake of DD's disappearance make the the world feel alive and bigger than just the environment where DD fights crime
-Loved the last page
Matt struggles with pangs of conscience when he's forced to revisit his last great mistake. Fisk attempts to put his past behind him. And Detective North gets out of the hospital. The script dances flawlessly between the characters' stories, assembling a satisfying yarn even though they're not interacting yet. The art is ordinary in a not-entirely-but-mostly good way; the details and realistic character designs emphasize how down-to-earth this arc is.
"I am the mayor of new york city. If you wish me to continue to be mayor and overlook your activités, you will Keep the crime rate at a manageable level."
THE GOOD:
-This was really, really good.
-Man, Zdarsky is doing such cool and new things with Kingpin.
-Matt is so perfectly written here.
-Oh wow, this issue had an amazing gut-punch in the middle. If you read it, you know what I'm talking about. Zdarsky seems to be good at those.
-That scene with Sister Elizabeth was actually really beautiful.
-The ending was incredibly good.
THE BAD:
-Chechetto can't return fast enough!
-I'm still not on board with the new Daredevil. Maybe even less so, now, considering it feels even more like stalling than last issue.
The story is ok but not a lot of progression here. The art is really weighing this arc down for me.
Seriously, is it too much to ask to spend one extra minute to correct the googly eyes?
The Chicago cop's arc doesn't interest me, I wouldn't mind dropping him entirely. Fist is making interesting moves though, and I like the last couple pages. Matt needs to use some burner phones if he's going to do that though, 911 Emergency can tell if the same number keeps calling them.
A bit weak for me. The Story is engaging enough but the art doesn’t muster strong enough feelings
