    Fantastic issue! Chip is letting all the pots on the stove boil and it is going to be an entertaining disaster in the kitchen. Lots of setup here, but Chip has proven before that he can deliver. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - William Tucker

    Jun 30, 2021

    Daredevil #31 is a phenomenal start to a new arc. With a high tempo and thrilling story, the series shows no sign of slowing down. Characters stride into the comic with a tremendous presence. There are no weak voices, no forgettable faces. The art is sensational and keeps the intense energy going from start to finish. Elektra and Daredevils greatest enemy is loose, and the possibilities of what that can mean are hair-raising. Read Full Review

    For comic book fans of a certain age, Frank Miller's time on Daredevil always features as the best run for this character. I would say however, that Zdarsky is quietly delivering a run that could quite easily be regarded in the same light, at least for this generation of fans. Read Full Review

    Daredevil #31 is incredibly competent superhero comics delivering a middle chapter with style; I won't complain about any of that, even if I won't remember many specifics (beyond Daredevil making a prison warden scream) next month. Read Full Review

    Daredevil #31 is delicately balancing several plotlines at once. While Matt in prison does feel slightly like a retread, this issue begins to develop some urgency for Matt. It's almost like he has something to do besides serving his time. Elektra and Fisk remain the most interesting parts of the comic. The series continues a more grounded Daredevil, not unlike the Netflix series. Read Full Review

    Personally, it was another incredible good delivery, the two DDs each fighting on their own, Electra with her new protégé, Matt now recovered with the offer of the FBI. It was agile, exciting.

    A solid delivery, can Murdock find the proof of all the wrongdoing in the prison? I hope it's soon, I already want to see him out of prison.

    I am very surprised that Marvel let them get away with that final page. Just felt very real, honestly. But yeah, it's Zdarsky's Daredevil. If you aren't already reading this, you should be. If you are, and you don't like it, you're a fool. Oh, and whenever you hear someone spout the narrative that a writer hates the character they're writing, laugh in their misinformed, barely functioning faces, alright?

    Daredevil making the warden scream for help...chills. One of the best moments of this run so far

    AS I COMMENTED IN ANOTHER REVIEW, IT WAS 11:33 PM US Time JUNE 30, GammaBurst and Fmernamz0, this clown couple ALREADY HAD THIS TITLE. Fmernamz0 IS THE SECOND TIME HE DOES IT, THE FIRST TIME IT WAS WITH brzrkr AND HE COWARDLY ERASED IT WHEN HE WAS FACED. With that said, I will rate this incredible DD issue 31 where Zdarky has left a great cliffhanger.

    This issue started off poorly with Matt getting lectured at again (we get it Zdarsky), but then quickly turns itself around into the best issue of Daredevil in months. Matt confronting the warden was great, Zdarsky continues showing his love for Elektra's character, and that Bullseye cliffhanger makes me very excited to read the next issue.

    Great issue and very eventful dynamics between all threads. Wonderful art from Hawthorne with tight inks from DiBenedetto and nice colors from Menyz.

    Matt scaring the shit out of the warden was so satisfying and that last page was crazy.

    Between this tale of two Daredevils comes a story of pent-up aggression ready to burst. Both Matt and Elektra have fumbled in the tasks they done, trying to do things by guidelines. But the status quo's not working out so it's time to go hard. Only the real attraction is a building showdown between rivals for next issue.

    This series is still solid, the new DD losing a bit of strivings, wants an answer and is going to get them. Matt Murdock needs to be more careful with the enemy so close, avoid being assassinated and be very careful with the mayor.

    Bullseye is starting to go crazy even by Bullseye standards, and DD is tracking prison corruption all the way to the top.

    A really good set up issue for the new arc. I love Elektra as Dardevil but, the "woe is me" Matt is getting stale.

    Bullseye starts to run amok while both our Daredevils are busy punching their way to unrelated plot developments. The art's very nicely polished, but it just doesn't stick in my mind. Similarly, the script has no great faults but doesn't wow me. Perhaps it's the way two key scenes (Mike meeting the gangsters and Elektra confronting Izzy) just sorta peter out without decisive conclusions.

    Art is a downgrade obviously, but a good issue. Bullseye going on a killing spree was a cool ending. Perfectly on brand for his character.

    This issue of Daredevil is still the same well written, character heavy superhero drama that I´ve come to know and love. However, it has two little points that irks me and makes it my least favourite Zdarsky Dardevil issue. For one, the ´Bullseye goes on a killing spree with a clear religious connection´ just rub me the wrong way. Makes me uncomfortable. Secondly, the art is noticeably different this issue and I prefer #30´s art. Still a very good issue though, no doubts there.

    In general, this series is usually quite good and Chip Zdarsky is usually excellent in the development of this character, but I am afraid that this number felt like a lot of violence and pointless discussions, I do not know how DD can have the mayor where he wants. Elektra somewhat uncontrolled making a tremendous tantrum because the protégé is traumatized in a totally normal way. Pfff, I hope the next issue is better and gives us a good advance with a little more logic.

    Elektra's story is good, but Matt is an idiot, I think he already goes around in exhausting circles like a dog chasing his tail.
