I liked this issue, but I'm not sure how I should take it as the ending to the Mr Fear story. After seeing Fear's training regimen and all the build up, I assumed DD would get gassed, we'd have a brawl and Matt would eventually fight out of it and win. Standard super fight. Well, this one ends up with Daredevil beating the piss out of Mr Fear, realizing Fear isn't afraid of anything anymore, not even dying or being beaten by Matt or prison and that's it. I thing Fear landed one kick and that was his entire offense.
Fear even agrees to testify willingly that he was responsible for Daredevil's wife's condition and several other murders. I guess his only purpose was to put fear into Matt and he was happy with that, as he revealed there was no cure for her psychosis since he killed the chemist that made it. The closing scenes with Matt putting her in a home and the realization that just by knowing him, her life was ruined was pretty powerful stuff, but sad at the same time.
In the end, though, I'm not sure what Mr Fear was out to accomplish. Why go get your ass kicked by Murdock and go to jail? The little tidbit about how his fear powers don't require the gas anymore and are like pheromones was nice and he now runs the prison, but still, why not team up with Hood, kill / humiliate Matt and call it a day? Good issue, but a different, not sure if I'd call it great or bad, ending to this storyline.
