Daredevil #36 (416)

In "One Hundred Percent Untrue," Matt Murdock faces a storm of personal and public scrutiny as he denies under pressure that he’s Daredevil, even as his life spirals toward a final reckoning. Alex Maleev’s moody, textured art brings every tense exchange to life—whether it’s a quiet moment with Vanessa, a sharp rebuff from the Widow, or Elektra’s sudden, ominous appearance. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and rendered with signature intensity by Maleev, this 2002 issue stands as a pivotal chapter in the character’s journey.
