Matt Murdock is not the perfect vigilante. His punches are an incredible weight on his shoulders: Daredevil, a guilt that both suffocates and empowers him.
Miller’s take on the story is compelling. Matt’s emotions are tense, he feels real, but the world before him is less so. His relationship with the people around him is often detached. Matt carries himself like an “other” — a man engulfed by sin, fundamentally different than everyone around him.
The story is characterized by corruption. Daredevil is a wound fighting against a wound; Matt against the Kingpin.
The perfect set-up for future storylines.

It was wonderful, very different to what I usually read, though, so it was a bit hard for me to really get into it. However, I loved it. It was fun, fast, and interesting. Would I have enjoyed it as much if I wasn't going through a Matt Murdock/Daredevil hiper fixation right now? Probably not.
Frank Miller's writing is chef's kiss, though.
