Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky, Vol. 5: Truth/Dare by Chip ZdarskyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
With Hell's Kitchen safe but in ruins, Daredevil struggles with his worst enemy - his guilt over accidentally killed a man. Can Daredevil put this enemy to rest before it eats him alive?
In the aftermath of the last volume, Daredevil is wondering what to do next and ultimately decides it's time to get his comeuppance. It's not often that super heroes have to face the consequences of their actions so this ventures into relatively unexplored territory.
Marco Checchetto continues to tear it up on art, his Daredevil a combination ninja/boxer/super hero. Franceso Mobili and Mike Hawthorne each contribute an issue but their artwork isn't so dissimilar from Checchetto's to be disruptive.
Zdarsky planted a lot of seeds that ultimately bore fruit in this one. Daredevil and Spidey have their come to Jesus meeting, Wilson Fisk and Typhoid Mary have new roles, and Elektra is up to something else all together.
The ending was already spoiler for me but it is a fitting result of Zdarsky's run leading up to this moment. I thought Zdarsky was done tearing down and building Daredevil back up but it seems he's adding additional rooms on to the house.
In the years to come, Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil run will be one of the runs people talk about alongside Frank Miller's. Five out of five stars.
