Daredevil by Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark was amazing. I loved all three collections and the run as a whole.
The last few stories I love in their own way.
The first one is where when Matt's at another low so the investigator Murdock and Nelson have hired pulls him in on a case that comes from Luke Cage with a man confessing to a brutal murder he didn't commit and the intrigue only goes deeper as the web spins and spins.
The second is Lady Bullseye. A member of the hand inspired by Bullseye who's taken with superheros as the hand is reforming itself.
And the last and very likely my favorite is The Return of the King. Wilson Fisk comes back in a big way and major consequences stem as a result of him and Daredevil coming at each other again.
The art is really good throughout. I appreciate the lack of two page spreads even if I miss them. It uses shadows very well and the stylized lack of detail at times is striking.
And the writing is concentrated and taking no prisoners. You'll feel the grief and weight of Matt's life and you'll so deeply want him to win but the cost of that is great and Matt will hit another lowpoint at the very end leading into Shadowland before Mark Waids run.
All in all fantastic and it may be my favorite work on the character as I loved each issue and each story gave me new thing and more appreciation for hornhead.
5 stars.
