DAREDEVIL VS. MEGACRIME!
One of the
greatest titles at Marvel continues as Daredevil faces off against the five Megacrime
organizations. The fight is for the Omega Drive – a hard drive made from the unstable
molecules of a Fantastic Four uniform that holds all of the data of the
syndicates. It’s a battle in Time’s Square that can’t be ignored as they
descend on the man without fear with extreme prejudice. But just like every
issue of this new series, things might be a little more complicated than they
look.
Mark Waid’s
writing is top notch in this issue, and this end to the omega drive arc was an
interesting story. No one would have expected Daredevil to become the target of
groups like HYDRA or A.I.M., but he became their number one public enemy
overnight. The way that it’s orchestrated and finally taken care of is what quickly
will become the new standard for Daredevil
comics.
Khoi Pham
covers all of the excitement on the pages of this month’s issue with his
artwork. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I have past artists on the title, but it
did fit the tone and feeling of the story. There was a great reveal moment at
the end that was depicted well, and he knew how to move Matt Murdock in a
combat setting.
The thing
that I’ve found really weird about this title is the staggering number of
people who won’t give it a try. I guess there are people who think that Daredevil
is boring because he’s blind or not as big of a player in the Marvel Universe.
As someone who has been following this new run from the start, I can promise
all of you that doubt this book that it’s worth the time.
