Daredevil #20 acts as a place for the series to catch its breath after some major storylines. Unfortunately, it does this by kicking off a new story arc in an unexciting way that feels like it's more concerned with its homages to eras gone by. Read Full Review
Plot
Matt wakes up in the arms of Nyla, an old love whose chemistry is unsustainable. She lives in the Property Tower, where Matt currently resides while he sorts out his life after returning to his legal profession.
But Matt is still focused on Elektra and the case she's investigating about Wilson Fusk's disappearance after being exorcised from the demon of greed. Kingpin gave away all his fortune and disappeared, repenting of all his life as a criminal.
Leaving Nyla's apartment, Matt runs into a woman worried about her daughter's disappearance named Sayeda, so he puts on his new BLACK ARMOR suit because his super-sensitive skin can't stand the red suit with all its rips and wear.
Matt intrigues and us more
I really, and I mean REALLY like the art here. And one thing about Daredevil is that he does have consistent runs. This run isn't ground-breaking, but its entertaining.
Finally! An issue of DD that doesn't suck! Can't remember the last time I said that.
While not the greatest thing, it was nice to move on from that long ass arc. The ending was pretty cool.
I am so glad the Seven deadly sins arc is over with. The new storyline is weird in a good way and actually has me intrigued. Art is great too IMO. The reason I’m still giving it a low score is for a few reasons:
-It took 20 issues to get to a new storyline
-I think the black armor suit is unnecessary and simply there just to shake things up
-Matt and Foggy just not speaking anymore again
-As predicted, Matt’s resurrection has been completely brushed over and we still haven’t learned how he came back besides “god did it”
For anyone that’s read this far, who would you like see write/draw for DD next?
