For the first issue of their brief run, DeMatties & Wagner got stuck servicing a crossover to kick off the ill-starred Marvel Edge line and have to focus on a plot about Nick Fury and the Punisher that has nothing to do with Daredevil himself.

It's nothing classic, but after slogging through 50 largely skippable issues an issue that's well-made is a breath of fresh air
