Daredevil is done playing nice and has made the decision to go after his enemies. Chip Zdarsky loves this character and it shows with each and every issue Read Full Review

Daredevil is back in Hell's Kitchen, and change is cooking up for Matt and what is left of his supporting cast. Zdarsky, de Latorre, and Wilson will revisit the guilt that has made Matt a Man Without Fear, but what comes next with nothing to lose? This kitchen is seasoned with a vengeance! Read Full Review

De Latorre delivers some beautiful, dark and haunting imagery throughout the issue. The visuals drew me in both in the character moments and in Matt's journey through Hell's Kitchen. Read Full Review

Daredevil #11 is a step back up in narrative quality as this storyline comes to a close. The Iron Fist backup story is also fun and effective, though not at all connected to the main story. The main story ends on a note of equal parts desperation and foreboding. Read Full Review

Daredevil #11 puts a cap on Daredevil's failed reign as leader of the Fist with a cooldown issue that's light on action but heavy on drama, consequences, and pain. Zdarsky earns big bonus points for pushing the characters to new places in their canon, and the art is gorgeous. Read Full Review

After the climactic events of the past several issues, it would be easy for Daredevil #11 to play like an epilogue as it winds down various character arcs and conflicts from across Zdarsky and Checchetto's titanic run. Yet even as Daredevil returns to New York City and goes about tying off loose ends, it's clear that the story is still cooking and building momentum. Read Full Review

Daredevil #11 does not come close to meeting the quality standards that this series is known for. This is the first issue of Chip Zdarsky's run that was a disappointment. Everything from the pacing to the characterization was just missing the mark. Thanks to some consistently strong artwork by Rafael De Latorre Daredevil #11 at least still looked great.

Another disturbing issue that continues to shock me. It’s clear that Zdarsky is tying up all his loose ends from the past several years, but I still have no idea where this story is going to end up. The themes of trauma are heavy, and seeing Cole North finally lose his faith in the justice system is really sad, but feels fitting after everything he’s been through.

This issue has a backup Iron Fist story for some reason, but it’s not really worth mentioning and I’m not taking it into account in my rating. I’m not sure when it’s supposed to be set, but it’s definitely out of place with current continuity.

I feel like nothing more thoroughly exemplifies the register that this comic operates in than the fact that I feel moved to use the phrase "calm before the storm" to describe an issue where the protagonist stabs out his own eyes

Eyo! WTF!

Its great the iron fist story sucks tho

Great issue that's finally back to the high standard this run had before Devil's Reign. It's a shame the Fist arc went on so long that it really diminished the run and hoping that the rest of the story keeps up this momentum.

The beginning of the issue was pretty good with Cole but the Stromwyns encounter was strange. After everything they proved they could do they just get punked by a lone street level hero? And the eye thing...weird. This issue felt like the pacing was a bit off as well, but maybe it was because of the sudden halt of action after the last few issues. Either way the book remain good and is always near the top of my reading pile.

a very good and entertaining issue. Even if the artist is different, Daredevil is one of the best series out there

I'm going to dock it a little due to the back up story. I can't stand when Marvel adds them out of nowhere gor the extra dollar. Also, the main story is alright. I think it had a good.premise on paper, but it also just seemed so odd. Not sure what to think about where this will all lead.

This was an interesting issue. He gives himself up, only to spring a trap on them that gets pretty disgusting. I have no idea why there is a backup story here. I have no desire to read about an iron fist that is not Danny Rand. A waste of my time and money.

Marvel is putting backups featuring Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in their books in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Zdarsky is a good writer, but he continues to do things that are inexplicable. DD cuts out his eyes in front of the Stromwyns, who don't know that DD has radar sense, so why would they make a deal with a powerless blind man? DD enters the meeting declaring he's not there for revenge, but then takes (illegal) actions that show he definitely was. As far as I know, the world still believes the world leaders, including POTUS, were asssasinated. So are they REALLY just going to spring Elektra from the clink and expunge her record? Is the public not going to demand action? Besides,is it even remotely plausible that the STromwyns can make ONE phone call and supervillains get a "Get out of jail free" card? So many implausible events.

The difference in quality between the writing in the start of Zdarsky’s run to this is massive.

SPOILER Daredevil cutting out his own eye was WAAAAY over the top. The backup story was better than I expected in that it was just a fun story, a nice change of pace from the perpetual beat downs that have characterized Zdarsky’s run over all.
