That was a damn good volume. It was especially well written.
The reason I picked this up was as the prelude to the Bendis run because at another time I'd also read the Kevin Smith story Guardian Devil and this is the only volume between those two. And hell this was amazing. I loved each issue. It's so creative in it's storytelling. Daredvil after the death of Karen Page is in another low spot but with the help of Foggy Nelson they get their business up and running and take on the King Pin again. But the intrigue here is a new girl Maya, also known as echo who has been set loose onto Matt Murdock and Daredevil and following her pov as well as Matt's and that of the Kingpin spins an enriching tale of betrayed, love, and vision.
I was enthralled throughout the reading of this because it was partly unexpected. But also it is so well written that the at times lackluster art didn't hinder my enjoyment. Very few things did because I was enveloped in the dance with the devil.
I recommend this volume highly and it makes me even more excited to get into the Bendis and Brubaker runs.
The one flaw I have is that there is one issue where David Mack does not take up the writing duties and it shows. The issue itself is actually quite good and reminds me of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing in a superficial sense, but once you reach the end you do realise t was a placeholder until the next issue. I don't know why and probably never will but it may hinder someone else's enjoyment more then mine.
5 stars. Janky art at times but the use of the art and putting things in as if they're the imagination of the characters is worth it alone.
