| Happy Matt. |
Daredevil is dead and Matt Murdock couldn't be happier. But life still goes on in Hells Kitchen. With the Kingpin still mayor and Former Chicago PD. Detective Cole still obsessed, nobody can let his memory fade away for long. Matt does his best to put the past behind him, flirting with a local bookstore owner while the NYPD is determined to take matters into their own hands.
 |
| Welcome to New York. |
Feeling things at an impasse, Mayor Fisk steps down from his criminal empire to go straight. Meanwhile people still try to fight crime themselves in Daredevils name. Matt ups the ante with his bookstore crush, accepting an invite to a family dinner date. When he gets there, he realizes he's been conned. The Libris Crime Family confronts the former DA, debating fair crime fighting tactics versus elicit.
 |
| Guess who's coming to dinner. |
Suddenly Matt hears a gun cock, and someone sprays the apartment with bullets while he does his best to save them. Detective Cole questions Matt and explains the perp was killed wearing a Daredevil mask, unknowingly to them by Owlsey.
 |
| Hey, Wolverine just shot that guy. |
With the events of late tearing him apart, Matt debates various friends and family about the existence of God.. which personally to me, is a little heavy for a comic book. And Detective Cole learns the hard way that New York cops mean business. Meanwhile, after a night spent boozing it up, DD makes his return, later returning to Mindy Libris' bookstore for some unexpected hanky panky..
 |
| Geez - this kind of stuff sure didn't happen in your FATHER'S Daredevil books. |
They’re romance is short lived though. As the story comes to an end, Detective Cole’s backstabbing precinct is forced to deal with a problem. His partner, the one the dirty cops beat to try and send a message, has died. They turn off the cameras and clear the station, intending to dole out some oldschool justice. But luckily his nemesis Daredevil rushes to his aid. With the immediate problems solved, Matt turns to his oldest vigilante confidant, Elektra. But what does that mean for the man without fear? We’ll have to wait to find out as this story comes to a conclusion.

I sincerely thought it would take a mountain of a writer to be able to top what Charles Soule did with Daredevil, but I’ll be damned if Chip Zdarsky hasn’t done just that. Although it always irritates me when an editor can’t keep the same artist for the duration of an arc, this one kept Sharma’s pencils for at least 4 of the 5 issues, and my guess is that he had to fight for that. For what it’s worth, it was enough to bolster this story to a brilliant end, and for that, I give this one a 10/10.
