There are two stories going on.

Matt's story is really good here. He's both on a break from Daredevil and on a break as an attorney. But I like that he's in a position to help people. That being said, it's a kick in the teeth when he finds out the person who he killed when trying to stop a robbery was this kid's brother.

The Kingpin, on the other hand, is divesting from organized crime. Honestly, that was the impression I actually got from the end of Soule's run anyway, but they're making it clear that it's happening now. I'm curious what his motivations are and what his bigger plans are.

Four and a Half Stars. This issue is really good, although it is a talking issue without much else.

I think this is an excellent issue.

Matt's character goes through an interesting journey from page to page. He starts out completely content, but then can't reconcile his present with his past. The final page shows him doing everything he can to atone what he now sees as his past sins.

That's in strong contrast to Fisk's journey. He now feels he has accomplished all he can as the Kingpin, and is ready for an entirely different challenge. Fisk believes that "to be content is to be dead," and in order to survive he has to remove himself from his present comfort.

It's interesting that Fisk outright states "Daredevil is dead." He may actually believe that to be true, but it's an interesting statement considering Matt's contentment at this issue's opening. Matt was content, so therefore Matt was dead by Fisk's measure.

I don't know where we're going to end up with Cole's story, or the lady assuming Daredevil's role. I still think something bad is going to happen to her. I predict Cole is going to face off with Fisk. I'm enjoying what Chip Zdarsky is setting up.

If I have to nitpick anything, it's with the cast of characters in the vault. I don't know who Izzy Libris is, or Odan. Is Nero from the Santerians? (Joe Quesada is still credited with being Chief Creative Officer, so maybe.) As satisfied as I've been with Lalit Kumar Sharma's work, I would have appreciated some more detail. I think there may have been one drawing of Hammerhead, but I couldn't know for sure it was him.

That didn't stop me from giving this issue a perfect score.

Think iâ€™m in the minority here but this run is starting to fall a little flat. This is probably just me and doesnâ€™t really reflect the writing or anything but it feels like every issue so far has been mostly set up of things to come and when those things happen theyâ€™re relegated to small sections of the issues which are focussing primarily with setting up more things to come. I may be totally off base but the general feeling for me so far this run has been that its heavy on teasing stuff and light on actually delivering. Maybe that will change and i guess plenty has actually happened so far but the pay offs just havnâ€™t seemed particularly worth it.

Hi there
I am new to the board.
I feel underwhelmed with the past few issues both with the story and the art. This may be due to my high expectations.
Fingers crossed things will get better.

I still haven't read the newest issue because I was so underwhelmed by the last issue. Also the art is massive decrease in quality compared to the former.

Yep. I'm going to do one more Miller story next week since they're sort of related and then I'll go for Decalogue, which is an interesting story, to say the least.
