Overall MacKay does an outstanding job of crafting a detailed psychological profile of Matt Murdock and Daredevil. He takes the time to present us with ideas, concepts, and relationships that are absolutely elevated the moment you put the issue down and start to actually think on what you just read and saw. MacKay leaves you with ideas that take root and start to blossom the moment you begin to dissect and analyze not just their meaning but their relationship to Daredevil as a character. I absolutely think he has yet again knocked the ball out of the park and given us a fantastic commentary on the internal struggles of superheroes. Im excited for issue #3 and to continue seeing what MacKay delivers with this absolute gem of a series. Read Full Review

While still a great issue this follow-up definitely has a few hiccups. It's always great to see DD's fairly limited supporting cast show up, as most of his acquaintances are heroes in their own right too big to be part of another's ensemble. Read Full Review

Still reflecting on a lifetime of regrets and pain, Man Without Fear leaves reader wondering if Matt can even recover from this life, or if this book is paving the way for a legacy character to take the role. Either way, the rest of this series should be fascinating. Read Full Review

I mentioned last time that this is a regular part of the Daredevil ebb and flow. The journey from low point to fighting shape is a normal hero troupe but it is always the perfect time for a reflection on the core of the character. While long time readers can tire of this, I'm glad newer comic nerds inspired by the Netflix show get to experience it here. The highlight of this rendition is the same as last issue in the horrifying embodiment of Daredevil's fear. The low point is the artist's decision (bizarrely unlike the last issue) to make Foggy look exactly like the Netflix show's character. Creative choices aside, though, I enjoy taking the trip through this super hero journey's trough. Read Full Review

This issue is good enough to pass some time but does make it hard for the readers to invest themselves in buying this book every month. Though slow-paced, MacKay does an excellent job diving inside Murdock's mind and telling the not so compelling story. Read Full Review

This book has me optimistic about the future of Daredevil, and hopefully we see more pieces fall into place for the future soon. Read Full Review

Yeah this was good. I liked the art more, though Foggy seemed off. The narration took a little bit to understand but you figure it out before the reveal. Everything here feels like a Daredevil story for better or worse. It is predictable but in a way that you are comfortable with. Matt can't choose to be happy and that's his entire problem, will always be his problem. The Man Without Fear fears the most.

I thought this was a really good issue. The only problem with this type of book is that it needs to have killer art to go with the story being told, I think. To really be able to emphasize the struggle the protagonist is going through. And this issue doesn't have it, at least not for the quiet moments that make up the majority of the issue! When the creepy Bone-Daredevil shows up, it starts to look better. A lot of this issue focuses on Kirsten, who was basically absent from the last 4 years of Daredevil, aside from one arc. While it's nice to finally put a cap on that lingering thread, it didn't really seem all that necessary. What's more interesting is how Matt struggles with his crippled body. We got that really great final moment at the end of Daredevil #612 where he doesn't give in but now he actually has to deal with the recovery process and of course, he has moments of doubt and decides Daredevil is over. But then Bone-Daredevil shows up as a villain and torments him with his own fears to the point where he gives up what could be a happy life because of all the what ifs and becomes once again Daredevil, the hero all the readers want to see. And that's pretty insightful, in my opinion. That's a cool idea. The only reason I don't absolutely love this issue is because of the art, honestly. The writing works for me, 100%. The art just isn't that good. more

This story is from the "doubt I should be a superhero anymore" trope. The narrator is the deceased Karen Page, which I thought was strange. I didn't care for the artwork in the first two issues. Foggy looked like Meatloaf. Kirsten looked like a completely different character.

I actually prefer the character development that came before the fever dreams.

I thought this was actually pretty neat, nice way of looking at the character.
