Whether the comics are inspiring or disappointing, I read them all.
Welcome to The Pull List.
And, as always...Spoilers ahead!
Writer: Mark Waid
Artist: Chris Samnee
Colorist: Javier Rodriguez
Letters: Joe Caramagna
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $2.99
Thirty issues in, and Mark Waid has been the mastermind behind what is arguably not only the best Daredevil run of all time, but also the best series in the game today.
The preview at the end of last month’s issue made me super excited. I mean come on: A Daredevil and Silver Surfer team up!?
How are they going to pull this off?
I’m here to report that it was pulled off in spectacular fashion.
Ru’Ach, an Achian, is a galactic fugitive who seeks the counsel of Matt Murdock.
This moment is great because his idea about hiring Murdock is based on an inebriated commencement speech. Silver Surfer comes in to apprehend Ru’Ach and Murdock stops him in his tracks since he feels his “client”is innocent until the Surfer proves otherwise. The adventure they embark on was an absolute pleasure to be a part of, and Chris Samnee’s two page spread of Daredevil driving Silver Surfer’s board was priceless and needs to be made into a poster ASAP.
This issue has a little bit of everything from comedy to action and everything else in between. This is definitely one of the best single issues of the year and you owe it to yourself as a comic book fan to read this issue.
Grade: A+
