3.0
Spent my evening reading this giant tome, which was like 90% rereading since I read these when they originally came out, and...
Man, Charles Soule's Daredevil run was weird as shit. Not bad necessarily, but weirder than I remembered. I remembered the invisible protege Blindspot, the serial killer Muse... I had forgotten that Soule was part of Marvel's "make fetch happen" project with the Inhumans so there are some weird (but not unwelcome) Inhumans characters playing prominent roles.
But I'd forgotten that he was the one who gave us the explanation for how nobody remembered Daredevil's identity anymore, and while it worked, it's... weird. There's a whole story arc involving Matt taking a case about superhero law to the Supreme Court, and it makes sense, given Soule's background in law, but it's... weird.
Ninjas invade New York City and it's not even the second or third weirdest thing that happens in the book. And he made a lot of changes that Chip Zdarsky ran with, including making Kingpin Mayor of New York and reintroducing Mike Murdock, and the way that dude comes about is also... super weird.
Anyway, not bad... not as good as the Bendis, Brubaker, Waid, or Zdarsky runs, but solid. And weird as shit.
