Even before closing the introduction ritual, it seemed inevitable that Daredevil fights the demonic representation of seven deadly sins – the final showdown was with rage. What sin is better representing a fearless man? Violent and retaliatory justice, superficially, has been undredged in good faith or for good purposes, but has always been unnecessarily brutal.
Amazing
The introduction ritual is a story about walking the tightrope itself. Due to all the stories of hell and the meaning of Damy, the story was overstated and almost carefree in the delivery of actions. Ignoring that subtext, Daredevil was a book full of colorful guest stars and was a cartoon-style setup on an almost Saturday morning.
However, its format is limited and aims for a decisive purpose. The final ritual, the fourth volume of the series, sees its ending, but may not be as conclusive as the readers would have hoped for. Pride is instantly defeated by Matt Murdoch’s humble self-doubt, but the conclusion of anger is not at all a conclusion: anger wins. Daredevil is undoubtedly guilty, and his brutal choice leaves a loss in the ultimate conclusion.
Amazing
By this conclusion things will undoubtedly change due to the ritual of introduction. Not a priest anymore, but miraculously reverted to his official status as a lawyer, and released from the nasty narrative bonds of the storyline, Daredevil is set to return to some form of classic normality (as normal as Murdoch’s life has ever been). By the end of this book, we know where he stands as a faith, his relationships, and adventurer. It’s a book that I look forward to the next arc, as if patiently waiting for the story to arrive at this crossroads.
It’s not enough about how powerful Aaron Kuder’s artwork is throughout this execution. It’s a great shape here. The devil feels as terrifying as their owned bodies (Nelsons of the Mist, Targets of Pride, and Painful Ricchus of Smirk), and Daredevil feels bold and dynamic. The book’s turn has a distinctive atmosphere and, if you’re lucky, it will go down as a visual landmark for the franchise.
Ultimately, the final ritual feels like a book that you want to do in its own right, and is pleased to have come to that dark but action-packed conclusion. It was a wild ride, but the ride is sharp.
