I really need to play catch up on this series. I have all the issues..I just need to sit my ass down and read them.

I think it'll read fantastic in bulk/trade.

[Fan of Mystery]

After two stellar runs by Mark Waid and Charles Soule, I am very happy to say that Chip Zdarsky is more than living up to their high standard. The 2010s have been a pretty great decade for The Man Without Fear overall.

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Daredevil #5 Dec 1964
First appearance of the Matador in "The Mysterious Masked Matador!"
New villian the Matador is in town carrying out robberies by distracting security vans with his cape.
After Daredevil has a brief confrontation with him, Matt Murdock accompanies Karen Page
to a masked ball where he identifies that the Matador is present from his heartbeat.
When Murdock realises that the Matador is trying to rob a wall safe he raises the alarm and then changes into his costume.
Daredevil has difficulty fighting the Matador, however,

due to the competing noises and movement of the party and the Matador escapes.

Whilst the Matador remains at large, Foggy drops a bombshell.
He tells Matt that he has bought an engagement ring for Karen and wants to propose to her.
Matt is devastated due to his own feelings for Karen and also because Foggy is his dearest friend.

Matt decides to distract himself by doing some research at a Newspaper Archive to try to find out who the Matador is

and finds that a world famous bullfighter, Manuel Eloganto, disappeared earlier that year.

Convinced that Eloganto is the Matador, Murdock calls a press conference annoucing that he believes that the Matador is Daredevil.
Whilst Foggy is upset about this, Matt knows that Eloganto will visit the law firm's offices to confront Murdock.
When, at night, he does so, Daredevil is waiting for him. In the quiet surroundings of his office, Daredevil has the upper hand.
Leading him up to the roof of the building, Daredevil thwarts the Matador finally by headbutting him in the belly much like a bull would a toreador.

NOTE: Daredevil's costume now has "DD" instead of just a "D."

what's this current story arc about?

Matt accidentally(?) killed(?) someone very early in the series. Completely fell apart. Spider-Man told him to take some time off. New Detective in NYPD was initially looking to bring Matt in for the murder now could possibly start working with him after the latest events. Elektra's returned and is training Daredevil to get his groove back.

Really sloppy cliff notes version.
