I do the same with the trades, considering I started buying pretty late in the game and there are so much old material to go through.
We don't really have comic book shops in my country, but if I did I would most likely buy floppies and maybe switch them out for the trades when they come out.
About the last issue, now that's something. This continues to just be super awesome. A question though spoilers:end of spoilers
How did Mary end up at the church, and how did both Matt and Fisk know about her?
Now that is the question. I think it will be revealed in the next issue.

It would seem that one of them put her there, but it's not clear. The look on Bullseye's face was unforgettable. Matt truly kicked butt. Great how Cole didn't listen to Fisk and stood by Matt.
A very good issue.
I remember that she wore that cloth at the end of Typhoid Fever: Iron Fist.
Yea it was - I mean, most of it is stuff we've seen before, but man they did it well. Terrific art, fantastic dramatic climax to the run so far. I really love the idea that, as despicable as Fisk is, he's still someone who will head down onto the street and start punching out bad guys to protect the city. The whole Mayor Fisk thing obviously has been inspired by #45 but it's lazy to treat it as a 1:1 comparison, and scenes like this do a nice job of adding some nuance. Fisk is still a giant turd but he's not JUST a giant turd.

I honestly haven't missed comics, during the pandemic shutdown. I'm actually surprised how easily it seemed they went out of sight, out of mind.
Except for one.
Man is it good to have DD back. And what an issue to return on. Some great action beats. I was really impressed how well they captured Matt's character here, with the touches they've been working towards since the first issue. This is a Matt who kind of falls into the violence too easily. Who lets it distract him, and drag him down. But who, when he keeps his mind right, is capable of absolutely beating down anybody who gets in his way. I really like this take on Matt. Using his head as much as his fists in the fight. Focused on his goals, and doing what needs doing, even if it's messy and involves punching people in the face.
After everything in this run so far, putting Matt back into the mask kind of felt like an ending. So I was quite curious where we might go from here. Needless to say, the ending opens some interesting doors. It creates some problems, but I'll have faith that Zdarsky has thought them through enough to have answers that won't feel tacked on. (The biggest one being, how is Matt's ID not right back out in the open now?) This is shaping up to be another absolutely classic run on the character. How does Marvel keep striking gold with Daredevil so often, when so many other characters (I'm looking at you Tony Stark) can't seem to get a good run for a decade at a time? Part of me wonders if it's that writers who take up this book are always doing so as a passion project. Because they all seem to bring their A games to the title.
I've re-read this issue so many times already since I got it yesterday...It's SO Jood!!!

My eyes bugged out more than once reading this. This is a masterful, masterful run and one of the all-time bests.

Sad to hear about the death of Denny O'Neill. He wrote one of my favourite Daredevil runs.
