I love Alex Maleev's work but I have to say this issue features some of the best work I've seen from him, as there's a pair of double-page spreads in this issue that are truly amazing pieces of art, from the graceful almost ballet like poetry of the attack that Daredevil and the Black Widow make on the raging Jigsaw, to the slap in the face that last page provides. The art also does a fantastic job of capturing the disfigured look of Jigsaw, as he truly looks like the type of face that would haunt one's nightmares, though there's also a nicely comical moment where we see he's trying to spook Matt with some bogeyman hand waving.

It might seem unfair to give a worthy enough issue a merely average score, but Daredevil is up against its own high standards here, and lately theres been a feeling that this title is treading water. Whilst the writing is good, theres not really a sense of anything significant happening this issue: and Bendis arc set-ups are normally as much something to write home about as their denouements. Definitely not the place to start reading, but a fair enough stop-gap until something bigger happens next issue. Read Full Review
