Matt and Elektra stop fighting long enough for Matt to learn just why Elektra wants to kill him. Elektra believes her daughter, that Matt had, up until this point known nothing about, has been kidnapped, and believes his is somehow involved. Matt gets to the bottom of what has happened, and while he clears things up with Elektra, it seems someone is gunning for him yet again.
While I had known this story arc would be a brief one, it basically opened up more questions for me than it answered. Matt pays Foggy Nelson a visit this time and clarifies that in this new, post-Secret Wars world, it is truly only Foggy who knows Matt's secret, with Elektra, who has known Matt since before he actually became Daredevil, being similarly blindsided. I am still no closer to knowing the mysterious process through which this happened, though. In that, the issue was a tad frustrating, especially since it just repeated what had already been stated previously: only Foggy knows Matt's secret.
Surprisingly little happens in this issue, especially given how the last issue was able to pack quite a bit of exposition and set-up into twenty pages. Anyway, Soule's script is decent and Bufagni's artwork is consistent with the standard he set last issue, but really, given the disclosures I was hoping to read here, this issue was an almost inevitable disappointment.
6.7/10
