Mark Waid

Mark Waid reinvents Daredevil by doing the opposite of everything that came before: instead of darkness and suffering, he writes Matt Murdock with genuine joy, humour, and resilience. The insight is simple and brilliant — a man who has survived everything Daredevil has survived would either break entirely or find a way to laugh. Paolo Rivera and Chris Samnee create a unique visual aesthetic that won the Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series. 720 pages of Daredevil at his most purely enjoyable.

Closing of the rotating phase before the start of Dan Slott's Big Time. The writers close their individual arcs and prepare the ground for the next phase: Horizon Labs, Spider-Island and the preparation of Superior Spider-Man. The end of Marvel's most ambitious editorial experiment with the character in decades.
