Daredevil Epic Collection, Vol. 13: A Touch of Typhoid by Mike Baron, Fabian Nicieza, Ron Lim, Ann Nocenti
4.0

So Ann Nocenti hasn't been a writer I've enjoyed however to be fair, that's based on all her work from 2012 onward which is...not good to say the least. Her catwoman is one of the worst comics I've ever read in my life.

Daredevil though is really pretty damn good.

With this collection it feels like the spiritual successor to Frank Miller's run on the character but also it's own look into real world problems. A lot of talks of politics slip in, but work really well for a character like Daredevil. When he has to defend a boy who was blinded thanks to a corporation run by Kingpin, and Frisk doing everything he can to be shady and get the case to his side, Matt gets more personal about it and strikes back. To the introduction of Typhoon Mary, as she seduces Matt and breaks him down while Daredevil is broken both physically and mentally. To Daredevil eventually leaving New York and trying to find himself.

It's dark, it's moody, and I really enjoyed it save for some issues with the crossover of Inferno from X-Men. Those issues were weaker and not nearly as interesting as the rest. A 4 out of 5.
