Quick read, and surprising. Art was good but nothing especially noteworthy. Interesting story with an interesting villain. Check it out if you like Daredevil. I found I liked Blindspot quite a lot.

I wasn't a fan of the start of this run. It takes place after Mark Waid's arc and just resets everything without explanation. But this volume, as a standalone story, was really intense and well done.

Pretty good. I enjoyed the art, and the new villain's costume was striking.
For some reason the story didn't thrill me as much as I'd like, although I enjoyed individual components, such as Blindspot's continued development.

This one gets an extra star because it's gory as hell. When did the comics code stop keeping me safe from shit like this!?

Fantastic. I'm hooked on Soule's Daredevil. It has a classic Frank Miller feel to it. The art by Garney and Milla is spectacular and the lettering by Cowles is top notch.

Wow, huge improvement from volume 2. Daredevil and Blindspot are back, and Blindspot is taking a more prominent role in this story (hooray!).

This story gets pretty dark, but in a way that I just couldn't stop reading. Blindspot I think sells the story, as Daredevils "I'm a hero, but it hurts my personal life, and I have no humor" gets a little old, but when contrasted with the optimism and naivete of Blindspot it works great.

Really has me excited for volume 4!

Not a big fan of the Matt Murdock as ADA and no one knows him as Daredevil anymore. But I like Blindspot some. So this book was kind of a surprise, readable and interesting if kind of gory . I expected less from the Inhumans as well but instead the former cop added a certain amount. The book did feel that it was missing a certain amount of depth probably because the side cast has essentially been purged. In any case good but not great. 3.5 of 5.

2.5 but rounded up to 3. the inhuman stuff wasn't really my thing, but i liked getting to know more about blindspot. i never took matt as someone who would take on apprentice, but you can tell that he really cares about sam.

first two volumes are a little slow but it's picking up here (i hope). i wanted to read waid's daredevil before i started with this run but i only managed to get my hands on the copies for this run so this has been slightly disorienting to me. matt's character is yet to be developed, the split between his day-job and daredevil is (imo) not in sync yet so i hope there will be more intrigue and exciting things going on in both his lawyer duties and his vigilante persona.
