Rated T+
The Wages of Sin Equal Death is a strong issue that pays off on many of the plot threads we have seen over the past 9 issues. I loved the confrontation at the start where Jason calls Matt out for lying about his secret identity. It will be interesting to learn what happened to Jason's father when Matt eventually catches up with him. If indeed he is in any shape to do so. The confrontation between Daredevil and Fisk is nicely done and as you'd expect. We get some great dialogue between the two as they duke it out. Read Full Review

Summary
Matt and El more
I thought this issue was maybe the best one in a while. It felt badass seeing Kingpin do what he does, and I'm curious to how this identity storyline will play out.
I have liked this run, but sometimes it moves at a snail’s pace. This is one of those times, with only a couple developments in a largely decompressed issue.
