Daredevil #97

Rain-soaked and visceral, this 2007 installment of "To the Devil, His Due" puts Daredevil in the thick of a brutal close-quarters struggle, rendered in Marko Djurdjević's painterly cover art with gritty intensity. The Man Without Fear grapples desperately against a hulking, monstrous opponent amid cascading downpour, the composition twisting both figures into a tangle of raw, desperate violence. Ed Brubaker, Michael Lark, Stefano Gaudiano, and Matt Hollingsworth continue their acclaimed run here, promising the same dark, street-level tension that made this era of Daredevil so compelling.
