Daredevil, Volume 4 Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, Michael Allred |
Some time had elapsed between the readings of Volumes 3 and
4, but I had enough of a recollection of the previous volume to understand the
happenings of this volume. To be frank,
it is often difficult to follow up an adventure involving Dr. Doom and the
Avengers with a story involving a “C-List” villain (as described by Daredevil)
and the falling out of his friendship with longtime friend and partner, Foggy
Nelson. Perhaps, this is a critical
turning point for a major change in the Daredevil story, but it didn’t quite
strike me as being as important as it may or may not be.
In truth, I did manage to learn a few more things about a
character that, for the most part, I knew little about aside from his guest appearances
in the Spider-man animated series of the 90s and the terrible feature-length
film starring Ben Affleck. And that
right there was enough for this volume to garner an additional star in my
rating of the book. Hopefully, the book
picks up the pace in the next couple of volumes because I have enjoyed most of
this run by Mark Waid.
