In the most shocking issue of Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s landmark DAREDEVIL epic yet, Elektra finds herself at the center of an international incident that threatens to put her, Matt Murdock and everything they hold dear on a collision course with the Avengers – after which, things may never be the same!

Daredevil #6 returns to the very strong character work from the first three issues that still took place in New York. Issues four and five both dealt with Matt’s transition to the leadership of the Fist (especially four). But both were more nuts and bolts plot oriented. And while this issue does significantly advance the plot via Elektra’s scenes, the strength of the issue is the character beats which are what has made the series compelling from the beginning. - 90

The Story: Zdarksy crafts an entertaining and thought provoking story in this issue. I love the parallel between Matt’s philosophical mission and Elektra’s physical one. The story has some great tension throughout especially in the scene with Matt and Bullet in the kitchen and Elektra facing off against Iron Man. I can’t wait to see where this story goes next. The Art: De Latorre delivers some great visuals and I love the changes in style between Matt and Elektra’s stories. - 90
But Why Tho?
Daredevil #6 is a brilliant character issue. It allows those that have just arrived a chance to demonstrate their personality in what is quickly growing into a large cast of eccentric figures. Those at the heart of the story, Matt and Elektra, have spent a while building an army with the ability to take on the Hand, and it is great to see the strains that becoming a leader has on those with the world on their shoulder. Their time at their base has often seemed like one of training and tranquility. But with one final page, Zdarsky introduces a figure that is the opposite of tranquil. - 90

This issue helps to progress the upcoming war between the Fist and the Hand. A wild reveal will have you wondering how much power the Hand holds, Daredevil is dealing with a heavy crown as a leader, and Elektra will be on the run. Are they strong enough for war? Zdarsky and de LaTorre bring intense drama with the Red Fist Saga. - 80

Daredevil #6 continues to up the stakes as The Fist vs The Hand war escalates even more. Chip Zdarsky and Rafael De Latorre do a phenomenal job with the story being told around Matt Murdock and Elektra Natchios. That said, now that Frank Castle has been introduced into the story as a physical presence Zdarsky and company need to do a better job with how they bring in plot beats from the ongoing Punisher series into their Daredevil work. While it is a concern, I do trust Zdarsky to deliver a compelling story. - 60

Daredevil #6 continues the extended break in the action to engage in multiple therapy sessions with the recently escaped Raft inmates. The art looks great, and the dialog is well-crafted, but the story is moving at a snail’s pace, resulting in a well-crafted but dull issue. - 20

This comic is the definition of a middling issue, and the Red Fist Saga has been a less than satisfying story. I can’t tell if Zdarsky’s fixation on this internal conflict has turned into obsession, that he’s dealing with concepts so big that he can’t answer any of the questions he’s posing, or if it’s proof that the man who’s been writing Daredevil needs a break.
