Reviews (Part 3)

Daredevil has been an intriging read during the chaotic times at Marvel with Civil War and World War Hulk. The man without fear has seemingly been above both fray's, considering he was in France during the War and apparently Hell's Kitchen is not apart of New York City as the Hulk made his pissed off return. Or maybe the Hulk isn't as tough as we all think he is and pissed his pants at the thought of taking the Kitchen, even with his Warbound and his unlimited strength. That's probably not true but never the less as every other Marvel character has been thrown into wars with tie-in's and spin-offs, and blah blah blah Daredevil has been taking care of business in the Kitchen.

This issue has the blind one ruthlessly searching for Mr. Fear for poisoning his wife and once again Ed Brubaker has constructed an emotional and gritty story as Daredevil goes off the deep end with a rage this side of the Hulk. He tortures and then beats the holy hell out of a member of the Enforcers, chokes a woman, and kicks a baby!!! He didn't kick a baby but you see where I'm going with this, Daredevil will do whatever he has to do to find Mr. Fear. The artwork throughout this story has been done very well, giving off that noiresque and violent feel that's been tradition since Frank Miller's revamp of the character.

Overall this story is a good, but the problem is that this arc should have ended an issue ago. This issue becomes the fifth part in a six story arc and to make me wonder more, Brubaker brings in the Hood to feud with Mr. Fear. Daredevil has been coming close to finding Mr. Fear for two issues now and then you insert the Hood. WTF!!! To be fair the Hood has been in the story since the fourth arc, and between Daredevil's vendetta against Mr. Fear, and Mr. Fear's need to peddle his new drug, I don't know where the Hood comes into play and that's my gripe. But getting past the Hood issue and its length, this was still a good read, that I'm sure will have an interesting ending.
