Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky #7

Collects Daredevil (2019) #31-36.

The Angel of Death has come to Hell’s Kitchen. As a series of grisly murders tests Elektra’s mettle — and her commitment to her role as the new Daredevil — the city spirals into a state of panic. With the body count mounting, even the Marvel Universe’s deadliest assassin is at somewhat of a loss — because this serial killer can be in more than one place at a time! A team? A mutant? Or something else entirely? Meanwhile, Matt Murdock faces challenges of his own behind bars after being exposed to a dangerous and experimental compound that makes subjects more aggressive and violent. Whatever happens, one thing is certain: Matt won’t be getting time off for good behavior! The next installment of Chip Zdarsky’s Eisner Award-nominated run delivers twists, turns and unexpected allies!

OH NO MATT, HE ISN’T CONTENT!!! OH GOD OH FUCK!!!

I started to sour a bit on this book last volume due to how uninteresting I found Matt’s prison arc to be, and I have soured on it a bit more since that arc continued being terrible this volume. But thankfully, Matt finally gets out of prison by the end of this volume and is back to being Daredevil. I still hated the prison arc throughout these past two volumes though, and it just got way too fucking schlocky around issue #33 for me. Elektra’s Daredevil still shines in her arc this volume when she has to go against Bullseye and some of his clones though, and the ending with the Kingpin sets up Devil’s Reign PERFECTLY. So this volume isn’t all bad.

But as mentioned before, everything with Daredevil investigating the antisocial rage drug keeping people in prison is completely underbaked, uninteresting, and way too over-the-top to work for me though. I have found pretty much everything regarding Matt in these past two volumes to be jarring as fuck and not very fun to read. The ending of issue #33 straight-up made me think I missed a tie-in issue or something for a second. But again, as mentioned before, the Elektra and Fisk storylines are still going strong and saved this volume. I also started to warm back up to Matt’s arc once #35 rolled around, but god knows how many issues of finding the main character’s arc beyond annoying isn’t exactly the best sign.

I’m also not a fan of Marco Checchetto only getting to draw one of the six issues here. I get he was doing Devil’s Reign at the time and wanted to get ahead and everything, but the fill-in art takes me out of the story sometimes. It’s not egregiously bad or anything, it’s just not Checchetto. And the issue Checchetto does isn’t even the most action-packed one of this series, so that was a weird issue to get him to draw. Even if just the last issue was drawn by him, it’d be a four-star book.

As it stands, this was a good enough way for Chip Zdarsky to end the first half of his Daredevil run, even if the quality dips a bit in certain sections. I’m still very interested to see how this big Marvel event will set up the upcoming second leg of Zdarsky’s DD run though. And even if I don’t think this is the legendary ending to Zdarsky’s first half like others claim it is, it is still a solid enough one that kept me hooked enough to stay excited about the rest of this series.

With Daredevil behind bars, Elektra wears the devil's garb and soon will be going up against one of his greatest enemies, one that has already put her in the grave once before...

Daredevil: Lockdown collects Daredevil #31-36.

I thought Zdarsky's Daredevil run might be losing steam the last couple volumes. It was not, just building like a pressure cooker. In this volume, Matt continues doing time and discovers some shady shit. Meanwhile, Elektra is trying to live by Matt's code when Bullseye goes on a killing spree.

I don't want to spoil anything else but some serious shit goes down. Blood is spilled and the bodies hit the floor. Daredevil: Lockdown was a great way to end one Daredevil series in order to kick off another. I wonder where the hell Zdarsky is going to take the Daredevils next. Easy 5 out of 5 Bullseyes.

This was epic!

Daredevil finds about Re-cid and well prison riots and then going against Cole and the drama there meanwhile Elektra has to deal with the clones of Bullseye who are more ferocious than ever and I love the drama and tension here. Plus the lethality of it is just next level and the heroes joining and Matt too and having some great realizations but the big thing is what happens between Fisk and Mary and the epic conclusions that leads to Devils reign!

Its a great volume with a lot of great moments for Matt and Elektra both and a great emphasis on Kingpin and making him the threat he was always meant to be and giving him his due and also some interesting set up for the next event. Plus the art is always good and Marco excels in that and makes this a much better reading experience.

8.0/10

Matt is locked up. The city is in lockdown.

A serial killer brings terror to the citizens, as he seems to kill randomly and with no obvious motive. Elektra is on it, but this might turn out to be the hardest challenge she faced as Daredevil.

Matt is also busy investigating. A new drug seems to make prisoners violent and the prison he is on has something to do with it.

A very tense volume and a solid run so far.

[James DeSantis · Rating 4 out of 5]

The end of a legendary run. Daredevil is lucky to have so many great runs.

