I have to preface this review by saying that Daredevil is on my Mount Rushmore of comic characters. He’s my guy. By day I’m an attorney and a person of faith, so I’m really into Matt Murdock’s worldview and how he wrestles with the balance of law, God, and justice.

It’s not a world I’m familiar with, so I soon found my (admittedly limited) knowledge of the Justice League swamped after cursory characters from movies and TV shows I’d seen. It’s not a bad thing, per se, but I still consider […]
