AFTER THE REIGN COMES THE DAWN!
In the wake of Wilson Fisk's violent and visceral last act, it's a new era for New York and the Man Without Fear! With a groundbreaking creative team returning to usher in an all-new chapter, Matt Murdock has no choice but to leave behind everything he's ever known, and ELEKTRA is the last vestige of his former life. Everything Matt Murdock thought it meant to be DAREDEVIL is about to change, including the challenges he will have to face in the cowl!
RATED T+
Daredevil #1 is a stunning start. It tries to close the door on Daredevils time in Hells Kitchen by having one last adventure in it. Zdarsky knows all of these characters completely at this stage, yet still tries to bring out new aspects to their personalities. From the start, it is evident that Murdock and Elektra come into this book with tortured souls and troubled minds. The art is gorgeous and it is so exciting to see this creative team back again.

After so many years of tortured soul-searching, you'd be forgiven for thinking it might be time for Matt Murdock to catch a break. No such luck is to be had, though. In the hands of master creators like Zdarsky, Checchetto, Wilson, and Cowles, ol' horn head looks to be in for the fight of his life - and that's a good thing. What's old is new again in the best way possible as Chip Zdarsky continues defining Daredevil for the next generation. Read Full Review
Both artists bring some beautiful, dynamic and brilliantly detailed visuals to every page of this issue. The action is thrilling and the characters look amazing. Read Full Review
If this issue is any indication, this run of Daredevil is going to be a great close for this version of Murdock's adventures. The writers set up a great plot, and used every single one of this issues 34 pages effectively. Maybe you are a time honored fan of Daredevil or maybe this is the first comic book you have ever read. Either way, I highly recommend that you give Daredevil a read. It has me hooked, and I am looking forward to the next issue. Read Full Review
Daredevil and Daredevil leave New York, and while it's not clear where they're going, the hints we get make it clear there's good stuff to come. Read Full Review
Daredevil #1 hits heavy as you're seeing Matt Murdock go through some familiar pain. Chip and Marco are continuing their trailblazing run on Daredevil, but steel yourself as I think this will live up to the phrase, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Buckle up and keep your head on a swivel, as it will be a hell of a ride. Read Full Review
Daredevil #1 is a strong continuation of where Devil's Reign left the franchise. Chip Zdarsky, Marco Checchetto, Rafael De Latorre, and Matt Wilson do not miss a beat with where they take Matt Mudock and Elektra Natchios characters as both characters operate as Daredevil and co-leads of The Fist. This first issue accomplishes a lot in setting up several storylines for the reader to be invested in alongside the Daredevils main mission of taking down The Hand. This is definitely a can't miss comic book for Daredevil fans. Read Full Review
An interesting new direction. Is it better the Devil you know, or is the Devil always in the detail? Only time, and Chip Zdarsky, can tell. Read Full Review
I don't want Zdarsky's Daredevil run to end--in part because I don't want to see either of our two little devils die in the other's arms ;( Read Full Review
The Man Without Fear returns in the latest volume of his adventures. It's a great launch, but also includes a final twist that could make or break the overall story depending on how it goes in the end. Read Full Review
Daredevil #1 is solid as expected. The comic does a great job of setting up the next adventure while wrapping up what has come before. It acts as a decent spot for new readers to hop on and should make longtime readers happy. Overall, things are looking very intriguing for the Daredevils and this series continues to be one to not miss. Read Full Review
Wherever this new #1 is preparing to lead readers, it's bound to be a story unlike anything seen in the title before and that alone is plenty promising. Read Full Review
Daredevil #1 (2022) hits the ground running as Matt Murdock ties up loose ends before saying goodbye to NYC for good. The art is jaw-dropping, and Zdarsky packs every scene with drama and emotion. However, there are a lot of settings to keep straight, some without any apparent connection to the main plot, so your enjoyment may be mixed with confusion. Read Full Review
Right off the bat, Zdarsky's issue tortures our protagonist. At times the story feels a little too contrived, characters are revealed not to be who they say they are, characters have faked their deaths, and Purple Children have caused people to forget Matt Murdock was Daredevil's secret identity. This book is advertised as a jumping on point for new readers, although it's safe to say that some may find a few of these continuity hurdles tough to clear. Read Full Review
Why not have one or two day in the life style issues where we get to see Matt coping with the aftermath of Devils Reign out of costume, just living his life as Matt Murdock and pondering what hes going to do next before dropping us into another 15-part epic? Read Full Review
The rest of the issue, including Daredevil being interviewed by someone else in the near (far?) future and Elektra kicking Stick‘s ass for fun, sets up the challenges of taking the devil out of Hell's Kitchen. Oh, and also an old acquaintance of Matt's appears with bizarre unexplained powers and a knowledge of his secret, so, um. yeah, there's that too. Read Full Review
This was a crazy opening issue.