Classics/Legendary - Miller/Bendis/Brubaker
Good/Great - Soule/Waid

And I think I have to put Chips right there with Classic. Though today they annouced he will be returning to Daredevil in April so we shall see.

So this run ends on a happier note than expected. A wedding. And Matt is still living through his convictions of what is right and wrong. Elecktra trying to be Daredevil as well. A lot of set up to who will be the new Kingpin. Basically, a lot of moving parts. This feels like season 1 is ending instead of the run itself.

Overall, great stuff. I thought the bullseye idea was a little cheesy but the fights and moments were great. Love Elecktra's fight, Matt's final straw, and Kingpin's ending. I hope we get more great stuff in the future.

A 4 out of 5.

PT A série mantém-se forte.

Fisk tenta manipular o Mercenário para o trazer para o seu controlo, mas as coisas não correm como planeado. E isto é apenas uma amostra do que está para vir.

EN The series remains strong.

Fisk attempts to manipulate Bullseye under his control, but things don’t go as planned. And that’s just a glimpse of what’s in store.

Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky vol. 7: Lockdown

This volume finds Matt Murdock imprisoned, as Daredevil, while also working as an informant for the FBI. Outside, Mike Murdock and Butch are still conspiring to take control of organized crime in New York. At the same time Elektra is still working as Daredevil and she's trying to take out Bullseye, who has escaped from Kingpin's labs, with three clones and starts randomly killing people, allover New York. Kingpin himself seems exhausted with life and is involved in a weird romance with Typhoid Mary. Daredevil, while trying to expose the prison for creating rage and violence drugs, he gets infected by them and he leads a huge riot. After he learns about Bullseye being on the loose, he escapes and he tries to help Elektra with capturing him.
This was a very enjoyable volume. At this point Chip Zdarsky has been writing Daredevil for some time and it's clear that his understanding of all the characters is incredible. Elektra and Matt have always had an extremely different way of working and it's great seeing Elektra finding a way to work as Daredevil in her own way, while still keeping Matt's values. Matt himself, in this volume, is still struggling, in his head, with some ideas, like what to do with Fisk and what's a superhero's purpose. The idea of what superheroes need to do and if they are above the law is an important one throughout the series, but it's further analyzed in this volume, in a very interesting way. Furthermore, something else I really liked in this volume is the romance between Fisk and Mary. Although Fisk is a vilain and has done multiple horrible things, I still like him a lot and I like seeing him happy. Since I read Frank Miller's legendary Daredevil run and his amazing graphic novel "Daredevil: Love and War" I've felt some kind of affection for Kingpin. He's a man who has lost a lot and has been left with huge emotional scars because of everything that happened with Vanessa, so it's nice to see him finding love again, in the face of Mary. Another character I liked in this volume is Cole. He's certainly more of a secondary character at this point, but his character development since the beginning of the series has been amazing. Also, I love the way the comic shows how private prisons do anything in order to make more money and they don't actually care about rehabilitating the inmates. While this volume includes some more serious themes, like this, it also has a lot of action. I'm usually not a huge fan of very action packed comics, but Chip Zdarsky has a way of writing fight scenes that makes me enjoy them a lot. The big fight between Elektra and Bullseye was certainly a highlight of this volume and it was very entertaining.
While I liked this volume a lot, it had some problems. My main problem with it is the same one I had with the pervious volume. There are just too many things happening at the same time, that it feels like too little happen in each specific part of the series, in every issue. Also, the story with Butch and Mike Murdock trying to take over the control of organised crime in New York feels very uninteresting to me and I think it's a missed opportunity, because the idea is very good, but it's actually not that well executed. That might be mainly because I'm very unfamiliar with both characters and Chip Zdarsky doesn't go too deep into their personalities here, so it's very hard to connect with them and care about what they're doing.
My feelings about the artwork in this volume are mixed. One issue is drawn by the amazing Marco Checchetto and it's absolutely gorgeous, but the rest are drawn by different artist, that are certainly not at the same level. That being said, the artwork is certainly never bad. The panel to panel storytelling is always great and very understandable and all the artists are great at drawing exciting fight scenes.
Overall, this might not be the best volume of the series, but it's still really great and it makes for a very enjoyable read.
9.5/10

As we now have not one, two Daredevils, one of which is still masked and serving his prison sentence, whilst the other is taking over the mantle of her predecessor and fighting to protect the streets of Hell’s Kitchen. Both are struggling in their way about what it means to put on the mask, from Matt Murdock becoming disgruntled with the law during his time at a corrupt prison, whilst Elektra is trying to teach the young Alice to be strong, only for the former to cover her weakness after years of being an assassin.

