amazing

this story was like nothing that i have ever experienced. it presented a very dark and supernatural atmosphere, which had me completely hooked.

Another excellent entry in Bendis' prolific run

Brian Michael Bendis' prolific run on Daredevil begins it's final phase with Decalogue, as the series takes a different turn as Bendis reveals just what happened during Matt Murdock/Daredevil's reign as the Kingpin, and the effect it had on those living in Hell's Kitchen. Decalogue begins with a gathering of people, all of whom had been effected in one way or another since Daredevil declared himself the Kingpin. Ranging from petty shots at crime to something unbelievably horriffic, these people all have a reason to point a finger at the blind superhero, one of which knows more than he lets on, and knows quite a bit about Daredevil's history. What makes Decalogue so different from Bendis' previous arcs is that DD isn't the main character of the storyarc. Instead, he has become a recurring guest star or an urban legend as he is seen through the eyes of those telling their stories. It's a welcome change of pace for a mainstream superhero comic, and it's some of Bendis' best work since before he became Marvel's "it" writer. Alex Maleev once again supplies his usual great and moody art, and it's easy to see why he has been a fan favorite artist on the title for the past few years. All this sets the stage for the final storyarc from Bendis and Maleev, as things once again take a different turn for Daredevil and all those associated with him, and it also sets the stage for a bold new direction for the much maligned character.
