There are some comic books that feel like perfection because they get the character right; they nail the story and deliver emotionally. Other comics showcase their wonder through craft, whether it's art, lettering, structure, or production. Daredevil #26 is all of these things, a master class in comic book craft and storytelling. Since its relaunch, Daredevil has been fantastic, but with this issue it enters into a territory of brilliance. All roads led us here -- everything this series has built points to this issue -- and it's truly something to marvel at.

Mark Waid and Chris Samnee keep their formula intact in this issue. It builds upon the bigger narrative, but is still new reader friendly. Everything you need to know you get here. We finally see the big bad who has been toying with Matt Murdock and it's a great reveal. All the pieces come together in a satisfying and exciting way. Comics like this don't come around often, but when they do it serves as a reminder as to what we love so very, very much about this medium.The craft of this issue is beyond stunning. Joe Caramagna's lettering is superb (that neat trick with the elevator door), Javier Rodriguez's vibrant color work, all of it. Every piece of this issue fits into place. There's even a backup that rivals the main feature. We get to see Foggy Nelson learn the importance of believing in something from a group of cancer-stricken children. It's moving, inspiring, and heartbreaking all at once. From cover to cover, Daredevil #26 delivers. This is what happens when everything clicks. This is why we love comics. This is what it is all about.
