Zdarskys exploitation of Matts established history as a Catholic who is a real believer even if not an actively practicing one adds an extra dimension to a philosophical discussion. If not for that, it might be easy for a character to dismiss Goldys claims. Matt doesnt really have that luxury. And in a certain way this plays into a reveal in the final pages. Zdarsky ultimately leaves Matts reaction to what Goldy tells him somewhat open-ended which makes Daredevil #2 a very compelling presentation of this theme. It makes for an exceptionally strong character story that highlights Zdarsky as an ideal writer for Matt Murdock. Read Full Review

Daredevil #2 (2022) sets up one of the most unique and intriguing villains in the Daredevil canon. How do you punch Fate? How do you arrest Destiny? It's an interesting idea that makes for a completely unknowable journey, and I'm looking forward to taking it. Read Full Review

Anniversary sized issue that has Daredevil face his thoughts on belief and free will. You'll see new layers to Matt's life and gain a unique insight into why they happened.

Chip Zdarsky proposed a simple climax for his Daredevil run: the end of the Hand. So far, the Red Fist Saga has been blood complicated for the devil of Hell's Kitchen--not to mention a whole hell of a lot of fun to read! Read Full Review

Even if it seems that Daredevil #2 is stalling its story, there's a lot of value to be found in the anniversary issue of Daredevil #650. Read Full Review

Overall, an intriguing issue that celebrates a big number for the series but doesn't overdo that aspect. The only knock is an art shift in the main story that feels like a bit of a jolt before it's clear what's going on. Read Full Review

Despite the tease of her death, Kristen McDuffie turns out to have been spared Goldy's actions leaving us with a relieved Matt Murdock who still has plenty of questions about Goldy's insane actions and what is really driving him. Read Full Review

This is absolutely phenomenal! I am so intrigued by Goldy. As a massive daredevil fan this is everything I want in a daredevil story. I can't wait to get the next issue! This is brilliant

hell yea

Some absolutely gorgeous large scale art, and a new threat that is unlike what we've seen Daredevil face in a long time makes this well worth the buy.

As usual, a lot of people are jumping the gun on a certain revelation in this issue, without much rational thinking or balance. This is the beginning of a story, and Zdarsky has more than proven himself able to tell good ones.

Great issue that takes you through emotions. Not sure what to make of the guardian angel aspect just yet but this was a proper landmark issue.

Seeing some hate for this issue but I think it worked well as both a continuation of the Zdarsky run and a fun landmark 650 issue. Enjoyed seeing some daredevil artists return as well.

This episode is a little slow, but it does a good job of building Goldy up into an insane, dangerous wild card. I find myself pretty tolerant of the retcon, even though origin-tinkering seems to be getting a little too common at Marvel right now.

The clean flashback art contrasts very well with the gritty modern art (though things get pretty confusing in the train crash). I think the guest artist pages were nicely set up, though some were more impressive than others.

The B strip is a nice little treat, too. Some good Zdarsky art and a Nocenti script that's clever but also comprehensible.

Really great main story! Not sure about Ann Nocenti's, though. I also really love the cartoon one-pagers at the very end.

Art: 4/5
Story: 4/5
Total: 8/10

First off, let me say the retcon is fkin horrible. I’ll give Zdarsky the benefit of the doubt to fix this down the line but right now just thinking about the Goldy character just angers me. On the other hand, the art was phenomenal, and the scene at the end with Kirsten was touching

A bit confusing, but entertaining issue.

Like the first issue, it was pretty good but, not near the quality Zdarsky has given us for Daredevil. I don't mind the direction, it just needs more excitement. The back up story's were not good.

This was OK to read and none of the retcon hit as it has for others and just falls flat. I almost don't care at this point and I think I need to step away from this book for a while. Zdarsky has lost a lot of his goodwill from the early dozen issues but Dark Reign was not good. It doesn't help that I'm currently reading the Waid/Rivera/Samnee run and it's much better overall. The art was good and not the problem here. Checchetto and Co are great!

I'm open to the Guardian Angel angle, but this issue was executed very sloppily. I'm totally confused as to the logistics of the train accident, was that train that derailed over Matt supposed to be the same train that had exploded or a different train? And why have Matt pursue Goldy to the construction site only to lose him "because of the rain?" Daredevil has performed far greater feats of tracking before this, it's a plot hole to have him foiled by a little rain in this moment. It would have been much cleaner writing for Goldy to give Matt the slip while he was pinned in rubble.

The backup story with Zdarski on art and Ann Nocenti writing was nice. It can't be a coincidence that Zdarski brought Typhoid Mary back into the fold and now he's drawing art for her co-creator. I'm guessing he's a fan and that drawing a Nocenti script was a personal milestone for him. Can we bring Nocenti on permanently as a co-writer? more

Nonsensical retcon and forgettable backup story. The best thing about this issue was the cover gallery at the end

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

First Mike Murdoch becomes a real person and now Matt's whole history is revamped in a very unbelievable way. WHYYYYY?

3 só pela arte dos convidados e pela história da Nocenti no final, jesus amado que horror quando isso vai acabar
