Daredevil #7 Review.

 

The best super hero title on the stands today.

Daredevil, as Matt Murdock, is taking a group of blind school children on a trip.  A snow storm hits, which is a lot like what we’ve been going through in upstate New York, and disaster ensues.  The bus crashes, the driver dies, DD and the kids are stranded in the wilderness and this is going to take everything Hornhead has to survive.

Marvel tried to throw that “Heroic Age” banner on everything a short time ago but not until now is that phrase mattering.  Books like this, with no bad guys, no costumes, no delusional villains bent on world domination.  Just a man trying to protect the innocent against nature.  When Daredevil’s body fails his words carry on, inspiring these kids.  He is a hero in every sense of the word.

This isn’t about the Kingpin or the upcoming crossover or anything else.  This is a story that could be about your neighbor, your friend, maybe even yourself.  And its amazing.  If ever someone asks you how or why you read comic books stick this floppy in their hands and say welcome to a world of righteousness and heroics.
