Quite the strong finish to this run of Daredevil, aside from the nonsense with monsters in the woods of Kentucky, prompted by a total side-chase that didn't make much sense in the world and methods of an attorney/vigilante.
Much of this book was predictable, but that's forgivable, as it was the logical conclusion of circumstances that have been adding up since the start of Waid's run.

31 - After a controversial trial, someone hacks the live feed to start a riot and all signs point to The Jester!
Matt finds out it was Foggy's idea for Kirsten to take his place. Is it a sign of me getting older that I find the Matt Murdock parts of Mark Waid's run better than the super hero parts most of the time?
32 - The Jester and the Sons of the Serpent continue their reign of terror. Meanwhile, Daredevil enlists the help of Doctor Stephen Strange!
Daredevil goes to Kentucky to find Jack Russell at Strange's insistence and winds up meeting The Stitchwork Man, The Zombie, The Mummy, and Satanna. While I love how DD bounces from street crime to super hero shenanigans so effortlessly, I find it hard to believe he's never met Jack Russell, the Werewolf by Night before.
33 - Daredevil gets more than he bargained for down south when he looks for pages from the Darkhold, the book the Sons of the Serpent worship.
Daredevil in a rural setting doesn't work all that well, although it nicely demonstrates how ineffective illusions are to a blind man.
34 - With the pages of the Darkhold in his clutches, Daredevil riles up the Sons of the Serpent and sets up a showdown...
Written by Mark Waid, Daredevil has testicles like a pair of wrecking balls. There were some scary moments in this one but it all worked out in the end. Until it didn't...
35 - The Sons of the Serpent are keeping Foggy Nelson alive and have Daredevil by the short and curlies. They want him to clear one of the Sons of the Serpent for a crime he didn't commit...
Daredevil is forced into action again, this time with Elektra by his side. As usual, the last panel was a great hook into the next issue. Mark Waid has a great talent to write Daredevil into situations where his lawyer instincts conflict with his super hero ones.
36 - Foggy is dying of cancer and Matt tells a full courtroom that he's Daredevil.
Things get settled in dramatic fashion. The Sons of the Serpent are out and Matt and Foggy are headed to San Franciso, just in time for a new Daredevil series to start.
Closing Thoughts: I fucking love Mark Waid on Daredevil. It's just a notch below Hawkeye as the best super hero comic of the last decade. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

And so we come to the bittersweet end. Wait, what was that? A relaunch? Same team? Count me in.

I was thinking. Even though he's super stupid and lame in the comics, how cool would Stilt Man be in real life? Sure, it's insane. A guy who has indestructible, extending stilts, that's dumb as hell. But on the other hand, it's pretty fucking far removed from anything I've ever seen.
The key to real life being super, it seems like you have to just be first. You know, something that's not all that cool would be pretty rad if you were the first one. If Squirrel Girls was first, she'd be pretty badass, at least until She Hulk came along.
While we're on the topic of lawyer/superheroes, how annoying would it be if that person was in school with you? "Oh, remember Matt Murdock? He's Daredevil. Also a lawyer." This dude is blind, and he find the time to fight crime AND get a law degree. Plus he always has a rad apartment with a secret exit. I'd settle for any one of those three things. Fucking overachiever.
