DAREDEVIL #102Written by Ed Brubaker

I loved the surprise introduction of the Hood to this storyline at the end of last issue, but this month he's no where to be seen. I figured there'd be some follow up to his appearance, but, outside Wrecker saying Hood sent him, it's as if he didn't even show up last issue.
Despite my complaint at the lack of any real follow up to the Hood from last issue, I did enjoy this month's offering. Mr Fear is setting Matt up for a fall and has even arranged for his wife to be released from jail under special supervision. Brubaker also does an excellent job of building up Fear as a credible physical threat with some aid from his chemicals.
The Enforcers and Wrecker's appearance in this issue seemed a little out of place. It's almost like Brubaker wanted a fight scene for the sake of having one this issue. Nothing was really accomplished from the fight, none of the villains were captured and it didn't move the story forward. It was an entertaining fight, but, in the grand scheme of things, accomplished very little.
Verdict - Check It. Aside from a few plot points, not much really happens here. You could probably skip this issue and pick up the next one and not miss a beat in this storyline.
