Matthew colors the art perfectly so you can feel lost in the world. Rafael draws the scenes perfectly with his massively brutal action sequences and challenges himself by making the intimate moments just as exciting without losing the emotional connection. Rafael de Latorre and Matthew Wilson craft quite the world in this issue as we are deep in the mountains of mysticism. In Daredevil #4, the art department continues to hold to its high standard. Matt is looking to set up an army, and he has quite the cast to help him do that. Luke Cage was one of the stars of this issue and proves that when you pick up the Daredevil series, you get more than just the Man Without Fear. All this is wrapped up in beautiful art by current and past creators, such as Ann Nocenti, Scott Hanna, Klaus Janson, Chris Samnee, John Romita Jr., Alex Maleev, Paul Azaceta, Chris Giarruso, Mike Hawthorne, and Phil Noto.ĭaredevil #3 contains significant character interactions that create a potential crossover with the Hand. This new villain is a formidable adversary who hits Matt right in the religion. You’ll discover new layers to Matt’s life and gain a unique insight into why they happened. Daredevil #2 (LGY #650) is an excellent issue worth the celebration, and I think that ending will give many fans something to talk about.
