Daredevil returns under the new writer Chip Zdarsky! I've enjoyed his Spider-man and Fantastic Four Johnny and The Thing spin off. So figured I'd give this bad boy a try. I usually wait for a whole volume but figured I'd grab issue 1 at the local comic shop to try out. I'm so glad I did!

So I still have to finish Soule's run so I'm little confused on what's happening with the start but it has Matt deciding to put the costume back on. After the last events, it left him nearly dead it seems. So after dressing back up and becoming the devil in hell's kitchen once more he begins to jump around the city to let people know he's back. While doing that we get some past events of him at the church as a kid and then when he first put on his costume. The final moments lead to something very interesting as Daredevil might have crossed the line without knowing.

Good: The art is great. I get a real nice vibe of Brubaker's run or Bendis in the art department, so big plus there. The story and pacing work real well. My biggest worry was Chip nailing Matt's voice but he does it pretty flawlessly. Just like Bendis, Brubaker, Waid, Soule, Chip comes with the voice of Matt we all love. On top of that the pushing factor of the ending is great and makes the next issue a hard wait.

Bad: The only negative I can really think of is the flashback of him as a kid. I guess I'm just so used to seeing it on the TV show it gets a little old.

Overall, a fantastic opening to a new run. This will be hard to wait for the next trade but I shall. A easy 4.5 out of 5.
