 Matt Murdock Continues to be Haunted by His Sins in ‘Daredevil: Hell To Pay’ – Comic Book Review

 

Daredevil has been one of the luckiest superheroes to ever exist... in terms of creatives, anyway. The character has been consistently blessed with great writers and artists over the years, but especially since the early 2000s. In this way, Saladin Ahmed inherited an extremely tough job. No matter what he does, his writing is going to be compared to some of the best in superhero history.

The most obvious trap Ahmed could’ve fallen into was to try to match the tone, scale, and style of the most lauded Daredevil runs; to ‘give the fans what they wanted.’ Instead, he managed to swerve into totally new territory, delivering unto us a new version of Matt Murdock that we had never seen before.

‘Father Matt’ running a home for orphaned children while doing a bit of Daredevilling on the side is a wonderful new status quo for Matt, and it left readers with a lot of questions, namely: HOW did Matt return from hell and HOW did he become a priest? Ahmed continues to be tight-lipped on these issues in Hell to Pay but does progress some of the conflicts that have been plaguing Matt since his return.
