Daredevil season 1 finale recap booku1/31/2024 ![]() This chapter also sees Matt finally go public as Daredevil, a fantastically executed maneuver that gives this series even more potential than it already had. For the most part, this is a good story there are some great Daredevil fight scenes, some charming romance between Matt and Kirsten, and some encouraging moments from Foggy. Then, the book and series move into their conclusion, where Daredevil is being blackmailed into helping the Sons of the Serpent. The only real standout moment in this story is Kirsten McDuffie’s speech against racism, which works very well with the themes established earlier. This whole portion of the story feels so odd and out of place that it becomes hard to dig very deep into. While there, he encounters monsters and has a rather forgettable row with them before continuing on. Daredevil discovers the Sons of the Serpent are involved in the dark arts and travels to the middle of nowhere to learn more about this. The entertaining qualities found in this first story quickly give way as the following adventure feels more like a distracting subplot than anything else. This is a solid message on its own and a nice way to attack systemic racism in the world today. The Sons of the Serpent, Daredevil’s main enemy throughout this collection, are a group of white supremacists who have sewn racist undertones into the very fabric of society. This is also where the story starts building up some underlying themes regarding the evils of racism. The action and humor here is fun and makes this part of the story easy to like. Luckily, Daredevil recieves some help from Hank Pym to calm the crowd and hilariously misses the death trap due to his blindness. Jester manipulates a crowd into a mob and then sets a death trap for Daredevil. The first story in this volume is an entertaining confrontation between Daredevil and Jester, a villain who can control the media. Together, these stories do not create a bad book, they simply create one that feels more average than the high quality books which came earlier. There is still a good deal of entertainment here, but some of the positives are lost due to a poor structure. It starts with an average quality Daredevil story, moves on to a lackluster one, and then concludes with a finalle that works well but feels separate from the themes that bind the rest of the collection. 7 by Mark Waid is somewhat underwhelming. StoryĪs the final volume in this Daredevil series, Daredevil Vol. ![]() This is not the best book in this Daredevil series but it is still an alright book overall. However, there are still plenty of positives here that keep the book entertaining. Poor transitions in both story and themes clash with one lackluster storyline to hurt this collection. Overall: Though not a bad book, there are a number of small problems that prevent this from being the high quality collection it could have been. One of the storylines is rather lackluster. The book’s ending is well executed and builds up a lot of excitement for the next volume.Ĭons: Some of the book’s transitions feel a bit jarring. Pros: Daredevil is still written well and brings both action and humor with him.
