Daredevil calls it quits this issue in some character beats I felt were done fairly well even if it doesn't even last half of an issue. Then he gets pulled into this story with Death-Stalker and it's not much of a plot, nor is the battle any good at all, but it is big on style and that is something.
Heather comes across as annoying and a poor man's Karen. I'm not a fan of what I've se

Daredevil takes to space for a battle amongst the stars! Death-Stalker aims to prove his strength.
The art was like this a bit in the last issue but really gets over-the-top edgy by this comic. The whole issue feels overly dark and grim, in that cheesy 13-year-old-edgelord kind of way. The dialogue was pretty awful and Daredevil interrogating a pyromaniac with fire was worse.
Still, the actual investigation into the fires isn't terrible, but it is a little repetitive in its storyte

The first half of the comic is just a very stressful and realistic situation where Daredevil is dealing with a building on fire. It's quite well done on the whole. The second half deals with the legal consequences of the fire, which works well in a Daredevil comic but Chichester is clumsy with his dialogue as always. Still, there are good moments here - like the firefighters smashing cars like more

A pretty standard Silver Age affair where Daredevil is in Hollywood and battles the Stilt-Man. Not a lot to it, for good or ill. It's not very fun but the art from this era is reliable as always. Karen and Matt breaking up felt really rushed, even if it makes sense with her being in LA now.
Daredevil #67
Karen Page convinces Daredevil to star in her show. Nearby, Stilt-Man disguises himself as the Stunt-Master and lingers by the soundstage looking for action. Before long, Stunt-Master gets the action he's looking for!
This wound up being a pretty solid Owl story. It's still a Chichester book, but at least he made the villain quite interesting here.
Daredevil #303
This was a pretty fun and action packed issue. For a comic where the Owl and Daredevil are mostly just fighting each other, they do manage to still make Owl seem both sinister and tragic. While not perfect and I don't love all the art here, I'd say this was a solid issue on the whole.
Daredevil #302
Way too overly wordy right out of the gate for a comic book. Especially one from the 90s that should be more deferential to the art, because the art is really nice. The Owl is presented in a somewhat sinister way, at least, and the comic does have some stylish moments as we see our characters living their lives in New York. Certainly not the worst Chichester comic I've read at this point.
Daredevil #301
I loved the cover of this one. Otherwise it's a very clunky, slow, and repetitive end to Lobdell's arc in a way I didn't find all that satisfying, nor did I enjoy Cully Hamner's art that much. One that essentially closes out this iteration of the Daredevil series, which is interesting. Not great or even good, but interesting. And to its credit I did enjoy the idea of this Jason Bourne-style st more

FLYING BLIND PART 4 Matt Murdock, reunited with his true self! During battle with Kingpin, Laurent Levasseur regains his memories of being Daredevil. His temporary sight fading, DD must also confront one ticked off Foggy Nelson!
It's fun having Foggy so directly involved in Matt's espionage adventure overseas. The arc got off to a rocky start with me but has had its moments so far. It's still just okay at best, though. Lobdell isn't exactly writing this story with finesse, often being overly clunky in his wording, not just in its style but also in the sheer volume of text he throws around sometimes like the worst of Da more

FLYING BLIND PART 3 'Laurent' has a Parisian smack down with several of Kingpin's thugs. Foggy and S.H.I.E.L.D. begin to put the pieces together on Murdock. The Man Without Fear is in serious trouble- will DD snap out of his amnesia before it's too late?
Much better than the last issue especially structurally, but still not great. There's a really wholesome moment with Foggy that I liked a lot, at least.
Daredevil #377
FLYING BLIND PART 2 Stateside, Foggy begins to search for the missing Matt Murdock. In France, undercover agent Laurent Levasseur struggles to understand his affinity for tights and crime fighting. Will Levasseur realize that he and Daredevil are one in the same?
An intriguing start to the last story arc of this volume but one that is executed very poorly. It's basically not a Daredevil comic, nor does it explain its premise very well, but Matt finds himself trapped in a deep cover identity he no longer remembers, and the SHIELD handler responsible for deprogramming dies. Or something along that line. It could have been cool if it were structured better more

FLYING BLIND PART 1 Daredevil is all alone in a foreign country. With no recollection of his life as Matt Murdock, the Man Without Fear has no support and no ties to his true identity. An existential crisis at its finest. Plus, who is Laurent Levasseur?
This comic rather infuriatingly opens on a dream sequence. The rest of the issue is more classic Silver Age fun as the people of New York are suddenly struck blind. Mixed feelings about this one overall. At least it feels like the main story is pretty creative. It's the kind of thing that works thematically well for Daredevil's character in the most obvious way possible, but just because it is more

The entire city is struck blind! Daredevil must uncover the reason for everyone's sudden loss of sight! Who is behind this massive epidemic?
There is cool art and cool moments peppered throughout this issue, but Chichester cannot make The Hand exciting for the life of him.
Daredevil #295
Weird but fine, I guess. Pretty standard Daredevil vs. The Hand stuff coupled with the usual quirky Chichester writing.
Daredevil #294
It's not the best ending to this already questionable Hyde/Cobra trilogy Stan Lee did. I'm not a fan of a story like this where the villains should win but lose simply because they stalled out on just finishing off Daredevil in some way.
Visually, it's a great comic at least, as we get some great shots of the Hyde/Cobra duo capturing Daredevil and taking him to a scenic lighthouse. An

Kidnapped by the Cobra and Mr. Hyde, Daredevil, still without his powers, finds himself entirely off-kilter! How will DD escape the stickiest situation of his career? And will his super powers ever be restored?
Daredevil continues his conflict with Hyde and Cobra, while having lost his powers and actually experiencing full blindness. It's pretty interesting as a concept but Hyde and Cobra aren't very fun villains here. The Mike Murdock sage reaches a new level of ridiculous as Foggy and Karen are now to believe Mike and Daredevil have also gone blind like Matt. Still, the Lee/Colan team is fun enough, more

Robbed of his super senses by Mr. Hyde, Matt Murdock realizes what it's like to be truly blind! How will Daredevil navigate life as a super hero without his super powers? And will Matt be able to trust those closest to him?

Wacky Moments: A woman tears off a piece of DD's mask as a souvenir. Foggy somehow holds the end of DD's cable while a very blind & powerless DD balances on it to distract Hyde & Cobra.

A pretty wild issue where Daredevil somehow uses plastics to make himself look exactly like Thor. The real Thor is here along with the questionable duo of Cobra and Mr. Hyde. There is a fight between Daredevil and Thor that is silly and fun, at least. But it just ends and we're left with some lacklustre stuff around Hyde and Cobra, who do kind of manage to beat Daredevil here.
