“My name is Matt Murdock. When I was a kid, God gave me a gift. He took my sight, but he gave me the world. Every sound, every smell, every texture—he made me feel everything.

Starts to illuminate Zdarsky’s larger story, and it remains as strong as the previous volumes.

While Matt and Elektra play Robin Hood and rob the Stromwyns, Hammerhead and The Owl are making moves in Hell's Kitchen. When they butt heads, will there be anything left of Hell's Kitchen to fight over?

In this volume, Daredevil is reborn, or Born Again (get it?) as a crime fighter. After a caper with Electra, Hell's Kitchen heats up and it's up to Matt, Cole North, and a handful of Hell's Kitchen's denizens to keep what's theirs. I was so engrossed in this story that I didn't even notice the shift from Jorge Fornes to Marco Checchetto on art. Both them paint a dark, gritty picture of Hell's Kitchen.

Anyway, Zdarsky continues his hot streak on this one. He makes Stilt-Man seem credible, writes a great Bullseye, and even brings an old villainess back into the picture. All the shit hits all the fans at the end and I wasn't completely sure Daredevil would actually walk out. I mean, logically I knew he would but there was still a heaping helping of uncertainty. The last page of the penultimate issue in this trade made me grin from ear to ear. If I had one gripe about this trade, it's that the final battle seemed a little rushed but I prefer that to dragging it out over another issue.

In the age of decompression, Chip Zdarsky has managed a complete tear down and rebuild of Daredevil in under two years and is easily a top tier Daredevil creator. Five out of five billy clubs.

It finally feels like all the threads from Zdarsky's run were tied together by issue 20, culminating in an awesome battle for Hell's Kitchen.

We're so back.
