One-sentence summary: A fairly unnecessary mini-series, this issue doesn't deliver anything unexpected.
I don't really get the point of this series. They're giving us background on Daredevil's dad, which is nice, but I have no idea why it's four issues long. This very well could've been a one-shot, as far as I'm concerned, and just been paced more tightly. As it is, we have a pretty basic story -- old fighter gets back into ring only to learn that mob is fixing the fights so that he can take a big-time fall, thus disappointing his family and friends -- that's been stretched to ridiculous lengths. The art's gritty and bloody and begins to wear on you after an issue or two.
This isn't a bad idea for an issue, but it's a bad idea for a mini-series. Also, I have to question its timing -- is there any reason to push out a poorly conceived Daredevil mini-series right now? I think this book is just missing it in every way.