Although Chip Zdarsky nails the flawed characterisation of both Daredevils through the trademark inner monologues, he also finds nuance in his supporting cast, from Mayor Wilson Fisk feeling conflicted with his love towards Typhoid Mary, to Matt’s twin brother Mike has worries towards his partnership towards Butch, Fisk’s other son. Zdarsky knows how to use everyone, whether it is through dialogue or action, and though you get the sense the story isn’t quite over with these final issues on the Daredevil title, the times they are a-changing.

As Zdarsky has been telling a crime epic, which is what you usually expect with Daredevil, but since this is the Marvel universe, you could go a little crazy with an element of sci-fi. And so with Bullseye on the loose, which is a tradition in Daredevil comics, not only does Elektra have to face off against him, she also has to fight some clones of Bullseye, which were created as a way for Fisk to somehow him, failing spectacularly. As silly as it sounds, given Marvel’s previous reputation with clone storylines, it somehow works in how the action informs the characters.

Speaking of the action, there are four artists involved throughout these six issues, all of which are coloured by Marcio Menyz, whose moody colouring creates a consistency for this volume. With so much going on with multiple characters and two major action sequences – Elektra versus Bullseyes and Matt’s epic prison riot – all the artists are doing terrific work, though some are better than others. Regular artist Marco Checchetto only does one issue here and it’s clearly the best art with more detailed characters and dynamic panel layouts. I would’ve loved to see more from Checchetto, who is committed to the Marvel event storyline, Devil’s Reign.

From the final issue, which perhaps wraps things up a little too quickly, there is certainly a change in the status quo with a number of characters, but the story is far from over as Zdarsky is currently writing the aforementioned Devil’s Reign and Daredevil: Woman Without Fear. Whilst we’re expected Zdarsky and Checchetto to return with a new Daredevil #1 later this year, this initial run ends on a high note, honouring what makes the Man Without Fear special and taking him and his cast into new directions.

[Rod Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

Chip Zdarsky wraps up the first leg of his Daredevil run with a bit of a whimper with half-hearted prison conspiracy, riot, and escape sequence to wrap up the season one arc. He also slaps in silly clones and a sillier wedding before shuffling some chairs around on the deck in preparation for the big crossover event cruise he's planning next in Devil's Reign. He and artist Marc Checchetto then have a new Daredevil #1 coming in the next few weeks.

I'll keep following along for now, but my interest is diminishing.

i really really really enjoyed this run. i’m a sucker for character driven stories and zdarsky delivered. i’m excited for the conclusion of devil’s reign and the new run in june !!

[Chris Lemmerman · Rating 5 out of 5]

With Matt still in jail, Elektra must battle the newest problem plaguing New York's streets, and it's one she's intimately familiar with - Bullseye! Meanwhile, the Kingpin makes his latest move with Typhoid Mary at his side, and a new discovery sets the stage for Devil's Reign.

Another stellar volume of Daredevil from Zdarsky; he's clearly got a larger plan in place here, which has been evident for a while now, and the shifting pieces move further and further towards their ultimate endgame. The revelation regarding the start of Devil's Reign has kind of been staring us in the face for a long time now (and I'm glad Zdarsky keeps mentioning the previous run's explanation rather than just skirting around it - continuity is best dealt with head on), but it still comes as a nice surprise when it does finally land.

It's odd to think that the weakest part of this is actually the Matt plot, but that's more because everyone else is so damn interesting. Since Zdarsky is treading old ground (Matt was imprisoned at the end of Bendis' run), it's quite clever to make that the B plot rather than rehashing stuff we've seen before - it makes the stuff with Matt feel fresh because all of the surrounding material is too.

Mike Hawthorne ends his time on Daredevil with the first two issues here. Marco Checchetto returns for the middle issue before heading off to draw Devil's Reign, while Stefano Landini and Manuel Garcia wrap things up. It's a shame that Checchetto can't draw it all, but understandable - he's only got one pair of hands.

This may be the end of Zdarsky's Daredevil for now, but there's still a hell of a lot of story left to tell.

[Dakota Morgan · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm officially tired of Chip Zdarsky's run on Daredevil. Lockdown was fine, in that it was fast-paced, action-packed, and decent looking. Did it make much sense? Eh. Did it further the character? No. Did it leave some interesting threads dangling? Maybe?

Daredevil, now an FBI informant in prison, tries to uncover the warden's secret. Surprise: the warden is injecting prisoners with a chemical that makes them and nearby people violent so the prison remains full. This odd twist is revealed mostly off-screen, as is the fact that Daredevil himself was injected with the chemical and thus has a weirdly aggressive turn for a minute or two.

