Daredevil, Vol. 2: Parts of a Hole by David W. Mack
5.0
A step up from the Kevin Smith run, this story about Echo, a Deaf savant who grew up under the guidance of Wilson Fisk, not knowing he is The Kingpin, is both an enthralling story, and a work of art. David Mack influenced Joe Quesada's page layouts so that each page flows into each other, occasionally with text woven around the frames. It's gorgeous.
There are also quite a few Kevin Smith homages and references that keep the story from getting too intense.
Reading this makes me want to go back and read [b:Kabuki, Vol. 1: Circle of Blood|89816|Kabuki, Vol. 1 Circle of Blood (Kabuki, #1)|David W. Mack|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1386924796l/89816._SY75_.jpg|1027], which I don't think I've read in over a decade.
If you like superhero noir, this is the beginning of a Golden Era in Daredevil (Kevin Smih's volume is also very good, but it's not as noirish as the Mack/Bendis/Brubaker runs.)
