Well another month, another great issue from Waid, Samnee, and Co. I'm intrigued by who this villain might be; it could be an old foe returning to exact revenge, or a completely new player looking to take Matt down. I love how Waid is tying together most of the last year or so into one man's plan to take out DD. The story has read like three of four different arcs, but now the curtain is being lifted and we find out we've been reading one long masterplan. It has been a wonderful execution in storytelling, by one of the masters. There were some great moments that stuck out to me this issue. For instance when Foggy can tell Matt is growing anxious at the hospital, because he wants to be out stopping crime, Foggy tells him to "go fight Electro or something", and Matt admits after some thought that he'd rather do that than go talk to Kirsten McDuffie. There's the scene at the rock gym, when he decides to suck it up and deal with the Kirsten issue, and Matt doesn't even attempt to hide his abilities, it was a fantastic way to show him say, "So yeah, I'm Daredevil, where do we go from here?" All these little moments (Look, it's red Batman!) keep the story feeling upbeat and fun despite all the cancer and crime-fighting going on. I know there are some folks out there not as smitten as I when it comes to Samnee's artwork, but seriously this guy can draw any book he wants as far as I'm concerned. The pages where Matt is talking to Hank Pym, and Pym is going around his lab changing sizes to complete different tasks are awesome. You almost don't notice it until you see him standing next to a 6 ft. tall iPhone, and stop for a second. Samnee's just as adept at drawing DD swinging around the city as he is at showing scenes in the office or hospital. Even with his deceptively simple lines, and clean style all the characters look different, and have facial expressions. This is something the hyper-detailed artists of today often struggle to pull off, and Chris Samnee does it month after month, with fewer lines, and no delays. It's fair to say Daredevil is one of my favorite books on the stands, maybe my number one, but that is precisely because of issues like this one. The balance of superheroics and personal stories is pretty amazing, and Waid pulls it off with ease. Going from heartfelt moments about friendship, right into fights with boxes full of mutant dogs, and it totally works. I can't think of anything negative to say, maybe I'm biased, but that is the truth. As usual I can't wait till next issue, especially now so we can find out who's behind all this crazy. Thanks for reading my review.
