    Default Daredevil #12 *Spoilers*

    Daredevil #12 by Waid and Samnee (and a dynamite cover by Rivera), out today . . .

    Preview here.

    Matt goes on a date with ADA McDuffie, with Spider-Man tagging along unseen in case one of Matt's megacrime foes turns up. Kirsten asks about Matt's friendship with Foggy, and Matt tells her a story from their college days, in which Matt and Foggy took on a corrupt faculty member. Their date is interrupted by a member of Black Spectre, who threatens Matt's friends and family before vanishing.

    It's another great issue. Samnee ably steps into the mix on the art side, and Waid puts together a clever little story showing off Matt's (and Foggy's) legal acumen. There's a nod towards the bigger Omega Drive story arc, but it's basically a fun done-in-one.

    Very good. One of the best issues yet even.

    My guess is we find out next issue. But the cliffhanger was on something happened to Spidey, so it's not like we can find out this issue.
    The Punisher: I’m going to cauterize your rectum, sealing it shut, so when you turn those delicious Pink Pants™ Fruit Pies into waste products the bilirubin in your feces will leach into your bloodstream and you’ll die screaming! And I’ll watch while having sex with this grateful prostitute!

    Trussed-Up Hooker: Blueberry are my favorite!

    In other words, what StoneGold said.

    This was a really sweet-natured, funny issue with terrific art. Loved it. Best I've read of this series so far.

    Exactly this. Samnee is an amazing fit for this book. Waid has been delivering some really varied stories and I really loved cuteness of this issue. An entire issue about Matt Murdock with no DD action and yet probably one of the best in the series so far. I hope Waid is longterm on this book. Also the colors are FANTASTIC.

    Definitely good stuff. This series remains one of the most enjoyable out there. Weid does a good job with these one-offs and I've always liked the art here.

    This issue showcased Matt's heroism in a big way, without a single superhero fight. Not that I'd want that to happen every issue, mind you, but it works really well here. He's a hero because he fights for the little guy no matter what the consequences.

    I guess we'll see next issue. Though they just said he'd been distracted. They probably staged a crime he had to respond to.

    This is one of the best comic book series going period. I've loved the entire run so far, but this issue was a great example of why Matt is a hero even when out of costume.

    And yes, the lady's attempts to test his blindness were hilarious.

    My god I am loving this series, and issue #12 was just brilliantly delivered.

    Honestly I seldom take the time to look at who wrote the comics that I read. In this case I just had to know. Mark Waid, a person I hadn't previously heard of. Is he writing anything else at the moment? Any good TPB's I should pick up from him?
