A really nice issue. Hopefully they’ll be able to find a consistent artist as that is what seems to be the weakest part at the minute.
Hi anyone know which comic episode is this from? Screenshot_20190822-134705_Tumblr.jpg
Lalit Sharma had improved beauty-fully from issue #6 to issue #9 so I hope we see more of his work going forward.
I really hadn't read much of Zdarsky before, but I am sure a fan now! This was such an awesome issue!
You really feel for Matt and the situation he is in. I also appreciate the slow-burn approach that Zdarsky has taken with Matt trying to give up being Daredevil and slowly being pulled back in. And not just as a vigalante, it also seems like Matt is being pulled back into being a lawyer as well.
The action in the police station was intense and really well done. While I did enjoy the art (and certainly enjoyed it more than in previous issues), I would say I prefer Checchetto more; however, only if consistently be the artist. If not, I think Fornes could be a good alternative.
I am also curious where Cole's character goes from here. Will he come to understand why people like Daredevil are necessary?
Lastly, with the reveal of Elektra at the end, Zdarsky has an opportunity to quickly vault himself into the upper echelon of Daredevil writers if he can help to evolve their relationship. Often I feel most writers don't know what to do with them. I have always felt that once Marvel made the decision to bring Elektra back her presence should have been more felt in Daredevil (especially after they killed off Karen). To me, Daredevil and Elektra should be the Batman/Catwoman of the Marvel universe with a bit of Talia al Ghul mixed in there as well. Often what I feel we get is writers aren't sure what they should do so they bring in Elektra and it doesn't add anything new to the mix. If Zdarsky, can do something new with their relationship that would be amazing.
