DAREDEVIL #22
by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee
Daredevil meets the Suckperior Spider-Man!
Before I start the review let me just say: I still hate the Superior Spider-Man. Now, the meat of this issue involves Daredevil meeting the Superior Spider-Man, and it feels rather useless. However, Superior Spidey is handled better here than Slott did in Spidey #700. Waid does make the banter between Spidey and Daredevil entertaining, but it's not enough to carry the entire issue. Thankfully, the ending of the issue features a massive twist that will definitely make long-time Daredevil fans (like me) tear up. Seriously, I'm intrigued to see where the series goes from here!
Chris Samnee pulls out all the stops for this issue. He really brings out his inner Darwyn Cooke influence, as he hammers it up with a light style. The book briefly changes ink style, but it wasn't distracting enough to take my attention away from the story.
Daredevil #22 could have been one of the series best issues, if not for Not-so Superior Spider-Man. Thankfully, everything else about the book is pretty awesome.
NOTE: To long-time Daredevil fans trying to cope with the ending, here, some advice.
STORY: 3.5/5
ART: 4.5/5
VERDICT: 4/5
