Daredevil & Elektra By Chip Zdarsky Vol. 2: The Red Fist Saga Part Two

Zdarsky keeps going with his amazing run

Daredevil's group of escaped supervillians and wayward ninjas take on bigger opponents before it comes crashing down.A solid climax

One of the major story arcs of this collection relies on information from a run of the Punisher. Why those issues weren't collected here, considering at least one confrontation is essential to the story, is baffling. Much like last collection, the story is rushing through plot points. The big confrontation we were geared for happens in the middle of this collection. It's hard to follow and there's a lot of "prophecy" and "trickery" at work. In the end, it feels deflated. It feels like we're on fast forward a lot of the time, like Chip was only given 12 issues to wrap this up and they granted him 3 issues because it made even less sense. The fill in art gets worse this time out. The Avengers cameo here really makes the Avengers irredeemable. No one seems interested in talking to other characters. There are some really big last minute revelations that are depicted poorly and seem unclear. Worst of all, there are some odd continuity issues between the chapters. Bullet is said to be killed and zombified but then he's a-okay to leave next issue. It's just very sloppy. The less said about Goldy the better. I think Zdarsky bit off more than he could chew with the God/prophecy stuff and the resolution seems geared to be pretty poor.

Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

This is a very enjoyable read. The pace escalates quickly and there are plenty of surprises. The scale is big and that makes it better. Very exciting. It also still has character development too. Not sure about the portrayal of castle but I haven't read that series. This is Well worth the read.

A good book. These books have taken a slightly different direction than I was expecting. The "prophecies and Gods plan" themes are a bit more than I think the story needed.Daredevil and Elektra have rebuilt the order of the Fist, but like always, they do not seem to be on the same page of what it is they are trying to accomplish. Elektra's motivations are simple to destroy the Hand. Daredevil wants more of a society that rehabilitates more than punishes. However, to make this happen, they are going to need soldiers and breakers a number of laws.The Fist has made more enemies than friends. Forget about winning. Can they even survive the attacks on all the fronts, including infighting among the soldiers. Not everything is set up for the conclusion. Personally, I would like to see more of Elektra. I especially would like to see Elektra unleashed not playing by Matt's rules and code. The book finishes with a varient cover gallery.
