his story follows a familiar but engaging pattern. It starts with Daredevil out on patrol, using his incredible hearing and sharp intellect to realize that a “movie” being filmed nearby seems suspicious. This discovery leads him into action.

Unfortunately, he quickly finds himself outmatched by the newly formed Fellowship of Fear, led by the recently introduced Mister Fear. Using a weapon that induces terror even in the “Man Without Fear,” they manage to make Daredevil flee.

Later, Daredevil and the Fellowship of Fear cross paths again. This time, Foggy is present for his own reasons, but things take a turn when Foggy gets injured. Daredevil chooses to prioritize his friend over victory, rushing Foggy to the hospital. The criminals, now fearing exposure, plot to eliminate Foggy for good, pushing the story into its next phase.

Story

The story itself is compelling and well-paced, fitting the expected narrative beats of a Silver Age piece while still drawing readers in. Each act naturally leads to the next without feeling forced, which can sometimes be a risk with serialized storytelling. It’s a captivating read that builds anticipation for each turn.

Character & Development

The dynamic among the main cast continues to grow, particularly the love triangle built on respect and unspoken emotions. The story works to maintain the status quo while also subtly revealing deeper feelings through art and thought bubbles. Karen loves Matt, Matt yearns for Karen but believes she prefers Foggy, and he suspects Foggy has feelings for her, too. Daredevil’s inner thoughts, as well as his dual life, add layers to their strained connections.

Originality & Continuity

While the concept of a criminal group targeting our hero isn’t groundbreaking, the inclusion of lesser-known characters alongside the original Mister Fear works well in this issue. The story also strengthens the shared Marvel universe without resorting to forced cameos. (Speaking of cameos, the wax dummies of other Marvel heroes and villains serve as an intriguing backdrop!)

Artwork

The artwork here is top-notch, continuing to build a distinct style that sets Daredevil apart from other comics of the time – with its own style. The panels where Daredevil plunges into darkness, fighting with only his heightened senses, are particularly striking. This approach not only leaves much to the imagination but reinforces that Daredevil’s greatest strength is tied to his unique limitations.
