I’d give this volume 3.5 stars if I could, as the writing is pretty great and the artwork is superb (other than the two incidents where they’ve had to draft in a fill-in artist to do a few pages, which is jarring). This is the only King in Black tie-in that actually managed to be legitimately scary, which was cool.BUT!But, I’m struggling to get past the fact that we’ve seen the whole Matt-goes-to-jail-and-another-hero-fills-in-as-DD-while-he’s-locked-up storyline before… and not that long ago, e...

This was a lot of moving blocks, and so not a HUGE amount happens, but plenty of set up. Elecktra is whooping people's asses as Daredevil while Matt is in Jail. She's not having a good time, as she can't just gut people like normal she has to abide by Matt's no kill rule. She even meets a young girl who she begins to mentor. On the flip side Matt is trying to just serve his time. However, everyone in that prison, including the guy who runs it, wants him dead. This brings up a survival chapter th...

I'm really enjoying Elektra Daredevil. She's killing it while Matt is being a whiny punk.

Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky vol. 6: Doing Time This volume starts with Matt Murdock imprisoned, as Daredevil. Outside, Elektra has taken the role of Daredevil and she's trying to figure out how to do what Matt did. Very quickly in the first issue of the volume, the story gets interrupted by the King in Black crossover. Matt has to fight Knull in prison and Elektra has to fight Typhoid Mary who has been possessed by Knull's powers. Matt also gets briefly possessed by Knull, but he's able to set him...

Merely adequate Daredevil. Chip Zdarsky's run on the character really has its ups and downs. Doing Time is mostly down, largely because Knull intrudes for the first two issues, seriously upending any momentum we had with Daredevil Prime going to prison and Daredevil Elektra picking up his role in Hell's Kitchen.After everyone punches a boring symbiote or two, things kind of get back on track. Prison Devil hems and haws about wanting to prove he's not above the law. It's tedious. Numerous opportu...

3 stars matthew willingly choosing to go to prison because he thinks he deserved it.. i need to punch him

This was a fun volume!It starts off with King in black tie in where Elektra fights Mary and rescue this girl Alice who seems to be her new sidekick. Meanwhile Matt is dealing with prison riots thanks to rampaging symbiotes and makes some interesting choice. I like how this trade just had two issue of tie in and uses it to push the story forward like Mary's trauma and Alice's fate which have dire consequences going forward.Meanwhile in other place Elektra trains Alice, Matt is in jail and has to

Oops, Matt Murdock's in prison again. Haven't we been here before? And yet, Chip Zdarsky's take on the storyline feels almost entirely different to the last time this happened, mostly because the supporting characters and their reactions to it feel fresh and new.Honestly, the stuff going on outside the prison is sometimes more interesting than the Matt storyline. Mike Murdock's play for power, Elektra's new path as Daredevil and her protege, the Kingpin and Typhoid Mary's little on-again off-aga...

I'm really nervous about the landing now cause this run as the potential to be one of the all time great runs IMO for a character with no shortage of great runs.

Elektra becoming Daredevil is the single best decision Chip Zdarsky has made in this entire 30+ issue run. I am in love with this series and specifically this arc. This is peak Marvel comics.

Epic as usual. However, loses a star for the 2 issues that tie to another boring, yearly Marvel crossover story. When Marvel does "big events," they should stick to telling the story in a self-contained book. Or, maybe not do them at all? Hmm...

Doesn't quite soar to the heights of the previous volumes, largely due to Knull-related (k)nonsense in the first issues but things feel like they have course corrected by the end.The art by Checchetto really deserves a shout out, I'm loving his take on Elektra-as-Daredevil both in and out of costume.

The intrusion of a crossover event is never welcome, but a "King in Black" alien invasion is on so whatcha gonna do? Punch parasitic aliens of course. 'Cuz that's what Daredevil is all about, punching them aliens.Elektra, playacting at being Daredevil, retreads an old Catwoman story, taking in a stray girl in the midst of the chaos. And punches aliens. Matt Murdock broods in prison. And punches aliens. Mike Murdock schemes, but fails to punch any aliens. Wilson Fisk wants to punch aliens, but in...

i absolutely love elektra in this run . that is all

I do not care for the Matt Murdock story that Zdarsky has been playing with for the last 15 or so issues. I think it's silly. However, I think the Elektra-as-Daredevil half of the story is really fantastic. Watching Elektra try to fill in and play by a set of rules that is completely antithetical to her normal way of life is really great! If it wasn't for the Matt Murdock half of the book it'd probably be my favorite thing at Marvel right now. Alas, as is it's uneven, but there are some high hig...

I was worried this was going to be a run-of-the-mill tie-in to the King in Black event, but it was pretty decent. There's just enough to remind you that it's happening and has a driving effect on the plot, but it isn't really the primary focus. Elektra struggles to maintain order in the city while following Matt's rules and Matt tries to figure out exactly why he is in prison. Zdarsky makes some relevant points about the prison system and racism and then follows it up with reminding the reader t...

At the end of the last volume, a new status quo was established as whilst Matt Murdock serving his two-year prison sentence, still under the guise of Daredevil, Hell’s Kitchen still needs to be protected by a guardian devil. With Matt’s ex-girlfriend Elektra Natchios taking it upon herself to protect his neighbourhood and his legacy, can the new Daredevil live to her predecessor whilst facing off continuing threats like Mayor Wilson Fisk and the new Kingpin, Izzy Libris?However, before Elektra h...

Zdarsky's weakest volume. That's entirely due to the first two issues, which are a King in Black crossover, and about as intriguing as such crossovers usually are nowadays. (They're not; they're sound and fury signifying nothing).Fortunately, Zdarsky uses those issues a springboard for new plot threads, primarily in Electra taking on an apprentice and Fisk rediscovering love, and beyond that the final three issues are much more about the characterization and interesting plot twists that we've co...

I’m really enjoying this series :)

With one Daredevil in jail, another Daredevil patrols Hell's Kitchen...Zdarsky's Daredevil run has been great so far so it was inevitable that I would read this.Things continue rolling forward. Elektra has assumed the Daredevil and duties while Matt Murdock deals with prison life. The symbiote invasion derails things a bit but Zdarsky manages to roll with it. I like how Elektra has taken on a ward of sorts.Marco Checchetto continues to dominate things on art. Adriano di Benedetto, Mike Hawkthorn...
