Interesting way to wrap up Daredevil before the soft reboot and move to San Fran, but the impact is more legal than just taking down costumed baddies. And bringing the supernatural into the world of Daredevil is certainly a good twist.

The issue with the monsters (as featured on the cover) was a bit on the bizarro side, but otherwise, an awesome (and quite unexpected) work in the Waid collection.

Never fails to pull me in, even when I'm doubting :)

Volume seven of MArk Waid's run of Daredevil is a season finale of sorts. There are clearly more stories to be told here, but there's certainly a sense of finality. Waid managed to juggle the multiple plot lines (Foggy Nelson's cancer, the serpent society, the romance, etc) in an expert manner, delivering plenty of suspense and surprising twists. There may be some missteps along the way (including a rather stereotypical trip to the deep south), but the results are very enjoyable. The artwork is quite strong too!

This volume marks the end of a long and winding road for Matt Murdock as he does battle in and out of the courtroom and costume with the Serpent Society, a racist organization that has infiltrated New York's justice system. Waid, in a delicate balancing act, keeps this story lighthearted without making light of the systemic racism and corruption Daredevil is fighting. Also, those interested in the deep bench of Marvel characters will enjoy the two issue story line involving the Legion of Monsters in the middle of this collection.

Holy crap this is good. I don't even care that we get an almost unnecessary trip to Stone Hills, Kentucky and a "team up" with the Legion of Monsters. That's really the only eye-rolling sour note to this volume. Samnee's art is top notch here and even Javier Rodriguez' guest pencils in #34 are dead-on. So much better than his 2-issue stint in Volume 6. Seriously, the art's so good in this volume I could almost care less if the characters were all just talking about last night's episode of American Idol, but thankfully the story isn't lacking anything either.
The series "ends" with this volume, but really it's just Daredevil's New York adventures that are done, as the story picks right up in the first volume of Daredevil by the exact same creative team.

That took a turn for the weird. I've never read any comics with Doctor Strange, so I guess this was my intro to him. Oddball stuff, but very good. And it had Matty being a kickass lawyer and being a damn good friend to Foggy. Mark Waid's whole Daredevil series has been on one of my favorite series ever.
