Daredevil #29 Review

DAREDEVIL #29

by Mark Waid and Javier Rodriguez

Daredevil vs KKK. No, seriously.

So, this is one of the funnest issues of Daredevil thus far. It's not the best, but it's the most entertaining. As per the usual, Waid's witty characterization take center stage, along with a fun chase to find a bomb, and trying to find the corrupt jerks in the law system. There were some inconsistencies in the story, such as the characterization of Marvin, and introducing a character who plays a major role in the series in the last 10 pages or so. However, Waid makes up for it, with a very intriguing cliffhanger.

Javier Rodriguez makes for a great replacement for Chris Samnee. He comes up with a couple of very interesting JH Williams-esque layouts and effects, and very kinetic. It has a very old school look, and I love this old style of art.

Daredevil #29 is sort of like the recent Clayface arc in Batman. It's definitely not the best work from a very gifted created team, but it's still entertaining nonetheless.
