Ed Brubaker handles the inner monologue like no other writer in comics. His thought boxes are the benchmark. And in this in-between issue of Daredevil, he uses the inner monologues of Matt Murdock's closest friends to really expand on the Daredevil tragedy and how it affects everyone it touches. This isn't just Matt's journey. This is Foggy's story too. And Ben Urich's.
Daredevil is truly the Batman of the Marvel universe, and these long suffering characters are his Alfred and Jim Gordon. Some of the power of these stories--the tragedies of Bruce Wayne and Matt Murdock--is in the ensemble. The heroes are loners, dark knights. But they have strong support groups who are often neglected and tasked with picking up the pieces.
The most effective scene to this end is Ben and Foggy's meeting at a diner. They've had this talk many times before and it probably won't be the last. This issue reminds us that Matt isn't alone in this fall, and there is more at stake than simply his own sanity.
I hope Matt can catch a break some day. Not just for his sake, but for Ben and Foggy too.

I thought the scene where he couldn’t see Mya was really heartbreaking. All I could think was how bad it was that he couldn’t even be with the one he loved. My guess whatever Fear hit him with agitates her stuff, which is why she keeps regressing. It’s like he never can see or touch her again.
I liked this issue, but was not a fan of the art. It was so in places, but Matt’s stuble looked like acne and the hair on everyone was really messed up.
You’re right though, pol, this issue was pretty fun in looking at the tragedy with a different perspective.
There was an odd, modeled look about the art. It almost looked like woodcut prints, especially in the faces and hair. Foggy in particular looked like a ventriloquist’s dummy.
@ pol- Ha! A ventriliquist’s dummy. That’s wonderful. I think you described it perfectly though. It does look like woodcut prints…just not Rembrandt type woodcut prints. I think someone mentioned on the forum that this was the same guy drawing BRPD: 1942. His style seems kind of weird for a superhero book.
