Daredevil, comic book.

This was a comic book. About a superhero named Daredevil. It was very confusing and I apologize if my plot summary doesn't make sense.

It was made of 3 parts, one was something about nazis which I tried to read but I could not follow the plot, the second one is the one I will put in the plot summary, and the third one was extremely confusing like the first one but worse. (Small note: Daredevil does not have any superpowers. He is blind but has his other senses enhanced to a point where its crazy)

It starts off with Daredevil being constantly followed by the press because now they know who he really is. But in the past he had been somehow viewed as a criminal, which even with extensive hours of research, I still don't get.  Then later on, Daredevil escapes and Melvin apologizes. Then an FBI agent comes up to him, she says that she has to make a case against him. But she doesn't want to. She just wants to know why he dresses up and beats people up. Then she says that she came to ask him what to do, because she had been given an amulet which gave a previous hero his powers. And she wants to know what to do. He asks her to meet her the next day on top of a roof. When she meets him the have a mock fight, and after the mock fight, he says that that is what she should do with her powers, fight. While he is going home, one of his other "super"friends named Melvin meets him. Daredevil asks him what he was doing there, and Melvin (previously a villain I think) said "You should have killed me when you could. I'm sorry."or something like that, and then knocks him out. A crime boss is now going to kill Daredevil, but the FBI agent jumps down and saves him and drags Melvin along. Then as DD helps the FBI agent to prevent a store robbery, he tells her why he wears the costume and delivers some thematic advice.

What I liked, is that it was very thematic. And surprisingly so, which made it worth reading. What I didn't like, is how I couldn't understand most of the book. Although, when I paid close attention, the seemingly different story lines were actually one big one.
