Daredevil, Volume 1: Chinatown

    Matt Murdock and Daredevil have returned from California. With the move has come some changes. By day, Matt Murdock,whose disbarment has been overturned, is now the newest member of the Manhattan District Attorney's office. At night, Daredevil has switched to a mostly black uniform and taken on an apprentice. Together, Murdock and Daredevil are seeking ways to take down a Chinese religious leader with possible underworld ties named Tenfingers. 
    And that's where I've got to stop the review and jump on a soapbox...
    By the end of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's dynamic run (Daredevil 2014-15), the whole world knew that Daredevil and Matt Murdock were one and the same. Yes, Murdock tried to 'kill himself' with help of the Kingpin. But by the last page of the final issue (#18) Murdock double-crossed Kingpin and seemed at peace with the world knowing his secret.
    But by the end of the first chapter of this volume, it's clear that nobody knows Daredevil's secret identity. In fact, some folks don't seem to be able to remember him at all. So when did this happen? When will the secrets of this be revealed? And will it be soon?
    I sure hope so. It's been about 3 years since Nick Fury whispered something in Thor's ear to make him unworthy to wield his hammer Mjolnr. I sure hope Marvel doesn't take as long to reveal how Daredevil made the world come down with a massive case of partial amnesia.
    A very gritty action-packed start to the new Daredevil. A little confusing with a great mystery at the heart of it all and oh so very complicated. There are not clear answers to what's going on here with Daredevil- yet! By hey, that's been the Man Without Fear in a nutshell since day one, hasn't it?

   Worth Consuming
