I wouldn't mind seeing this artist on DD again. I do think there was some corny dialogue, but the part with Kingpin was pretty sweet. Overall, probably one of the weakest Daredevil runs I've personally read. Hope we get someone to bring it back to the high level the character has been accustomed to for the past 27 years.
