    On The Devil's Back

    This series has remained constant in quality. This issue has a nice mix of intrigue, action, humor, and drama.

    After learning of Foggy's possible cancer, Matt cheers up his friend, by taking him on a Daredevil tour of the city. Naturally villainy breaks out, and Matt has to go stop it.

    Someone is trying to recreate Daredevil, but with prisoners. Getting the same chemicals into their eyes that Matt got when he was a kid. This heightens their senses to the point to driving them mad. We don't know who is behind this, but things are going to heat up.

    I won't spoil what happens at the end of the issue, but...man.

    The artwork in this book looks fantastic, and works with the tone this book is portraying. I'm glad it's not a super dark brooding Daredevil this time. If it was, I probably wouldn't be reading the book, and two we have that in a dozen of other books.

    It was cool seeing Daredevil steal a cops gun, only to lightly tap one of the insane prisoners in the head with it. Their senses are so overloaded any little bit of pain is excruciating to them.

    Mark Waid is doing a great job on this book and in writing Hulk. I kind of would like to see him lend a hand to Spider-man. Maybe one day.

      This isn't the most amazing Daredevil cover, but that's a ridiculously hard competition.

Daredevil recaps his origin story, seeing things from his perspective, but after ...

      In many ways, Daredevil #23 is an excellent jumping on point for new readers. The beginning of the issue delves into Matt's history of how he became blind and Waid's script for this issue shines; allowing the reader to discover why Matt's origin is super important to the current storyline. This issue is filled with tons of tension as we wait to hear news of what is going on with Foggy. Since I've been reading DD back in the 90's when I was a kid I'm not going to reveal what happens in this issue...
