That's a good way to describe all of his Daredevil work.

I still liked it. But it's not my favorite Daredevil story.

He was so unintentionally hilarious on his debut.

The thing is that like many other characters that changed tone as they evolved, that dark tone is the one most closely associated with Matt, his life is hell, his enemies are monsters, he suffers more than his peers, but he reamins a good person.

I liked the darker tone of the story overall when seen as its own story. It fit the context and was well rounded. Obviously it clashes with other portrayals of Daredevil who showcased his earlier years more as a swashbuckler like you mentioned.

Most DD stories are like the show and that comic in tone, though not necessarily in graphic violence.
