I am not, nor have I ever been a Daredevil fan. It's not that I have anything against the character, but I am not a Marvel guy and there is nothing that ever particularly drew me to the story of Matt Murdock. That said, I really liked this issue. I do not really have a clue about what has been going on in Daredevil's life for the past year or so, but there was enough in the summary page and in the issue so that I had the gist of what was happening. The story was very well put together, and it establishes a very interesting new status quo for the Man Without Fear. The preview for the List and the Ann Nocenti story were good as well, and I enjoyed the reprint of the Frank Millar issue. The issue was strong in terms of art as well. The art in the main story is gritty and dark, which befits both the character and the story being told. Interestingly, the preview art from the List was much brighter, in contrast to the situation that Matt finds himself in as this mini begins. The art from David Aja in the "3 Jacks" story harkens back to a more classic comic style, and it perfectly fits the story being told. The Millar reprint shows him when his art was less stylized, and at what was likely the height of his career as both an artist and writer. The pinups in the middle of the issue are all great, and I was particularly surprised by Brian Bendis' piece. Overall, I enjoyed this book, even as a less than casual fan of the character. It was certainly better than some of the other "milestone" books that have come out lately (I'm looking at you Captain America #600!). Story: 9 Art: 9 Overall: 9 |

•Return of the Kind Conclusion: Brubaker/Various In May of this year the season finale of House MD aired. You could feel something was going to change by the end of the episode. Indeed something did it was a major change. Issue 500 of DD from the opening pages has the same feel; you know something isn’t going to be the same. WOW! Is all I have to say I had planned to give Diggle only one issue but due to the mind blowing ending I plan to be on board for the entire run. Daredevil has never been taken in this direction and it excites me. Now the art side of things are just as good as the story. Lark/Gaudiano own here as does the Klaus Janson page. Which Janson is doing the art for the upcoming Daredevil: The End which looks great. I am blow away by how Brubaker ended this run, I actually feel it was a better ending than the ending Bendis had on his run. Can’t wait for more loved it. 9.7/10 •The List Preview: Diggle/Tan Now I won’t give this a score, but I will talk about it. It shows me that Diggle might have a few tricks up his sleeve. Tan’s art actually looks good for once which is a great thing. Full issue hits store 9/9/09 check it out should be awesome. •Jacks: Nocenti/Aja Great art, anything Aja does is gold. The story is pretty good as well, it seems like something out of the 80’s which isn’t a bad thing. I enjoyed it for what it was. And again Aja=WIN! 8.5/10 •Pin Up gallery: Various Bendis? I remembered reading that he was a artist and let me just say I really liked his pin-up. Was it the best? No. I personally wish Rafael Grampa’s Pin-up would have been a variant cover for this issue I would of dropped at least $30 on it. Overall very solid issue great ending to the main arc, whole new direction for once. 9.1/10 |

Really? Just the two of us, huh? That's awesome and sad at the same time.
Wordy as usual.

), still, you'd think there'd be a good way to tag these guys so you'd know the particulars. For new readers, that's a lot to ask that they know all these people or at least have a basic understanding of who's who.
