Dec 28, 2015The story's just getting started, so it remains to be seen if this story will reach the heights of Miller's run - but it's off to a good start. Read Full Review

Dec 23, 2015One of the many early successes of Charles Soule and Ron Garney's new Daredevil run is that they're building up a villain who shows strong potential to run with the greats. This issue is a proper showcase for Tenfingers, both in terms of the threat he poses to New York and the charisma he possesses that enables him to draw so many into his fold. Read Full Review

Dec 25, 2015Aside from the awkward ending this is turning into my favorite All-New All-Different series. Eye popping art, a unique villain and a new job for Daredevil means fresh, fun stories. Read Full Review

Dec 28, 2015"Daredevil" #2 is an issue readers will appreciate more and more with every read. It doesn't look like anything else on the market, and the story has a spring in its step that is pleasantly unexpected. "Daredevil" had a dynamite creative team on its previous series, and it's great to see this new series continue that tradition. Read Full Review

Dec 30, 2015I’m beyond stoked to see what Soule has coming up next, especially since the trial has taken some turns here and there. Soule has pleasantly surprised me with some of the best Daredevil material I’ve read in quite a long time. If you’re a fan of the hero, this series is a must-read. Read Full Review

Jan 19, 2016I wouldnt say that the new Daredevil is hitting on all cylinders yet, but Daredevil #2 is an improvement in a lot of ways from what I found to be an okay first issue. There are still some areas of concern, such as occasionally clunky or cheesy dialog. Also, it might be hard for longtime readers of Daredevil to accept that his identity is now a secret again post-Secret Wars because it feels like a backwards move. Still, there is enough in Daredevil #2 to hint that this could turn into a strong crime/suspense story with elements of the supernatural. Read Full Review

Jan 05, 2016We'll see if the return of The Hand, and the legion of magic ninjas the group can bring to bear on both Tenfingers and the Man Without Fear, can breathe a little life into the new series. Hit-and-Miss. Read Full Review

Garney's art really grew on me this issue and Soule writes perfect dialogue for the characters. I love how Soule has returned Daredevil to his dark roots after Waid's run made him a more jovial character

Another great issue! This is the most I have enjoyed Daredevil in a few years and I am looking forward to each issue. Not sure what to think of Blindspot yet...but everything else is great.

Enjoyed this one better than the opening issue. The art is still really good and the story looks to full of potential. Tenfingers is a bit of a lame name for a villain though.

Daredevil: the man without fair. I'm really enjoying Soule's writing, and Garney's art is very solid.

All things considered? A bit lackluster so far. At this point, if I feel the need to re-read Daredevil and I'm in a hurry, I'd pick up a Mark Waid issue before picking the current ones.

Some things about this issue don't work. Ten fingers shrugs off that he was disobeyed (making him a pussy excuse for a villain) and the confrontation at the end couldn't be more rushed: Matt and Blindspot just appear in the evil hideout, no trouble gaining entry. And there isn't even a fight before the Hand jumps in, coincidentally at the same time Matt gets there. Had Soule just cut out that pointless training scene and expanded on the end scene more, this would have worked better. I'm still enjoying the comic overall, including the artwork, it's just a little sloppy in the execution.

I wanted to like this book more than I actually have. The creative team is good and DD has had some positive momentum. I have been a fan of Ron Garney's art, but the look of this book is just different enough to throw me off. I do think it fits very well with the content and it's growing on me. The villain, however, is difficult to take seriously. I am interested to see where it goes with the reveal in this issue.

Many heroes are defined by their adversaries, but I'm not convinced as yet about the villiany of Tenfingers for Daredevil. The addition of the Hand may prove interesting. I hope for the subtraction of Blindspot as he seems more of a liability for Soule's storytelling. This issue also suffered from not further developing Matt's relationship with Foggy. However, it's early days for the storyline, so time will tell.
