I was disappointed in the direction Zdarsky takes it after Know Fear. SPOILER - the second volume in this series falls off quite a bit from the first. He has a great supporting cast and I particularly like it when the cameos feel organic and purposeful (which reminds me of the Bendis run). He is also one of the more complex and cerebral of Marvel's characters. The first volume was spectacular! Daredevil is the epitome of the street-level hero that gets down and dirty in the grit, stink, and grime of the criminal underworld. I noticed it received a 4.8 Customer Review score on Amazon, 4.29 on Goodreads, and an 8.7 Critic score on Comic Book Round Up. I purchased this TPB for about $14 on Amazon. I'm a big fan of Daredevil and have read all the other seminal runs (Miller, Smith, Bendis, Brubaker, and Waid). Prior to picking it up, the only other thing I had read from either creator was Zdarsky's enjoyable "Stillwater". Daredevil: Know Fear, by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto (Marvel) It was hard not to notice this series after it was nominated for the Eisner trifecta in 2020 (Best Continuing Series, Best Writer and Best Cover Artist) and again in 2021 (Best Writer, Best Penciller/Inker, and Best Continuing Series).
