    Black Nerd Problems - Brandon Lawrence

    Feb 01, 2019

    So Daredevil's back in action. February marks the re-release of the title series on the heels of this book. We already knew that this series was to be the return of Daredevil rather than his death but most of it was beautiful and compelling. Being the last issue, the cliche comes full circle so it's hard to be wow'd. This comic would be fine with its poetic montage if not for the distracting art. I know Matt has been down and out but in his recovery issue he shouldn't look like his subconscious pain and fear monsters. That said, the creative team won me over with a panel of Daredevil's rogue's gallery drawn in the style of the Last Supper painting. The only thing that'd fill me with more glee would be if Stilt-man was in Jesus' chair instead of Kingpin but a boy can dream. Read Full Review

    Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson

    Man Without Fear #5 is a solid conclusion to the weekly mini-series. It got to the heart of what Matt Murdock is going through and brings him to a new starting place. Which is the ultimate goal for this series to give Daredevil a new starting spot for Chip Zdarsky and Marco Chechetto launch of Daredevil #1 in February? I am not sure that we needed a five-issue weekly series to do all this but that is what we got. All in all Man Without Fear was an okay series. Nothing great, but not terrible either. It does boast some of the greatest Daredevil covers ever, so it does have that going for it! Read Full Review

    This was a decent transitional series, perhaps a little rough with the art at times, but it conveyed Matt's mindset as Daredevil enters the Chip Zdarsky era. Read Full Review

    This was an excellent little mini-series that explored Matt's fears and how he deals with them while also showing us how, little by little, he regains strength to become Daredevil again, bridging Soule and Zdarsky's runs.

    This was really good. It's not exactly a shocking ending, or an unexpected one, but it sets Matt up well for Zdarsky's run and dives deep into his character once more, which is what this series was all about. All in all, this series was actually excellent despite some shoddy art here and there. I'm super excited for Daredevil #1 next week.

    Overall, this series was fairly above the average while sticking to average tropes. The imagery and dialogue is what really elevated it. Breaking down Daredevil and Matthew Murdock is nothing new, nor is their internal struggle and eventual acceptance into the role of a hero. It's predictable and safe but something people come back for. I don't believe he has every been without fear and that's definitely what this story has told us. He fears for his city, his friends, his loved ones and that's the struggle of the every day person. Matt Murdock is just a person.

    I like the mantra, "What is pain for? It keeps us going." It's been cool to have a series about Matt and not so much Daredevil, but I think it is going to be forgotten in the long run.

    Matt's struggle with his pain and fear concludes in this issue with the expected result. There's not enough going on here to merit a higher rating. I found the artwork to be subpar again.
