I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Daredevil: Back in Black Vol 4 : Identity by Charles Soule (Writer), Goran Sudzuka (Artists), Ron Garney ( Artist), Marc LamiIng(Artist), Matt Milla (Colorist), Miroslav Mrva (Colorist), VC’s Clayton Cowles (Letter)




 In the previous comic, Blinspot comes across a painting made of over a hundred types of blood. Matt takes the case with the cops for him since he’s here illegally. Then some Inhumans are turned into art. They agree to work with Daredevil. Then Daredevil gets a call from Muse offering to share information when suddenly Blindspot calls from the courtroom to say that Muse has taken over. Daredevil follows Muse into the sewers. At some point Blindspot has his eyes gouged out.

With his guilt over Blindspot (more guilt than he usually feels) he sells all of his worldly goods and puts a hit on himself.  Daredevil also goes and talks to Father Jordan, a badass mysterious priest who is trying to tell him that what happened to Blindspot is not his fault.  At first, only the amateurs come and this ticks him off because he only wants the serious contenders but that costs money. So, he finds more money and ups the bounty and gets the guy he's been hoping to get: Bullseye. The bane of his existence. The one who has caused him so much pain. He can sense when the bullet comes. Will he deflect it of will he let Bullseye land his target?

In the next part is where Daredevil is confessing his sins to Father Jordan and explaining how the world doesn't know who he is.  Once everyone knew who he was and he found that he regretted coming out of the closet as it were and began to look for a way to reverse it.  Then one night two of the purple children (Kilgrave, a hypnotist and killer has some children who were hidden from him and from themselves) came to his door saying that the other children were missing and in danger and would Matt help them? He put on his suit and they followed the signal of the other purple children to Kilgrave's lair where he's waiting for Daredevil and wants to know what's the worst thing he would ever do? What do you think it is?

This comic is so great. It delves deeply into Matt's psyche with his guilt and introduces a new character with Father Jordan who I really hope to see again;  Killgrave is creepy and a good villain for Matt to go up against.  And again the black and white and red coloring of this book is just amazing and perfect;  I'm really enjoying this series. I give this a five out of five stars.
