Soule could be doing it for interesting artistic reasons, or he could be doing it because of personal bias. I have no idea.

I just know that we live in a nation where the criminal justice system is hugely stacked against the accused, where people die in jail awaiting trial for misdemeanors because they can't meet bail, where shows like Law & Order lionize prosecutors and law enforcement - even glorifying brutality.

It's so rare to get good-guy defenders in fiction. Instead you get slimeballs like Saul Goodman. And now they're taking one of those good guy defenders away from us. And I don't like it. I'm willing to give it a chance. I'm willing to be won over. But I think Matt Murdock as a defense attorney was important and I don't like that we're losing that.

the above comment is exactly why i am concerned about this. i'm totally willing to read the new book by soule, i think something interesting could be done if matt uses his daredevilling to help people who are innocent, but i REALLY question the timing of this considering the criminal justice system + how suspects are treated is a hot button issue right now, and matt was LITERALLY anti-police brutality in past stories (in volume three he literally takes on a unit of racist cops who are determined to murder the person he was defending along with others).

i just don't know if taking a character who symbolized justice for the unheard and making him work for that same system that harmed people he's defended in the past is A Good Idea.
