james_desantis 's review for:
Daredevil, Volume 5
by Mark Waid
Now we're getting to the real good stuff. Mark Waid took a bit, and some fumbles, nothing horrible, but nothing "Amazing" yet this volume contained some AMAZING human moments that I've come to love from Daredevil as a whole.
If you didn't know I'm creating "Sparks" Graphic Novel, which is based off a book I published a few years ago, and it's about a man who becomes the first superhero ever but also gets diagnosed with cancer. My goal was to always make the story feel heavy, and not just use cancer as an excuse or force a sad scene, but be part of the character growth. That's something Mark did here.
Spoilers - Foggy and Matt learn that Foggy has cancer. It's done in such a well done scene that it made me nearly tear up. But then the rest of the volume deals with Matt putting his friend above all else. It's powerful, beautiful, and well written.
The superior Spider-man issue feels out of place, and while somewhat funny, it doesn't hold a candle to the rest and feels too long at times. It's even more evident when the stuff beyond Foggy is almost as engaging. We find out who's been fucking up Daredevil's life, it makes sense, and it's great stuff (Especially a certain beatdown).
On top of that the final few pages when Foggy visits the kids in the cancer ward. Ugh...fuck me. I teared up. My wife teared up, and all I did was tell her about the scene lol. Great moments, great story, weird out of place issue aside. 4.5/5.