Matt tries to make the most out of the time he has left in Hell’s Kitchen but things get complicated when Goldy comes back into his life, and it turns out he’s… Matt’s guardian angel? I have some thoughts about the direction this can go but I’ll wait and see if I’m right. Nonetheless, it’s very exciting.
There’s also a back-up story with Elektra where she goes to set-up base for “The Fist” and it was cool. Reminding us that either Matt or Elektra might not survive this.
Art was gorgeous as usual and I really liked the nine panel grid that was used at the beginning and the end of the issue.
Daredevil is a character I pick up every issue of from every volume and for the last few years I've been getting reminded why I love both matt and Elektra so much. Chip zdarsky continues to brilliantly tell a daredevil tale that will be remembered as a must read for years to come. Marco Checchetto also continues his absolutely brilliant artwork on this book and Rafael de latorre does an equally brilliant job on art for the second story. I can not wait to see where this is heading because with this team at the wheel I'm strapping in as it's gonna be a wild ride!
Its good to be back. Chip and Chechetto didn't miss a beat. The Elektra artist killed it too.
I love every page of it.
Zdarsky Daredevil will never be bad
Zdarsky writes such a good Spider Man every time. Really hope he gets his own run on ASM one day. Also, I had no idea Stick was still alive. Everything about this issue was great except for the Kirsten/Robert Goldman scene which confused me
Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto maintain their high standard and serving us an extremely high-quality continuation of their saga.
Oh boy what a start.
But it's Zdarsky and Checcheto. What else did you expect?
This is going to be great
Good start. Zdarsky is good as usual but Matt's actions need better explanations. Checchetto is amazing as always and man is Matthew Wilson really good with his shades of coloring.
Wasn’t really what I expected… and maybe that’s not a bad thing. The angel thing is giving me Guardian Devil vibes.
Art: 4/5
Story: 3.5/5
Total: 7.5/10
It's a good comic. I'm trying not to be disappointed, but with these creators' track record … I was hoping for a great comic, and this isn't quite it.
The script's folded up into a puzzle box. The prose is laconic and functional; it works, but it doesn't sparkle. Several scenes (the "twisting fate tricks" in particular) call for sharp visual storytelling, but they're not quite clear enough. There are definite high points in the art, but also a few surprisingly rough patches.
The hints at future plot and character developments are good, intriguing. They're enough to pull me on into #2 by themselves. But I get the feeling that the creators believe their material is inherently great, which it isn't -- this issue's conte more
I liked the Elektra part of it. The main part had some good moments. Specifically, the Spider-Man stuff, but the end was a little put there. We will see what happens.
A lot of nonsensical things in this issue. Matt paid dearly several times over when his secret identity was first revealed and for years after, and now he’s back to playing fast and loose with it? Also, he knew Spider-Man’s secret identity, what made him forget it in this issue? And won’t Wilson realize he killed the wrong person when he sees that Daredevil is still around? And why is “the man without fear” scared of guardian Angel? He’s seen similar gimmicks before.
Disappointing start but I’m still interested to see where this is going
Wait, so is Matt's plan hinging on Kingpin's son assuming that Daredevil disguised himself as Matt Murdock pretending to be Mike Murdock? Am I reading this right? Seems more likely that Matt just outed his secret identity to his newest foe right off the bat for no reason...
I am interested in this Guardian Angel dude though, what's his deal?
Kind of blah
