Let me start this review by saying, you do not have to be a diehard Daredevil fan to get into this book.\u00a0 I will admit, I am not a huge fan of Daredevil, especially since the Fall from Grace storyline back in the \u201890s, but I would check out his book if the Punisher or any other character that I liked made a special appearance.\u00a0 Other than that, I usually get the trades if it was a story I was interested in.\u00a0 But with this latest series titled, End of Days, I was like I need to get this and review it for Somewwhatnerdy.\u00a0 I am glad I did!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, I am not trying to spoil the issue, but it cannot be helped.\u00a0 End of Days, means just that, the end of Daredevil.\u00a0 You open up to page one and you are right in the middle of an epic fight between Daredevil and Bullseye and it is a fight to the Death.\u00a0 Daredevil is getting clobbered and all the witnesses are worried about if they are catching everything on film.\u00a0 No one tries to help the Hell\u2019s Kitchen hero.\u00a0 They just watch him die.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The story then takes us to the Daily Bugle where a reporter named Ben Urich is refusing to write the story of what has occurred.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t want anything to do with glorifying the death of a hero, or making him look bad. \u00a0\u00a0You know how Jameson likes to spin things.\u00a0 Jonah finally talks Ben into giving the story a try.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After countless interviews, he finds one witness who feels like he does.\u00a0 The witness does not want to tarnish the name of a hero.\u00a0 This catches Ben\u2019s interest in how to approach his story. With the help of the witness, he learns that Daredevil said one last word before the final blow.\u00a0 The word was Mapone, but what does it mean.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben goes on this new angle writing about the life and trials of Matt Murdock.\u00a0 How he became a hero and how he fell in the eyes of the people with his last epic battle with the Kingpin.\u00a0 As Ben goes through these moments of Matt\u2019s life and writes notes he is unaware that a familiar shadow is watching him from the distance.\u00a0 But the Daredevil is dead, so who can it be? We will have to wait for issue #2 to see.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book gets a solid 15 out of 10 rating for me.\u00a0 I was consumed by the story on page one.\u00a0 The writing is that well, and the imagery is dark and sets the mood.\u00a0 I cannot wait until issue #2 hits the newsstands.\u00a0 Get your copy today if you haven\u2019t already.<\/strong><\/p>\n
