unladylike's review against another edition

My least favourite of this series. There's an interesting story involving the primary bully from Matt's childhood, and a white supremacist cult that has infiltrated the criminal justice system. In real-world 2016, we still have police, judges, and elected officials who are active members of the KKK, so this could develop into an even more gripping and relevant story in Vol. 7.
But this trade is not really worth its own weight. It's just a few issues of Daredevil, then a crappy two-issue Hulk story that has Daredevil, but not with his Mark Waid-written voice. The only point of including it in this collection is the reveal that Bruce Banner is the mysterious client who has Murdock on retainer, which is given a pretty flimsy explanation.

28 - An asshole that used to torment Matt when he was a kid shows up looking for representation in a false arrest case.
Yeah, Mark Waid may not write a Hulk that I'm a huge fan of but he writes the shit out of Daredevil. I liked that Hackett had a different view of things when he and Matt were growing up. The ending was a shocker.
29 - It turns out the Sons of the Serpent have infested the legal system and want Hackett dead. Can Daredevil keep him alive long enough to get him to a hospital?
Pretty slick. I chuckled a little when Daredevil said "What am I, blind?"
30 - Kirsten McDuffie fills in for Foggy. Oh and an alien shows up in Matt's office looking for asylum on earth with the Silver Surfer on his trail!
It's simply amazing how Mark Waid can bounce Matt back and forth between street level crime and super hero stuff and make it all feel perfectly natural. Daredevil in control of the Silver Surfer's board was pretty bad ass.
Indestructible Hulk #9 - Bruce Banner and his lawyer, Daredevil, track down a stolen super weapon!
Daredevil and the Hulk seem mismatched at first but Hornhead knows how to handle the Hulk. Let's see how they handle Baron Zemo with an ultrasound cannon.
Indestructible Hulk #10 - Baron Zemo and HYDRA vs. The Hulk and Daredevil!
This was actually kind of a yawn, despite the carnage, until the Hulk went berserk and Daredevil had to control him. A Hulk in a China Shop indeed.
Closing Thoughts: Hulk issues aside, this was another kick ass Daredevil volume. The team-up with the Silver Surfer was one of my favorite moments of the series so far. Four out of five stars.

You know, this is a good example of a comic where describing the plot makes it sound way stupider.
Daredevil is Hulk's lawyer, and Hulk is working for SHIELD, but...
Well, that pretty much does it.
But it's great. Sometimes you have to stop thinking about something and just read it.

The problem when a writer has a long run with a character is that no one is brilliant all the time, even if the "just really good" bits of the run are head and shoulders above other superhero comics. In other words, I like it but don't love it.
