Holy shit...That's it. Chip has done it. This is a classic before even being called a classic. I haven't had this much love for Daredevil since I finished the Bendis/Brubaker run but this is just blowing me away.

Matt helps elektra do some dirty work. In fact, he believes it is to rob very rich people and put the money into the accounts of small businesses and people in need. But of course she has other ideas. This part of the story is so important because when the rich get things taken from them they aren't very happy. So what do they do? Send Bullseye and a bunch of other villains to fuck up Hell's Kitchen. While that is happening Cole has decided he has had ENOUGH of this cowardly shit and ask the cops if they really want to be cops or just useless fucks. Kidnapping of kids, churches being attacked, Kingpin deciding he must do the unthinkable...ALL of this comes to a head as the final two issues of this volume are so amazing I would argue issue 20 is perfection in comic book form.

And see that's just it. Chip gets it. He writes Matt SO fucking well. A character who always battles himself on what to do and what is the RIGHT thing to do. He writes the villains as they should be, pricks with too much money and power. He writes side characters with concern for their friend in a mask. He just writes everything so goddamn well that this is the accumulation of his run so far.

But let me talk about the art cause holy fucking shit is it just as good. The last two issues in particular are mesmerizing. The full display of destruction and scale of fighting is insane. I dunno if I ever seen it in a Daredevil comic but it blew me away. Like watching a movie the way it looked.

I am truly blown away by this volume. I mean volume 1-3 were excellent but this is top level god-tier shit. 5 out of motherfucking 5.
