Daredevil #28

Daredevil #28 is another amazing issue. Combining important social commentary with an investing storyline, Zdarsky and the art team return to their regular plot with ease. At the same time, the consequences of King in Black are heavy and preserving. This is a beautiful character-based comic, focusing heavily on the figures that are driving the story forward. Twinned with the revelations and action, this comic is an emotional rollercoaster. Read Full Review

Chip Zdarsky takes what I considered to be a so-called cooldown issue to reset after the King in Black tie-ins, and uses it as an opportunity to create a very "human" story, albeit with superheroes. The results are that it makes me care even more for the characters and the "world" they live in. Can't wait for the next issue! Read Full Review

This is a spectacular character issue with an interesting development at the end. Zardasky has a lot of plates spinning but he is the master at keeping them all in the air. Read Full Review

The creative team puts together a tour de force issue as the characters have to examine their traumas. Read Full Review

Yet another stirring issue that embraces the superhero genre without denying the maturity of its own subjects. Well done. Read Full Review

The most serious issue in a while, also an issue you can really sink your teeth into. Lots to digest that's gonna make both past and future issues more enjoyable. Buy it! Read it! Read Full Review

Daredevil #28 does a very good job in taking the time to reassert where this series is at after the events of King In Black impact so many different character arcs. While this issue does focus mostly on Matt Murdock's current prison sentence Chip Zdarsky also spends time developing the current arcs of Elektra Natchios as the new Daredevil and Wilson Fisk's current mindset as Mayor of New York City. How all of these developments arc working separately and together is what continues to make Daredevil the top comic book series that Marvel is currently publishing. Read Full Review

An aftermath of King in Black shouldn't be this good. But it is. So good.

even the tie-ins shouldn’t have worked (even though Imo King in black had unusually good tie ins like Black Cat) and yet they did.

SO GOOD. Fantastic issue dealing with mental health and self doubt. It's such strong character work for Elektra, Daredevil, and Kingpin. The ending too is just such a good cliffhanger, I just wish I can read this weekly instead of monthly

Another great issue revolving around Matt, Elektra and Fisk's stories. Glad Checchetto is doing the whole issue.

The masterpiece continues. Zdarsky and checchetto will be known as one of the greatest daredevil creative teams ever

This was like stripping the soul, although Matt is somewhat self-flagellant, someone needs to wake him up, there are sightings that the danger to Electra or Matt is approaching, (mystery music) so it is possible that they are preparing the field for something interesting.

Fantastic issue that touches on some interesting subjects, mainly the flawed prison system that doesn’t do its best to rehabilitate inmates. Zdarsky’s Daredevil continues to be thought-provoking, smart and beautiful. Also damn, Elektra is cold.

Another amazing work of Chip. Yesterday Red Hood, and today Daredevil. Great week.

I was skeptical about how this series was going to work with Daredevil behind bars. We manged to weather King In Black without sabotaging the ongoing plot and now we can concentrate on what a barbaric shit-hole prison really is and Matt has to deal with a new level of guilt, knowing how many people he's sent here. Amazing. Zdarsky, you've done it again!

Really good issue that doesn't pretend that the criminal justice system is equal, the gall of it.

Matt and his supporting cast process their recent traumas. Their disparate stories are tightly stitched together with shared themes, and it's all conveyed with impeccable, unbeatable storytelling. Not a perfect comic -- but almost as close as you'll find crafted by human hands.

Another win as Daredevil really gets put through the paces and is coming out looking like a loser. That shower fight scene, in the aftermath Daredevil should have got shot, if he really wants to experience the full spectrum of the penal system he serves. At least he's experiencing loss after loss,and "seeing" the affects of incarceration on those he gets locked up. This arc is "Empathy For Devils" not Dummies. And damn , that mask must have a must about it, huh ? And here goes Kingpin meddling with another one of Matt's lovers. From Echo , to Mary , and most infamously Elektra - Matt & Fisk really have a certain taste in women. It's almost like Kingpin plays the disapproving father role in Matt's love life. And speaking of Matt's tr ue love (no, not Karen Page), the cover should have spoke more to the contents of the issue. I want to see more Elektra in this, like I want her DD suit to show more skin ! - Audiomack.com/cvrthebard more

Once again, Daredevil is amazing. Good art, very good writing, an interesting direction and lots of focus on character work. Elektra as Daredevil remains intriguing and I can't wait to see what for influence Alice will have on her.

I'm fully onboard this again. Great moments whether you agree or not it is still well crafted with some nice Checchetto art and really good coloring by Menyz.

It was a real good issue. I like kingpin as always. Elektra is finding her way and Matt is just having Matt type problems.

I get that Matt has a perpetually guilty conscience, but it still kinda baffles me that he's feeling guilt over the suicide of a man who was in prison for having murdered two people just because Matt was the one who prosecuted him. First of all, he killed himself, and Matt was even trying to protect him, so the blame in no way falls on him. Secondly, did I mention he was a murderer...? Not to mention a murderer he just met. Anyway, that's a small annoyance, but the rest of this issue was great. I particularly liked Elektra "consoling" Alice and Fisk showing a compassionate side with Mary. Those were cool parallel scenes that showed how these two characters handle trauma in themselves and others differently. Marco Checchetto is still an a rtistic genius. What else is new. more

A pretty good issue but once again I find myself more interested in Elektra and Fisk than I am in Matt's quest to do what he believes is right. I've always enjoyed Fisk and Mary's dynamic and I'm excited to see where Zdarsky is taking them. Looks like Elektra has a new apprentice too. It would've felt weird if Alice was a one-off character since last issue focused so much on her. As for Matt's story, Brubaker did Daredevil in jail so much better than this.

