Wilson Fisk is the Mayor of New York City. Organized crime is undergoing a boom, and Hell’s Kitchen is overrun with petty crime. Daredevil is dead. Or so everyone believes. Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil begins a short while after the events of Charles Soule’s Death of Daredevil and Jed MacKay’s The Man Without Fear. Matthew Murdock has been hit by a truck saving someone, ironically mirroring the injury that cost him his eyesight, and has spent the last while in the hospital, recovering. Daredevil hasn’t been seen in quite some time, and the criminals of Hell’s Kitchen have become bolder and bolder. Zdarsky’s narration for Matt throughout this first outing as Daredevil is excellent, showing the mindset of a man who has been out of the game for a while and is genuinely enjoying being back in it. Matt mentions wanting to be seen, to get the word out that Daredevil is back — because that thought will make potential criminals hesitate. Zdarsky does an excellent job writing Matt’s state of mind throughout this volume. Matt starts off confident, but is shaken very quickly and becomes more and more irrational and erratic as the story progresses. By the end, he’s mentally broken, arguably worse than any physical injury he’s suffered. The most interesting part of this run so far is Zdarsky’s focus on Matt’s Catholicism as a defining trait of his character. Matt has always been a devout Catholic, but aside from a flavor for more generalized angst, it has rarely, if at all, been explored to the extent that Zdarsky has done in this volume. The issue has several flashbacks to Matt’s confessions growing up. Marco Checchetto’s art is absolutely incredible throughout this volume. Every page is dripping with a style that perfectly matches Zdarsky’s New York City, and every splash page is drop dead gorgeous. The page where Matt suits up for the first time could very well be its own cover, and the interiors throughout are just perfect. There are a lot of great touches in regards to the paneling — for example, in the fight where Matt accidentally kills a robber, it would be very easy to give the moment where he fatally wounds the man some extra weight, but the entire fight is chaotic and each panel could very well be the one with the killing blow. Each fight scene is laid out in such a way that it’s easy to follow yet perfectly depicts how disorienting and chaotic the experience is for Matt, which works wonders for being able to get into his head. This volume is an excellent start to Zdarsky’s run on Daredevil, and is incredibly beginner-friendly while also intensely rewarding to longtime fans. Zdarsky provides a very fresh jumping on point with an easily understood backstory, while continuing Matt’s character arc that has been going on for decades. Every character in the book is written incredibly well, and the story is one that fits Daredevil incredibly well, both tonally and as a character arc. Checchetto’s art is gorgeous, and enhances the story immensely. Daredevil has had a incredibly consistent streak of excellent creative teams for decades, and this first volume shows that it is definitely continuing.
