> It was a good cliffhanger. Unfortunately there seems to be a trend in stories regarding DD where villains are always trying to make both his heroic and civilian life hell. It started with Miller's "Fall from Grace" and it doesn't seem to stop. Fisk has gone after him a couple of times since, as has Typhoid Mary, Mysterio (?!) and now Mister Fear. I'd liked to see him go up against a villain who doesn't know he's Matt Murdock.

Unfortunately, unless Matt makes a deal with Mephisto, there is no way for the villains to not know who he is anymore. He's been cleared legally, but it's pretty obvious that a lot of people, from crooks to cops, still believe he's Daredevil. A magical retcon like Spider-Man just got would not work in the grim and gritty, street-based world of Daredevil.