My main problem with this issue is the central thesis that prisons are designed to help the imprisoned. That may be laudable (if oft-underfunded and ignored) side benefit, the main rationale is to Protect Society from the incarcerated. As well as to punish those for their crimes, and act as a deterrent and warning to those tempted to commit crimes. Matt's initial instinct - that he's not above the law and should suffer the consequences of his actions - is correct.

Daredevil Volume: 6, Issue: 28 “Are You Okay?” Publisher: Marvel @marvel Writer: Chip Zdarsky @zdarsky Artist: Marco Checchetto @mchecc18 Colors: Marcio Menyz @mmenyz Letters: Clayton Cowles Cover: Marco Checchetto & Matthew Wilson @colornmatt Following Knull’s invasion of Earth, Wilson Fisk, Elektra and Daredevil all separately contemplate how their actions affect those around them. Wilson struggles with putting Mary in harm's way and shows deep care and concern for her well being. With so many things out of his control, Fisk decides one thing he can control is the fate of his greatest enemy. Elektra contemplates her place in a world where she must stand up for the weak. Meanwhile, Daredevil’s personal reasons for imp risonments are challenge and he finds his back pushed to the wall when an inmate personally sent there by him commits suicide. Fellow inmate Marcus, sensing his turmoil, sits with Matt to help him cope with the loss when Matt suddenly senses he’s been poisoned. I’ve always thought Daredevil books had the greatest artwork and this series is no exception. The artistic team kills it time and time again. Kind of ironic considering the title character is blind. But I feel like that has always been the case when it comes to Daredevil books. This series has been outstanding since the get go. Everyone needs to be reading this book.

Daredevil is still my favorite book coming from Marvel. However Elektra as Daredevil and Matt being in jail is slowly starting to grow stale for me.

I'm really tired of Zdarsky shitting on Matt 24/7.

what an idiotic thing to say, people like you shouldn’t be allowed to leave reviews (and yours isn’t even a review)

Hayskai - Mar 10, 2021

Facts Aleyuma. Don't think he understands that Daredevil is always being shitted on and that's what makes his stories so great.

aleyuma - Mar 10, 2021

exactly, name one run (Miller, Bendis, Brubacker) where that doesn’t happen, this one is almost universally considered the current best comic on shelf and i highly doubt that is because everyone suddenly became stupid.

Merlyn - Mar 10, 2021

There's doing that in an interesting way and there's doing that in a stupid way and repeatable way and Zdarsky's doing it the second way. Also, I'm not going to allow a moron who rates everything with 10 to comment further on my posts, Hayskai. Please stop yourself so I don't have to stop you.

Merlyn - Mar 10, 2021

Well, aleyuma, what if I don't allow you anymore to comment on my reviews? Since you're so eager to call for censorship.

Merlyn - Mar 10, 2021

Zdarsky's themes throughout all his run are white guilt and white privilege, that's all he has to say about Matt. I'm sorry to say but if you dare to compare this with Miller's, Bendis' or Brubaker's work on the character, you're the one with the idiotic comments. Soule's run was better than this, for sure.

aleyuma - Mar 11, 2021

unfortunately for you all anti-sjw youtube channels still praise this comics so your argument doesn’t hold up.

Merlyn - Mar 11, 2021

I don't care about that so my argument still holds up, tough luck.

aleyuma - Mar 11, 2021

well, enjoy being in the insignificant minority.

Hayskai - Mar 11, 2021

Hey, the reason to why I rate a comic a 10 is because I genuinely believe its a 10. And if I don't think its a 10, then I just don't rate it. Plain and simple.

Merlyn - Mar 11, 2021

No, I'm not the insignificant minority because for all the people like you who drool on this book, there are a lot who already gave up on it. Notice how there aren't a lot of reviews here on this book, that's because a lot of people don't care about it. So, if anything, I'm in the majority actually.

Psycamorean - Mar 15, 2021

Daredevil actually gets a good amount of reviews, compared to the rest of the releases every week. But when your biggest fear is being the minority, you must convince yourself that you're not.

Merlyn - Mar 15, 2021

Depends on what releases you're comparing it with. If I compare it with Batman, X-Men, Immortal Hulk or Tom King books it usually gets less attention. But of course you don't care about that, you're just here to make it look like this is sooo great when it's really not. And honestly I don't really care if I'm in the minority or not, the book is still not good and few people talk about it.

Psycamorean - Mar 15, 2021

You mean the top sellers? Yeah I wonder why those have more reviews.

Merlyn - Mar 16, 2021

I mean, if it was THAT GOOD, wouldn't it rise to the top sellers' number of reviews? Hulk isn't necessarily a bigger character than DD, but people love it a lot more than they do Zdarsky's DD.
