Daredevil 1

The new relaunch of the daredevil title by new creative team penned by Mark Waid. The story starts with daredevil travels to a mansion where a wedding between two mob families is taking place. Apparently daredevil receive news that there is going to be a hit at the wedding. But instead of a hit, it was an attempt to kidnap a little girl by a villain named 'spot'. Spot has teleportation capabilities that enables him to appear anywhere through black holes. Daredevil thwarts all attempts of spot to kidnap the girl and daredevil using his sixth sense points out the inside man that hired the spot. Spot killed off the inside man and daredevil managed to bring down spot. Its sad to see Spot only lasted around four pages with Daredevil. With his power, Spot could have done a lot more damage. I mean the guy can appear anywhere he wants and disappearing. Daredevil even managed to plant a kiss on the bride before kicking spot's ass. There's a new sense of humor in daredevil now.

Daredevil/Murdoch next receives a case of police brutality on a fellow muslim shopkeeper. But all his strategies to defend his new client ends up with the prosecutor using Murdoch's daredevil alter ego to win the case. In the end the case was thrown out and retrial is needed. Later the new assistant district attorney tips off Murdoch that there is more than meets the eye in the case trial as nobody wanted to represent the shopkeeper previously.


Murdoch proceeds to investigate further into the case. The story ends in a cliffhanger as daredevil is cornered by anti radar material shot from someone disrupted his senses. Being completely blind of his senses, daredevil is about to get hit by what looks like captain america's shield from behind.
 Is daredevil stepping into cap's turf?
