Maybe Bendis is the culprit and Brubaker is struggling mightily with a way to return the character to his previous proclivities,

I really don't think that this is the case. Early on in Brubaker's run, he tidied away all of the loose ends that were still dangling from Bendis' storylines, and then chose to take Matt (and his marriage) in the direction that he's currently taking him.

I don't think that, at this point, you can say that Brubaker is at all constrained by what Bendis did with the book. This is what he wants to do with Daredevil. And personally, I'm really enjoying it.

I loved that scene in which DD crashes through a high rise window, lunges in mid-air to reach the helicopter, knocks out the bad guys and then flies out the other side - while all the way through avoiding a hail of gunfire.

Loved it. LOVED IT!! LOVED IT!!!

I haven't seen such a magnficiently portrayed swashbuckling scene in a DD comic in maybe ten years! Karel Kessel was perhaps the last writer to congure up such death defying highwire acts. And, man, have I missed them!!

Brubaker has lived up to his own expectations - he said he would blend the Miller Hell's Kitchen protecter with the Colan swashbuckler. Finally someone has come along and merged the two, disparate visions of the character into one beautifully synthesized version.

Bravo, Yankee, Bravo!

just read the issue. satisfying ending to a good arc. the most recent Brubaker arcs (not including this one) have been luke-warm for me. not bad, mind you, but just not something that i look foward to every month. this arc and this issue in particular was quite enjoyable. like blacktyphoid said above, helicopter scene was great. loved how he dove into a cluster of gunfire...classic DD.
