    Daredevil #14 is superhero comics at their best; every panel of every page is crucial. I cannot recommend this series enough. It's earning its place among the longtime character's essential reading. If you haven't read the 13 issues leading up to this, do yourself a favor and go back, it's well worth your time. Daredeveil is easily one of the best comic books of 2016. Read Full Review

    With Daredevil #14, writer, Charles Soule has come into his own on this title. I hope he can keep it going, because this is a fantastic and disturbing read. It reminds me of the gritty take Frank Miller had on Daredevil in the 80's, but Soule takes it further, to a place that is darker and could potentially eclipse Miller's work. I can't wait to see what comes next. Read Full Review

    Capping off the series' strongest arc to date, Charles Soule delivers a gripping finale with issue #14. Read Full Review

    If the February solicitations are any indication as to what the future holds for this little sub-universe, I'm thinking that there's going to be some good times ahead for the Daredevil side of the house. If you've dropped off from reading Daredevil lately, I think now would be a great time to jump back on the trolley! Read Full Review

    I like the stories (mostly), though the latest story arc (which wraps up in this issue) is too dark, dismal and bloodthirsty for my tastes. Read Full Review

    This title is running on full cylinders and with more folks looking at DD for the first time thanks to the hit Netflix series, this is a great way to hook in new fans. Read Full Review

    I dont know if Soule is continuing on Daredevil after this issue. Regardless of whom the writer will be, there appears to be a somewhat new status quo. I would imagine that Daredevil will be back on his own. Thats not a bad thing but it still seems odd that we never really learned why he took on training Blindspot in the first place. Maybe that will come out eventually. We also dont know how Daredevil made his identity a secret again, though Soule has been teasing that story, too. Soules run so far has been uneven, so Im not opposed to him going in a different direction. Daredevil appears to be in for some changes. Read Full Review

    Daredevil and Blindspot may have won the battle against Muse, but the super-villains actions of blinding Blindspot seem to have given Muse the ultimate victory. We'll see if Inhuman science can do anything for the would-be super-hero, but for now Matt Murdock is left with a hollow victory which feels like failure. Then of course there will be the repercussions of all his super-heroing. Will his work at the District Attorney's office be the next thing to implode? For fans. Read Full Review

    Dark Art was a huge in many ways. There was huge character development, a new villain who I hope returns in a big way, and a tragedy involving Daredevil's sidekick. The casino arc was my favorite before, but this just topped it and I can't wait to see Muse again, very joker-esque except not obsessed with his hero nemesis.

    Wow...incredible issue. Muse is one of the coolest original villains in modern comics. This arc was amazing, and this issue was the crown jewel.

    Daredevil 14 does everything right and it's easily the darkest issue yet. What started off horribly in Daredevil 10 ends with the best issue yet in issue 14. Blindspot better be ok!!!

    [ART: 9.4 | STORY: 8.3 | WRITING: 8.8 | TOTAL: 8.8 (~9)] One of, if not, my favourite chapter in the series thus far. I've finally warmed up to Ron Garney's art and I think that it is perfect for this issue. Muse is a great villain in my eyes and really bolstered my enjoyment of this arc. Soule's script is full of great moments that play out well. This chapter has me excited for Daredevil's direction in the upcoming issues.

    Aside from the 70's Casino romp that was Daredevil #9, this was the best issue of Charles Soule's Daredevil run thus far. This is the vision that Soule & Garney had for DD, yet, because of a few missteps and false starts along the way, was unclear until now. Which is funny because so much of what Muse strives for in this issue can work as an allegory for Soule /Garney as artists, as well. There's definitely a meta-theme here about the nature of inspiration and the sacrifices one must make to create something truly original. And yes, Muse is still sick and psychotic, but he stands out as a compelling villain because, in his mind, he is not a villain. He is merely an obsessed artist cultivating creativity wherever it may be found--dam more

    I didn't see a development like this coming with Blindspot, I wonder what this means for his character. This is, by far, the best arc of Soule's run on DD so far. Muse is an excellent and original character and is ripe for reuse in later stories. I hope Soule has more original characters in store for us. It is a bit of a let down the way that Muse is apprehended, the drama between Daredevil and him hit such a high, but then it stalled out when the Inhumans took over.

    Some of the art drawn here by Garney will live rent-free in my head for a while.
