This series continues to be unbelievable. Can't wait to read the next volume. ( )

A thrilling climax to the complicated web that has been woven in the past few volumes! ( )

Wow, I guess I was pretty right about this being Daredevi: RIP! Mark Waid and Chris Samnee are basically perfect at everything they do here and I love it. ( )

This is the fifth volume of Waid's turn on Daredevil, and I think his best TPB 'til now. In it the storyline of who's screwing with Daredevil gets resolved and in a very awesome way.

In retrospect, thinking of everything that happened in some of the previous TPBs, who was behind it did make perfect sense. Hindsight is always 20/20 in comics.

I also liked how much Foggy/Matt stuff there was in this TPB (not to mention the Foggy/kids stuff). Waid does the relationships and all their craziness so well. Even if the twist that was given to Foggy was depressing.

Overall it was a great TPB, although I didn't totally love the art. ( )

The Superior Spider-Man makes a cameo as he’s tasked with bringing the seemingly insane Daredevil to justice. The only problem? Long forgotten bad guy Stilt Man is terrorizing Manhattan! Can Spider-Man put aside his prime directive and team up with Daredevil to take down the sinister slinky? Plus, Matt Murdock receives some very distressing news about his best friend Foggy. Will Matt be able to hold it together and be there for his friend or will his alter-ego keep him from standing by Foggy’s side?

As I've said before, Waid has been pushing Murdock to his absolute limit during his time with the character. He’s had Daredevil show great courage in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds but on this occasion, it’s not Daredevil that needs to stand tall, it’s Matt.

There’s some fantastic storytelling with some real emotional depth here. Waid explores the other side of being a superhero; what it means to be there for those who deeply care for you, putting aside rushing off to perform your duty to the masses. It’s worth noting that Waid isn’t climbing onto a soapbox and dictating what’s more important, the needs of the few or the needs of the many, but is trying to put a more human face on the costumed crusader.

This has been a pretty good series up to this point. There have been a few bumps in the road along the way but otherwise consistent overall. Now that I've caught up, I’ll have to start getting the monthly issues. ( )
