The aftermath of Shadowland, while certainly just as predictable as the event itself, has certainly been more fun to read; the progression of the Daredevil book into the new Black Panther series has been interesting, and this one-shot appears as a capper to the thing – one last epilogue. Antony Johnston has been one of my favourite under-the-radar creators since his work on Queen and Country with Greg Rucka – here he gives life and emotion to the entire Daredevil supporting cast and wraps up Andy Diggle’s tale neatly, while leaving the door open for the new status quo. The art by Robertyo De La Torre and Marco Checchetto evokes Michael Lark throughout and manages to carry on the style and image of Daredevil from the last few years. There’s only one problem with this, though; it’s almost identical to Daredevil #512, which was also an epilogue to Shadowland. This isn’t as a problem as that was the best issue of the event, but this does seem rehashed and plodding because of it. To someone who has only been reading the mini-series, though, this would be the perfect capper to Marvel’s turkey of the year.
