Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky, Vol. 2: No Devils, Only God by Chip ZdarskyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Daredevil: No Devils, Only God collects Daredevil 6-10, written by Chip Zdarsky with art by Lalit Kumar Sharma, Jorge Fornes, and Jay Leisten.
No Devils, Only God picks up where Know Fear left off. Matt's a parole officer and trying to live a normal life. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk is going legit but The Owl is going to need to be dealt with down the road and Detective Cole North is running afoul of the NYPD.
Zdarsky is clearly rebuilding Daredevil from the ground up, letting his wounds heal and letting Matt try to reconcile his violent nature with his Catholic faith. Ordinarily, I'd gripe about this many Daredevil issues without seeing the iconic red costume but Zdarsky makes it work. As I said with the last volume, I'm anxious to see where all this is leading.
I wasn't crazy about the shift in art since the last volume but the art team gets it done. I prefered Jorge Fornes doing the works in issue #10 over Sharma and Leisten. I also have to gripe about the inconsistencies in the way Mindy was drawn. With Sharma and Leisten, she started off looking hot but was drawn dumpy a couple issues later. Meanwhile, she suddenly got hot again when Fornes was drawing her. I can understand when you're swapping artists that a character's look can change but not in two issues with the same art team. Pick a look, damn it!
No Devils, Only God is another step for Chip Zdarsky up the Daredevil ladder, provided he can get a consistent art team on the book. Four out of five stars.
