Don't miss out on this issue that sets the stage for the new era of Daredevil. I am so surprised by the events here, and that they didn't use this in the milestone #1 or #650 issues. Zdarsky has taken us through hell what's next? It starts here! Read Full Review

De Latorre brilliantly captures the power of the characters as well as the danger of both the setting and the stakes of the story.  Read Full Review

Daredevil #4 feels like a minor, quiet issue where not much happens, but looks can be deceiving. Characters grow, Daredevil and Elektra take significant steps, and the tension of a brewing war between the Fist and the Hand is in the air. Read Full Review

Daredevil #4 is a splendidly constructed issue that will leave readers wanting a lot more of Daredevil-does-epic-fantasy. Read Full Review

Daredevil #4 does what has to be done at some point in any story featuring a major transition: move from the old to the new. To his credit, Zdarsky has laid enough groundwork that the idea of the transition works well. Unfortunately the issue that has to make this leap isnt as successful. But given the strength of the previous issues, I expect this to be more of a blip caused by the demands of these particular plot points. Read Full Review

Masterpiece

If you're not reading Daredevil after sleeping on Volume 7, I still dont know what to tell you. Zdarksy's Daredevil is incredible and only getting better.

I still don't get the bad reviews on this book.

The writer I wanted in Nightwing showing why I wanted him in Nightwing.

I thought I would miss Checchetto but Latorre has great art too. And Zdarsky always delivers.

This sets the stage for the upcoming events/war. This book moves us out of the past events and really starts putting in motion Elektra and matt's war on the hand. Major character moments for Matt and Elektra. I love how it's Matt Elektra and stick that will lead the fist even if Matt wasn't thrilled to see him lol. Anticipation is very high for me as this is shaping up to be a phenomenal daredevil story.

This series is still in its setup phase for the new arc but what we are getting si some awesome setup with fantastic art. Theres a fill in for this issue, and he works spectacularly.

The script is ever on point with Matt Murdocks conflicted love and daunting stakes ahead.

I just hope the actual threat looming towards them is worth all this.

It's still moving ponderously, taking itself a little too seriously, but it IS moving forward. That's good.

Cole North and his outsider perspective are vital. I know it's a classic narrative trick (a good alternative to exposition), but that doesn't mean it doesn't work.

The art isn't Checchetto-detailed, but it's incredibly dynamic. That comes in handy for all of this issue's non-verbal storytelling.

Awe, so romantic. I think I can honestly say this is my favorite comic book wedding... Cuz it was a low bar... Get it?

It's not bad. Maybe I am just not feeling the book as much as I used to. It's got a pretty good plot, I just feel like I'm not clicking with the direction.

Art: 4/5
Story: 3/5
Total: 7/10
