Daredevil, Vol. 2: Parts of a Hole by David W. Mack
4.0
Parts of a Hole collects Marvel Knights Daredevil #9-15
Okay, this was some gooooood shit. David Mack of Kabuki fame writes a tale of the eternal conflict between Daredevil and the Kingpin. In this installment, the Kingpin unleashes Echo in the Man without Fear's direction. Echo is a deaf woman with photographic reflexes and a bonafide bad ass. Echo and Daredevil's alter egos getting mutually infatuated certainly complicates things.
David Mack's writing brings something new to the table. It still feels like a Daredevil story but also seems like a kung fu story, albeit one with some very human touches. The pace is fast and furious and some serious thought went into the fights between Daredevil and Echo.
Joe Quesada draws some of the issues and David Ross draws others. I'm wondering if deadlines or Joe Q's bloody rise to power in the Marvel hierarchy behind the scenes had something to do with it. Anyway, a lot of it happens during the day, which is a nice change of pace for a Daredevil book.
The events at the end made me glad this was part of my Daredevil haul from shopgoodwill a few weeks ago. Four out of five stars.
