Scott's Take: Daredevil and Elektra Vol 1: The Red Fist Saga by Chip Zdarsky

Daredevil and Elektra Vol 1: The Red Fist Saga by Chip Zdarsky is the second in this Daredevil series. In this book, Daredevil has agreed to co-lead with Electra the group known as “The Fist” in the battle against “The Hand.” This means its ninjas vs ninjas in a war for the world. The new leader of The Hand is the Punisher. That tale is being told in the Punisher series by Jason Aaron and is also quite good. In this book, Daredevil and Elektra Vol 1: The Red Fist Saga, Daredevil is preparing to leave New York so he can take the fight to The Hand but a new villain has some revelations for him first.

Daredevil spends a good portion of this first volume recruiting for his new version of The Fist. There are also some pretty cool action sequences which I can’t get into without spoilers. The art is really good. I also highly enjoyed how Daredevil and Spider-man, who is a guest star, are written and depicted.

I am highly looking forward to Daredevil and Elektra Vol 2: The Red Fist Saga Part 2. I also recommend reading the aforementioned Punisher series so you have the other half of the story. Each series is connected, but could be read on their own, but I think you should read both.
