I liked the descent into paranoia and madness.

But there’s a part of him, the true part, that will fight. Everything falls apart and he’s driven to breaking point.
His bank accounts are frozen, his girlfriend leaves him, his law firm gets closed down. Piece by piece things are taken away from him and he has no idea why. The world is a dark place and Matt Murdock is facing the greatest struggle of his life. Still, I’ve always enjoyed the concept and he’s always had a bit more grittiness and a bit more tragedy about him than other Marvel characters, although this wasn’t evident in the early issues when he was basically a Spider-Man clone filled with wisecracks. I quite like Daredevil and I think he’s one of the underrated superheroes, although I kinda understand why he hasn’t really struck a chord with people since a lot of what he does is covered by other characters. But what Kingpin doesn’t realize is that a man without hope is a man without fear. The information makes its way back to Kingpin, who then works methodically to take away everything that Murdock holds dear in order to destroy the only good man Kingpin has ever known. In this highly-regarded graphic novel Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli present a dark tale of how Matt Murdock’s junkie ex-girlfriend Karen Page sells Daredevil’s secret identity for a fix.
