Collects Daredevil (2015) #1-3.

Back in black and on his home turf, Daredevil begins again in New York City as a new enemy emerges. Meanwhile his alter ego, Matt Murdock, is on a new side of the law in the District Attorney's office. Fighting crime in the shadows, prosecuting bad guys in the light, it's a whole new chapter for our man without fear- including the arrival of the devil's advocate. Welcome to Hell, Blindspot. And things quickly come to blows when the Man Without Fear and his new protégé are forced to take on a horde of Hand ninjas. And Matt Murdock's day job isn't going much better- his career as an ADA takes a severe hit when he's unable to indict local crime lord Tenfingers.

A fresh new start for one of my favorite super-heroes.We find DD training a new protege named Blindspot.Enter the Tenfinger cult and their mysterious leader.

[Terry Collins · Rating 2 out of 5]

Yet another in an endless series of Daredevil reboots finds our hero back in New York fighting against a crime lord with ten fingers on each hand (his name? Tenfingers. No word yet on whether or not he also has ten toes per foot). DD is also training a new partner, accepting and botching a job as an assistant district attorney, and dealing once again with the endless supply of ninjas that make up the organization of The Hand. Hints are dropped as to why no one knows that Matt Murdock is Daredevil any longer (I suspect sexual favors from DD were granted to Marvel's second rate Lucifer demon Mephisto - and there's a name that just drips with innuendo - but I could be wrong), but due to everyone suffering short term Daredevil related memory loss, Foggy Nelson is royally pissed off at his longtime pal. Strong artwork from Ron Garney who is doing some interesting things with his style and use of color carries you along, but ultimately, you read the three issues in this collection, shrug, and go "eh."
