Well what do ya know, event comics can be good! This had everything; the big action set pieces, intrigue around they key players and a new status quo coming out of it. Loved this and I hope Zdarsky gets the reigns of a few other key characters in future.

Marvel crossover events like this can tend to be a little messy, but I think the Devil's Reign did a really good job of weaving all of these stories together. Matt and Elektra really shine in this run and I've enjoyed following their story from Zdarsky's 2019 run, to Woman Without Fear, to the ending of Devil's Reign. Elektra in particular has shown a lot of growth as a character (this is the first time I've really seen her make an effort to meet Matt halfway) and I am hoping that she continues to be a reoccurring character in the upcoming 2022 run.

All of this has literally already happened, except now there’s even more weird things. There’s two daredevils and he’s got a brother who… poses as Matt Murdock or something? Enough to be confused for him. And then there’s another civil war act thing, but only in NYC. It’s all a contrived rehash, and I haven’t read comics in a few years. Obviously not a self contained event you can just pick up if you haven’t been reading Daredevil. But, why would I when it’s all the same stuff? They’re off to go fight the hand in the end. How cyclical is that run? I don’t know how people could stand it.

Not sure how I feel about Matt letting everyone think he's dead (hopefully Foggy will know, though!), but overall I really liked how his clash with Fisk turned up. I loved what Elektra told him when he was about to give in, and I am curious about what's next.
