Got this because I was very much impressed by Bendis' work on Alias, and this seemed a good place to continue following his œuvre. In retrospect I'm not sure if it was such a good choice - it's part of the ongoing saga of the Daredevil, one of the many Marvel superheroes of whom I know pretty much nothing, so I was left a bit uncertain as to how much continuity the reader should be assumed to have absorbed. Taken on that basis, it's good but not blow-me-away excellent; the story is essentially about a child who has unwillingly become a witness to the dark underside of the world of superheroes, and the journalist who is trying to establish the truth. I was rather more impressed by David Mack's art, which uses pictures to tell bits of narrative in a way that text (or text bubbles) never could. ( )
