Fantastic art and a great way to recontextualize older issues
Not a bad beginning at all. Just like in Blue and Grey we have Matt mourning his fallen love Karen and it makes him to go through his past since the very beginning. Well, I'm glad that we didn't have another Spider-Man's origin in Blue, but Daredevil doesn't have that many origin flashbacks as him, so I'm totally fine with it being in this book. This is pretty cinematographic in storytelling and visually Tim Sale's style is something that was literally meant to be in comics. Yeah, yeah, might be another reason to say something like "RIP Tim Sale", but I think it's already redundant - the guy's work will live forever and the fact that we all come back to these books after all these years just proves it. He fucking lives!

There's nothing not to love here. The art and story flow and blend so beautifully. It's not the best rendition of the Daredevil origin but it's still fantastic. Sale's use of shadow puts you into the gritty world that Matt inhabits in Hell's Kitchen. The knockout of Creek by Battlin' Jack is also one of Sale's best spreads.
