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.
In this comic, Electra has come back and while Daredevil had hoped to introduce Blindspot and her, he senses someone off in her and tries to warn him off of her but Electra is attacking him and Blindspot is quick to defend him and he gets hurt. So Daredevil sends him to the special clinic to get fixed while he tries to figure out what's going on with Electra. It turns out that she had a child born eleven years ago that could conceivably be his. This daughter has been taken and she has video proof on a cell phone that he can't see. Who took Electra's daughter and is it Matt's daughter as well? This one was heartbreaking and cruel and very well done.
In the next comic Matt goes to Macau and believes it or not gambles at Texas Hold "Em. It's the only game he can play. He reads the players he can to determine what they have and just goes "all in" when he feels he has a good hand or a good bluff. But he really needs to win this tournament because he has something planned and he does indeed win it and Spider-Man meets him in his comped room. Spider-Man is going to help Daredevil get a briefcase on a floor only accessible to certain people like the winners of the tournament. They miss getting the briefcase and it flies away in a helicopter but Spider-Man has ideas on how to get it back. I really liked this one because Spider-Man is a favorite of mine and his motor mouth and antics are just hilarious.
Another comic involves Echo who comes to Daredevil for help when an evil villain is taking over the city through sound turning people into zombies. Another comic is about a psychopath named Gladiator who is after Daredevil. This volume is chock full of stories that are just amazing to read. I really love this new Daredevil series that Charles Soule is writing. I also loved the colors used in the gambling sequence. It was real 60s or 70s neon flair which reminds you of Ocean's Eleven, the original. This was one amazing comic and I give it five out of five stars.
