The Rundown: Matt takes on the final two devils and both encounters could cost him a friend.
Matt returns to the courtroom to defend himself and St Nicholas against his best friend Foggy who is being possessed by the sin of pride. A sin that will use Matt’s love of the law to both attack everything he loves and charm everyone around him. A sin that will finally release Foggy when Matt admits something to his old friend that he normally wouldn’t.
In the aftermath, Daredevil learns where Cole is being held and races to help him only to find Wrath waiting for him. Unable to temper his own, Daredevil is overwhelmed and when he awakens, he is confronted by the demon, the child he’s possessed and a deadly personal choice.
The Story: Ahmed crafts a thrilling and often entertaining story in this issue. Unfortunately, it was a little too predictable both in Matt’s encounter with Foggy and the resolution of the Pride confrontation. The Wrath confrontation was more compelling, but it ended too soon for me and lost much of its emotional weight. I did enjoy the end of the issue and look forward to seeing what happens next.
The Art: Kuder crafts some visually thrilling and engaging art in the issue. I liked the action a lot and the character designs are great, especially the devil designs.
