    All the writers and artists on this book do a great job. I found the first two stories to be the most in line with the books current storylines and truly enjoyed those. But even the stories that stepped out of that mold were a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the final story, which was about Electra rescuing an old mans dog from some thugs. The old man thanks Electra and makes a really important point about the value of connection and family. Read Full Review

    Daredevil #8's ending is so big that it can have consequences that go beyond this series. That alone makes this a must read for Marvel fans. Read Full Review

    What a way to turn 60 years old and not look stale; the current creative team shares the anniversary with classic and new creators. Introductory Rites adds layers to Murdock's struggles, making the wait harder as interest builds. The added characters are more good stuff in this wild buffet. The extra adventures take us to eras of Daredevil that should bring a smile to any era fan's face. Here's to more than 60 years of the Man Without Fear! Read Full Review

    Daredevil #8 celebrates Horn Head's 60th Anniversary with an 80-page anthology froman assortment ofwriters, including a continuation of the main title. Ironically, the least of these is the main story unveiling the mastermind behind the Heat, but overall, this is a serviceable read. Read Full Review

    It's fun jumping back into different points in the comic's history (always a trip when they break out the yellow suit), but the current run still feels like it's trying to find its momentum. Had this anniversary fallen during the Chip Zdarsky run, I imagine we'd be looking at a much different special. Read Full Review

    The main ongoing is still on the weak side, but this big issue was consistent in quality across the various stories.

    Caught up to this series, and guess what? The Daredevil consistent streak of good quality runs strike again... On a side note, I like Saladin Ahmed's voice for Matt Murdock, and Aaron Kuder's art for action set pieces.

    I have come to really love Kuder’s art on this book! And I also quite like where Ahmed is taking his story, though I have very mixed feelings on the ending.

    Spoilers!!!

    I’m a bit disappointed to see Kingpin return, and it’s especially odd since he said he was giving up crime during the Gang War event, and since he’s been busy as the White King in X-Men. Maybe he’s possessed by a demon or something, but that wouldn’t really make sense, because in the Daredevil Gang War series we saw that The Heat was in Hell’s Kitchen before Daredevil’s resurrection, so Kingpin couldn’t have formed the Heat after being possessed by a demon. We’ll see what happens, I still really like what Ahmed is doing, I just think more

    I had a decent time with all the stories except the turk one. Even the little comic strips were pretty good. Even though I enjoyed, it didn't really wow me into feeling great about a random 10 dollar issue.

    Extremely forgettable landmark issue, Marvel doesn't even try nowadays, the best part was the cover gallery