But then everything is Back to Normal and Daredevil-Prisoner is once again Daredevil-Superhero Who Grumbles. This feels like the latest in a long line of false resets for our hero.

Meanwhile, ElektraDevil battles Bullseye and his clones and Kingpin's feelings for Typhoid Mary come to a head. As is often the case, Kingpin's deal seems more interesting than Daredevil's.

Até que Chipz Zdarsky tem conseguido manter a bola do Demolidor em alta, mantendo uma narrativa um pouquinho acima do que Charles Soule fazia com demonão da Cozinha do Inferno na sua vez. Mas uma coisa que está me incomandando bastante nesta fase de Matt Murdock não é tanto o roteiro, mas a arte irregular. Cada encadernado tem praticamente um tipo de arte por edição, isso quando não são duas artes por fascículo. E geralmente as artes, fora as do Marco Checchetto são bastante ruins, principalmente em comparação àquele que devia ser o desenhista principal do título. Neste encadernado temos bastantes acontecimentos, mas também dá a impressão que tudo está acontecendo muito rápido e perdemos alguma coisa no caminho. Parece que uma parte da história foi cortada pelo roteirista ou pelos editores e ficou por assim mesmo. Quem ler a parte da rebelião na cadeiavai entender do que eu estou falando. O encadernado acaba com um acontecimento bastante importante que vai dar início à saga Reinado do Demônio. A ver como se dará essa nova megassaga da Marvel quando for publicada no Brasil em breve.

[Machiavelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one keeps the tension high from start to finish. Matt’s still in prison, facing the fallout from a dangerous compound that’s driving inmates violent — while Elektra steps up as Daredevil in Hell’s Kitchen, holding the city together against chaos and a wave of cloned Bullseyes.

The dual storylines hit hard: Matt wrestling with guilt and faith behind bars, Elektra trying to honor his code while being true to herself. Fisk’s uneasy romance with Typhoid Mary and Butch’s moment facing Hammerhead add even more depth to the city’s power games.

Checchetto only draws one issue here, but the fill-in art holds up, and Marcio Menyz’s colors keep it visually tight — moody, cinematic, and alive. Overall really liked this volume and continue to have loved this run overall. It’s not perfect, but powerful. Zdarsky’s Daredevil continues to hit that balance of grit, heart, and moral struggle that makes this run so special.

[Jesse A · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Daredevil and Elektra story here is good but it gets a little overbooked at times.

[Mike · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elektra as Lady Daredevil is awesome. Ultimate psycho Bullseye is awesome. This whole run has been a total win for Daredevil fans.

It has just enough character introspection to plunk some meaning into the story while still making it a violent and entertaining parade of battles and showdowns.

There are also some crossovers that give you just enough taste of the full universe without diluting the focus. I loved it.

[Carlex · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chip Dzarsky has done a wonderful job on this series. Arguably one of the reasons superhero comics are still worth reading. I usually focus more on the scripts than on the drawings, but I can say that the various artists involved maintain the level of the scriptwriter. So just excelsior!

Daredevil Vol. 7 Lockdown collects issues 31-36 of the Marvel Comics series written by Chip Zdarsky with art by Marco Checchetto, Mike Hawthorne, Stefano Landini, Francesco Mobili, and Manuel Garcia.

Matt Murdock remains in prison but is secretly selected as an FBI informant to investigate a series of murders and disappearances in the prison he is being held in. Meanwhile New York is under siege by Bullseye who is on a murdering rampage and it is up to Elektra to stop him.

This arc is a bit hokey but still really good. I thought the Bullseye storyline leaned very close to being in Batman/Joker territory. The storylines have approached their crescendo before the Devil’s Reign crossover event.

[Fraser Simons · Rating 4 out of 5]

I dug the character arcs in this quite a bit, even if I know it subsequently becomes very derivative with the next contained arc, whatever that was called. With Matt’s fake brother being real dumb and the same old same old characters playing out beyond that. But I am here to see what comes of the Elektra DD team-up, at least.

[Craig · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit of a drop-off in quality from the former heights this run had reached. The story is a bit muddled and the art isn't as strong as in earlier arcs. Still, it's obvious the Zdarsky run will be remembered...

[Javier Lárraga · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un cierre algo tibio para esta etapa pero al menos dejó la mayoría de los cabos resueltos y las pautas para un nuevo conflicto en el horizonte.

