I know it's not DD's book, but man I am constantly amazed by Checchetto's work

Always a treat when that relationship is acknowledged too

I may have missed a thread or chain of discussion on this topic in this thread but what do people think of Zdarsky making Daredevil "guilty" of killing the guy at the beginning of the run? Did you buy the slight retcon that all the street heroes have done it before? Do you think this fact, and the mother absolving Matt of the guilt, is enough for the readers to forgive him?

Who has Matt killed before? He has tried, technically, with Bullyeye a few times. And there was that woman he kicked out a window but she became Typhoid Mary right? Is that still canon?


Anyway, where do people stand on this plot point of Chip's run?

Its a bell you can't unring but i liked it. Having Matt kill a "mook" rather than a "Big Bad" is an interesting choice. If he killed Kingpin or Bullseye, we might pat him on the back. A "mook" just offers more ambiguity to me.

The retcon is easy to believe and works for the street level heroes. I don't need to forgive Matt, Matt has to figure it out for himself. I guess we'll have to judge it when Zdarsky ends his run but for right now i thought it worked.

Matt has killed before when he had absolutely no choice. I think each time (with the exception of Bullseye, unless he was mind-controlled at the time), it was legally justified. The question here is that he was reckless from what he's normally able to do.

Yeah, it's kinda funny that both Matt and Mat are going thru an identity crisis at the same time.

The two biggest heroes(who try not to kill as a rule) that come to mind who have killed either unintentionally or as a last resort are Cap and Iron Man.

Personally, I love it. In my opinion it was the only way to keep doing "dark" DD stories. I've always felt that Soule's run was a gimmick to promote the Netflix series after Waid's great and considerably brighter run on the character. Matt accidentally killing a criminal whilst trying to do the right thing is interesting. The fact that Zdarsky has used the aftermath of that action as his focus for his run makes it even more interesting. If he sticks the landing, it'll be a great character piece.

Overall, I've liked this run so far, mainly for that main focus I've mentioned. I think some of the dialogue has come across as clunky, and I haven't been a massive fan of the Stromwyns as villains so far. But that could change. I'm enjoying the book for what it is, but I don't think it's on the level of Bendis or Waid for me yet.

Art wise, the constant rotation of artists is a bit aggravating, and I don't know if I think of Checchetto as a DD artist, but it's got some great stuff in there.
