DAREDEVIL #103Written by Ed Brubaker
Art by Michael Lark
The Without Fear story Brubaker has been building seems to have stalled out after the solid opening chapters. The required six issue trade format might be a factor in these last two issues rather sluggish pace.
We, basically, see a lot of exposition and 'Daredevil patrolling' scenes. Milla is still sick and shows no signs of recovery. Matt tracks down the Ox after a long sequence showing him beating on some thugs and, later, the villains' version of the Night Nurse. This set up what I consider the best part of this issue - DD's capturing of Ox. He runs down the fleeing Ox with a taxi cab and then chains him up in an abandonned factory. Forgoing the typical interrogation methods, the issue ends with Matt lighting up the welding torch in one of my favourite moments from this week.
However, one excellent scene doesn't make up for an otherwise decompressed and boring issue and keeps this issue from being a Must Read for me.
Verdict - Check It.
