What a stroke of luck! My library had 2 more
volumes of the fantastic Mark Waid and Chris Samnee run of Daredevil! That’s
awesome. Add to that the fact that one of my all-time favorite artists, Michael
Allred does an issue as an added bonus! SCORE!
In this volume, Daredevil may be going
insane. But is it all because of the guilt and trauma he’s racked up over the
years fighting the Kingpin, Bullseye, and having just about everyone he loves
die tragically in front of him? Or is it because he’s accidentally switched
brains with Hank (Antman) Pym? Waid will keep you guessing in this multi-issue
mystery fraught with chills and thrills. Just who did put Matt’s father’s
remains in his desk while he was fighting Doctor Doom in Latveria?
While
the mystery part of the story was fantastic and I loved every minute of it. I
wasn’t so happy with this volume’s conclusion. Keep in mind, that I’ve already
read the last 2 volumes in the series prior to getting my hands of a couple of
the middle meaty parts of this Daredevil sandwich. So, when I say that the
storyline involving the antagonist is never revealed. I’m not talking about in
this volume. I do realize as I type this that I still have volume 5 to read, so
maybe that will come to pass. Regardless, there was something missing to the
dynamic formula of Waid + Samnee = Genius. I’m not sure if it was the humor
that was off or that there just wasn’t enough of Matt Murdock as a defense
attorney in this volume or what. But there was something that was the other
volumes before and after that I read that was missing from volume 4.
