Matt was the mayor? I did not see this as a possibility in any timeline, but after dying and being resurrected I guess it's not much of a stretch.
He always gets more depressing after his death, rolling in the pits of self pity and anger, but I still love him though.

It’s been ages since I’ve read Daredevil consistently. I picked it up recently during the Man Without Fear plot, and I’ll admit that I found myself more than a little bit curious to see where things were going to go next…so here I am.
This was a great start to the new series. They really addressed the mental state Matt was in. I love that they used a romantic trope to give us an idea of things, but honestly, it did work out well.
The flashbacks were a little odd at first and sometimes felt like they were breaking the immersion of the issue. But otherwise, they were interesting.
I like where they seem to be going with this plot. Obviously, I’m guessing on the path they’re going to take, but so far I’ve enjoyed the tone and the setup, so I think it’s worth following.

My husband loves Daredevil. I've lost track of how many times he's re-watched the series on Netflix, but I do know it's a ridiculous number. We watched the first two seasons together, and while I enjoyed it, it wasn't something I was itching to see again. However, when I discovered Chip Zdarsky was writing the new series, I was curious. I've really liked some of his other work, and wanted to see his version of the Devil of Hell's Kitchen.
Zdarsky didn't disappoint! I'm already weirdly addicted to this darker version of Matt Murdock and what that means for future issues. Matt has been struggling with his identity and his place in the world for a while now, and I like that the author not-so-gently pushed him over an invisible line. Matt's going to face some hard truths, and who is more honest than Frank Castle? Honestly, I'm more partial to Frank's sense of justice, and I'm not sure what that says about me. It's hard to disagree with him when Matt fights the same enemies over and over again, and Frank only fights them once.
I'm curious what role Detective North will continue to play, since he seems to have issues with both Daredevil and Fisk. Also, Daredevil's attire at the end of the fourth issue was badass, and hopefully foreshadows an ever darker version of the Devil and what he's capable of. However, I disagree with his treatment of Frank after what Castle did for him. Jerk.
