You can thank editorial for that. Althought I haven't read this event, it feels as if it got the same deal as Absolute Carnage: could've been a crossover with Spider-Man at most but ended up being bigger than it had to be.
Wilson Fisk's hubris as mayor of New York has cast the city in the waiting arms of a cadre of dangerous and deadly super villains! Worse still, Fisk's vendetta against the heroes who have stood against him for so long has left the city defenseless. You may think you've heard a tale like this before, but there will be no last minute bargains struck between Fisk and the heroes, no truce to stop the fighting and no mutual parting of the ways. Just blood, sweat and tears! Trust us, True Believer, you have NO IDEA what's coming - or the effect it will have on the Marvel Universe!

Devil's Reign #6 is a great ending. While I wish it was a bit more self-contained, it's set up of what's to come doesn't quite make you feel like you absolutely need to continue. With one more follow up issue to come, the event is one of the best Marvel has recently released keeping things compact, focused, and delivering actual emotional punches. While in the end the good guys win and the future seems brighter, it's also a reminder that even in victory it doesn't mean justice will completely prevail. Read Full Review

Zdarsky and company pack the Devil's Reign finale to the brim with the right bits it needs to end up as a suitable finale. Read Full Review
Ultimately your enjoyment of this issue will depend on how much you've enjoyed the ride to get here. The series always had a slightly "been there done that" feel since it follows a similar premise to Civil War, i.e. illegal superheroes. Devil's Reign never quite feels like a universe-changing event, though, with lower stakes and a general feel as a chapter in Zdarsky and Checchetto's excellent Daredevil run. For that reason, this series ends on a note that is incredible if you've liked their run but leaves you wanting if you're looking for more. Read Full Review
The results of the title match will divide fans on how a story like this should close out, and things were a tad too tidy by the turn of the last page; however, it was a fun ride to get there. Despite Marco Checchetto's gorgeous artwork all throughout this 6-issue run, we won't be calling Devil's Reign the book that erased the bad taste Civil War II left in fan's mouths like I once hoped, but it is one that will allow fans to keep saying Daredevil always has the best written stories in Marvel.

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire story and the ending has me beyond excited for the next chapter for Matt and Elektra
i screamed
Once this series finally shook off the dreck of being a Civil War retread, it found its way back to being Zdarsky's Daredevil — which I'd much rather read than Civil War. This was a deeply satisfying conclusion to an uneven mini, and I'm excited to get back to the good stuff.
Zdarksy delivers.
Ending of Event that lands well. Hmmm.
Enjoyed The Event. Art is absolutely Gorgeous.
BTW, Chechetto never ceases to amaze me by how gorgeous she draws Elektra.
Excited for Relaunch. Though don't really understand why but excited to read what comes next with Fist, Hand, Daredevil. Would Chip use Punisher in next run as he is also associated with Hand currently, I wonder. 🤔🤔
It's a good ending. I do think Devils Reign wasn't needed overall. That could have found a different way to get the same result. The story within the story was good when it came to Fisk and Daredevil.
A really solid event satisfying end to fisk's arc and beginning to matt's. Cant wait so see where this goes
I really enjoyed this event and how it resolves daredevil and kingpin. Good art too
I was not a fan of how Elektra was written, her dialogue just wasn't there for me. I found the ending predictable, but the flip side of that is that Zdarsky had a goal in mind and made it happen.
Good but I think this normal arc would have been more enjoyable as a tight one instead of an event spread out all over. I found myself not caring about many characters here. I'll see what happens in the relaunch and reassess. Checchetto and Menyz are good as always!
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS:
It was a good issue, but...
1) There was the old trope of the hero about to kill the bad guy and being talked out of it by a cohort.
2) If charges against Fisk weren't dropped, how did he leave the country so easily?
3) He must be extremely confused about killing Matt Murdock and having Daredevil show up. And now he just forgets about it and gives up on getting vengeance?
4) Daredevil spent a considerable portion of his latest run in prison for killing someone. Supposedly he learned to be a "better" Daredevil, but this last issue undoes any progress he may have made in this regard, and his teaming with Elektra to "save the world" seems to indicate he will be more reckless and extr more
This issue by itself was a solid turning point in Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil saga, closing off some plotlines while opening the door for others, but Devil's Reign as a whole absolutely did not need to be an event. This whole arc was all about Matt and Wilson, and bringing in the rest of the Marvel universe did the pacing no favors.
great. electra explaining matt to get him in controll was great!
