Daredevil: Back in Black, Vol. 5: Supreme by Charles Soule, Mike Deodato Jr., Goran Sudžuka
4.0

This is kind of a arc I've been waiting for. Soule is a actual lawyer in real life so it was nice to see a whole arc revolving around Matt Murdock taking on the court system.

Matt is doing something he's been wanting to do forever. Have it that a superhero, still fully masked, go to court and testify. This changes everything. One, the superheros won't lose their secret identity. Two, this will help so many cases and villains get locked up for good. So we see Matt do his best, as daredevil, to win this case. Then the last three issues here focus on Blindspot. What happened to him and why he left the scene.

Good: Really enjoyed all the court stuff. I always felt we needed more of that in a Daredevil comic. I also enjoyed the heck out of blindspot story. Sure, a little cliche, but really fun anyway and we get Daredevil's sidekick back. The ending was great too.

Bad: The villains here seemed a bit undercooked and not who they usually are.

Overall a really fun arc with some big moments for Matt himself. A 4 out of 5.
