Absolutely awesome read. Fantastic exploration and summation of Matt Murdock's world following his death, with nearly every important character brought to the fold. The plot of a reporter seeking the meaning of his final word is directly inspired by Citizen Kane, and is highly effective at providing an everyday man's view on the dark, gritty side of New York City and the Daredevil whilst actually fleshing out Ben Urich in his pursuit of the truth. The art is absolutely gorgeous, not in its colour or even drawings but in the composition and layout of each panel and page, lending weight to some gob-smacking page-turns. And the tight story actually works, makes sense and provides great resolutions and setups of the future. Makes me excited to read Bendis's earlier Daredevil works.
