Review of 'Daredevil, born again' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

The first two-thirds was really good. I think Murdock is his best when he's struggling and full of doubt, and Fisk definitely lays him really low. (I really liked Fisk's portrayal.) But the resolution--once Nuke shows up, and the Avengers cameo--didn't seem to fit. It was a little too over the top, a little too apocalyptic, and really at odds with the pacing of the rest of the story.

I'd far have preferred a showdown between Daredevil and Fisk, considering how much the Kingpin dominated Murdock during their first confrontation.

Truth be told, the fact that this story is consistently listed near the top of "best comic book stories ever" lists, combined with the fact that it merely registered near the top of the "meh" scale for me, makes me wonder if the super hero genre simply isn't the right medium for me to be consuming content in.
