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 1: Chinatown by Charles Soule (Writer), Ron Garmey (Artist), Goran Sudzuka (Artist), Matt Milla (Collorist), VC's Clayton Cowles (Letterer), and Joe Caramagna (Letterer)


In the previous comic, an evil villain named Tenfingers because he has ten fingers on each hand has started a church up in Chinatown promising much but demanding all the cash and stuff that his parishioners have to offer.  Daredevil has taken on an apprentice named Blindspot, a young Chinese illegal immigrant man who has adapted a suit that makes him invisible but runs on batteries and can go out when the batteries run out.  Matt Murdoch has wiped everyone's minds off his identity except Foggy's who resents it and Matt is now working in the D.A.'s office.

Matt's case against Tenfingers hinges on the testimony of Billy Li who is thrown in the river with Daredevil following to save him and then take care of the men who did it. He notices that these men fight differently like they have special powers.  Blindspot comes in and helps him just in time.  While Matt promises to protect Billy Li, on the day of the Grand Jury, Tenfingers men get to him and cut off his fingers convincing him to not testify which puts Matt in trouble with his boss who puts him on Night Court duty, which is the bottom of the ladder and will put a crimp in his nighttime activities.

Meanwhile, The Hand has arrived to take back what Tenfingers has taken from them as he was once a member of them but left to start his church.  The Hand doesn't take kindly to them that steal from them and they attack his followers killing some before leaving for the time being.  But they will be back with something worse than imaginable to finish off Tenfingers and his congregation.  Blindspot is doing his best to protect the parishioners but its an uphill battle and Daredevil is trying to help him but he doesn't know everything as Blindspot is keeping secrets.

This is a really cool comic that has a surprise visit from Captain America who is older and can't really fight but keeps up with what's going on in his neighborhood and seeks out those who can help to clean out the bad guys and he and Daredevil go out on a mission together.  Blindspot is an interesting and complex character that works well with Daredevil.  This was a great book and I give it five out of five stars.