Chip Zdarsky trató de cerrar con broche de oro esta etapa del diablo guardian y aunque yo considero que no estuvo a la altura de los volumenes anteriores creo que fue un final satisfactorio. Mientras que Matt Murdock sigue expiando sus pecados en prision y trata de resolver una terrible conspiración que involucra a todo el sistema judicial, Elektra esta luchando contra un desquiciado Bullseye que esta matando ciudadanos comunes, cuando la cifra asciende hasta las 3 cifras y ni los telépatas pueden localizarlo esto se vuelve una verdadera emergencia que ni los vengadores o el poderoso alcalde Fisk pueden contener. ¿Serán los diablos de Hell's Kitchen suficientes para detener esta horda de asesinatos aleatorios que parecen ocurrir en varios lugares a la vez?

No me malentiendan, la primicia fue buena pero creo que las motivaciones de Bullseye para hacer lo que hizo no fueron explicadas del todo, tampoco que el resto de super humanos convenientemente no pudieran encontrarlo pero Elektra si, a mi gusto creo que Chip trato de que el lector sobreestimara la emergencia pero sin darnos un motivo real para hacerlo y aunque las peleas entre Elektra y Bullseye fueron buenas el final fue algo anticlimatico con Bullseye imitando algo que haría el joker jaja, no pretendo hacer spoilers pero que el asesino mas letal del mundo se ponga a hacer una tortura psicológica nadamas porque si pues como que no.

De ahi en fuera la trama de la prisión tambien terminó algo apresurada y lo que vino después igual.

A pesar de todo Lockdown tiene esta puntuación porque aunque no fue tan épico como los volumenes pasados fue interesante ver los grandes cambios y repercusiones que este tomo tendrá no solo en la vida de los Daredevils, sino en todo el universo Marvel, Chip logró que el cierre tambien se volviera un volumen de transición para algo que se esta acercando con mucha rapidez. Si me preguntaran por la mejor etapa del personaje sin duda diría que fue la de Chip Zdarsky, estoy ansioso por ver lo que sigue en Devils Reign...

Tak nám ukončili Daredevila pánové!
Jop, tahle interpretace postavy je prostě top. Příběh je boží, postavy se nádherně vyvíjí až na to finále. To působí nedotaženě a dost otevřeně, tam jsem zvědavý jak s tím Chip ještě zamíchá (příští týdne startuje DD event Devil's Reign). Vyloženě mě mrzí, jak často se mění napříč knihou artisti, nemám to rád a tady to bylo pomalu ze sešitu na sešit, nikdo z nich není špatný ale ta konzistence mi v téhle sérii chybí.
Jinak asi nejlepší DD run.

[Khurram · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great ending to this story arc, but the series rolls on. If the last book was transitions into the new roles, this is ripping up the rule book kicking butt and solving problems that way.

Matt is the man on the inside, literally. Bullseye is on the loose in New York. If Elektra's promise to do things Matt's way is going to be tested, this is a test she will happily fail. Butch and Mike make their moves, but is it too much for one of them?

I have to say I am glad Elektra is in this series, but I can see she is not at her lethal best because of her promise. This phase is done. I am really looking forward to the next phase of the series. The book finishes with a varient cover gallery.

I've had this for a few months, and I finally picked it up!! This was a really nice Daredevil comic, there's something I definitely missing here, by not reading this in order, but I like the moment where we got here!! I think my favorite thing here is you feel Elektra is older and more responsible, there's significantly a different vibe from her in this in comparison to other things I've read with her!!! Also really appreciated all the other characters around!! Really nice read!!!

[Benji Glaab · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really high quality run overall. Checcheto and Zdarsky have done some amazing story telling. I'm so glad I decided to dip back into Daredevil after a 20+ year hiatus. Things get a but murky in reading order from here but looks like there are a few more volumes going forward

A series that has never let me down. Zdarsky is a genius. Can't wait to see what comes next with this run.

[Lucas Lima · Rating 4 out of 5]

An end of an era for Zdarsky's run, so far, still developing Matt, as a person and as a hero.

Bullseye is back, with Wilson Fisk making a plan that had so many chances of not working it, and Elektra is going to fix it. Another good chapter in the feud of this two great characters. We got a rebellion on prision, with Matt discovering what really was happening with the prisioners, Cole has a nice feat on this arc, and, on the end, after a lot of battles, we got... a marriage. And man, what an amazing way to wrap it all up.

Zdarsky really bring the human sides of our fellow superheroes, trying to put their feet on the ground and trying to find a place between the normal and average people of New York. The dialogue of Spider Man with the cop in the end was beautiful. Really brought up what this run is really about.

I know this will keep up again, after Devil's Reign, but i probably will wait for the next TPB of this. But, again, Daredevil is just so luck to have a lot of good creative teams behind him on his books. And this is just another one of them.
