Matt's secret identity has been exposed so many times that it would be ridiculous to think that he could be ever have one again but for some reason the world doesn't know who he actually is once again. The reason behind it might be connected to the new partner he has.
This marks yet another new beginning for the character of Daredevil who, as many would know, recently received a quite acclaimed run written by Mark Waid who handled things in a different manner. Here however, he's apparently returning to his classic grim and gritty style and handled by Charles Soule of all people. How does it fare?
Well, I think it needed a bit more overall.
For one, Soule is playing with the mystery about what happened to Matt and his secret identity, for some reason the world once again is unaware of his life as a vigilante, the author doesn't give many answers about what happened but he's certainly playing with that plot-point in terms of characterization.
Speaking of which, I think is pretty solid although seeing such an abrupt change of character for Matt since the last volume is a bit weird. Now he seems colder, much more willing to put criminals at risk and even treating his best friend Foggy in a cruel way which makes me wonder if this will be explained in the future.
The writing itself is solid for the most part. The dialogue flows nicely and there are certain aspects that a lawyer like Soule certainly handles well, no complaints.
Ron Garney handles the artwork and this is a quite different style for him admitedly, it's almost Frank Millery in its tone with a kind of work that evokes "grim and gritty" and is certainly not bad in that matter.
So, I would say that this is not bad but I wish it would have been more impressive.
