If this is what Waid was writing all along, Daredevil would still be on my buy list (rather than my read-from-the-library list). First of all, he's suddenly returned to the darker, more serious plots of Bendis & Brubaker, even remembering some of their supporting cast (namely: Milla). Second, he's apparently totally done away with the ridiculous omega drive plot that dragged down the comic's first three volumes. Third, he's created characters and weirdness of his own. The result deserves to sit right by those earlier volumes and if it continues I'm going to have to go back some day to purchase my own copies of his run ...
