Loved this book. Reminds me of Dark Knight Returns crossed with 12 Monkeys. The art is spectacular, 10/10 and the writing is great too. I think I read the original but honestly don't remember for sure. This grabbed me from the start, though. Kaare Andrews is probably the most underrated artist today.

I actually liked the story itself, but the issue felt like intended specifically for fellow comic book creators and the old guard of comic book review sites who bend over backwards to applaud creators no matter wha, in order to keep their connections. The book came off as self-flattering and self-indulgent in its execution. At the end of the day this was a cookie-cutter “women who were seen as r more

It may well be that industry insiders love this book, and from the people I’m talking g to this is probably a hit with industry outsiders too! I thought it was incredible. Sexy, beautiful, and well written. Everyone should pick up a copy. It’s worth the $9

I dunno. I think DD's gone over the deep end. "Everybody's looking for us" Elektra tells Matt, and the next thing he does is take his group of on the lam supervillains out in public to stop a landlord from evicting tenants? And beating up law enforcement? And then it all turns out to be unnecessary because Matt Murdock got a court order stopping the eviction anyway. (When? How? Matt hasn't been la more

BETRAYAL! As Daredevil, both Elektra and Matt Murdock have made a home for super villains at the new stronghold of the Fist. But not everyone they've welcomed shares their vision for how things should be done. In this issue, that's going to cost them - and put them on a collision course with the rest of the Marvel Universe!

superstan52 highlights why personal politics should be left out of a title like Daredevil. Real world politics place the story in the real world and makes the suspension of disbelief difficult. I’ve loved Zdarsky’s Daredevil run up until this point. This issue was bad. I expect the next will pick up again. It’s ok that Zdarsky wrote a bad issue. They aren’t all going to be good

Zdarsky seems to be stretched too thin. This issue does little more than express Zdarsky’s personal politics. The plot does not move forward in any way, and his politics are expressed in a logically inconsistent way, which is pretty annoying. IMHO - politics should be left out of ongoing series like Daredevil. Leave personal politics for indies, anthologies and limited series

The book literally tells you thats what its saying though. Matt straight up says thats what he's trying to avoid. The whole moral foundry of daredevil the line between what he does to help people and what lines he crosses to do it

With now dropping DD, I’m down to worlds finest. ONE BOOK on my pull list, the lowest it’s ever been, keep putting politics in books I’ll just drop new books altogether
