Daredevil: No Devils, Only God, by Chip Zdarsky and Lalit Sharma (Marvel) 

It was hard not to notice this series after it was nominated for the Eisner trifecta in 2020 (Best Continuing Series, Best Writer and Best Cover Artist) and again in 2021 (Best Writer, Best Penciller/Inker, and Best Continuing Series). Prior to picking it up, the only other thing I had read from either creator was Zdarsky's enjoyable "Stillwater". I'm a big fan of Daredevil and have read all the other seminal runs (Miller, Smith, Bendis, Brubaker, and Waid). I read this volume through Comixology Unlimited. I noticed it received a 4.7 Customer Review score on Amazon, 4.11 on Goodreads, and an 8.3 Critic score on Comic Book Round Up. The first volume was spectacul
ar! Daredevil is the epitome of the street-level hero that gets down and dirty in the grit, stink, and grime of the criminal underworld. He is also one of the more complex and cerebral of Marvel's characters. He has a great supporting cast and I particularly like it when the cameos feel organic and purposeful (which reminds me of the Bendis run). However, I did not care for the direction Zdarsky took the second volume. Daredevil as a probation officer doesn’t really interest me (and I was a probation officer for 12 years). The new supporting characters don’t interest me either. The art dipped as well without Checcetto but I saw he’s back in the third volume so I’ll give it a shot with Comixology Unlimited. more
