Daredevil and Echo #3 welcomes back the weirdness. Its just the refresh the miniseries needed, offsetting the exposition of the last issue with action and craziness. Read Full Review
Daredevil & Echo #3 certainly cranks up the action this issue, but it still struggles to find anything interesting for its modern day characters to do. Read Full Review
I think there's a potentially sound cosmic horror story here. But it needs skilled storytelling to make it convincing, and I'm afraid it's just not getting it--not in the prose and not even in the art.
In a similar vein, the storytelling deficits undercut Matt's big sacrificial decision. It should feel momentous and dramatic; instead, it comes across as abrupt and arbitrary.
The creators are reaching for a goal that's impossible to grasp. Matt JUST made the same decision in the main Daredevil title, and even there, with lots more higher-level storytelling work invested, it didn't feel as meaningful as it should.
Daredevil needs to take a break from dying.
