Last issue of the current volume of the Daredevil the Guardian Devil of Hell’s Kitchen collection but it doesn’t end here. Panini Comics closes three years of USA publications with a small special that leads the Kingpin and Typhoid Mary to the altar.
If we have been saying it for a long time
That Wilson Fisk could be seen from afar and that he was beginning to have feelings for a certain woman of arms, something that we had not seen in him so clearly since his marriage to his wife Vanessa. And in the end, what started with a foolishness has been increasing to such an extent that, with a marriage proposal ahead, it will end with the Mayor of New York going through the vicarage to make it official, through the parish priest and posh guests. But his is not the only love story that Chip Zdarsky has told us in this episode.
Once free from prison, Matthew Murdock / Daredevil also has his reunion with Elektra Natchios, away from the madding crowd of the city and prior to sharing swings between the rooftops of New York. If both gentlemen have something in common, it is that their relationships are with two women that we could consider dangerous, in more ways than one, but for now the directions seem to want to send us a romantic message before Fisk and Murdock face each other during the header that will replace this one for the next four months, El Reinado del Diablo.
preparations everywhere
As with any pre-wedding date that isn’t about rushing off to Vegas and quickly throwing on an Elvis Presley suit and a Marilyn Monroe suit for a whirlwind wedding, you need to prepare your wardrobe, test your catering, and choose your flowers. , among other two hundred and forty-four things, as those of us who have been through a tremendous event know. Therefore, and despite the stress that all this setback can generate in a couple in love, we are faced with a fairly slow, thoughtful episode, which closes some loose ends and reveals that evil does not rest even on a honeymoon. Especially when the final cliffhanger fully opens the doors to The Devil’s Reign.
On the other hand we have Matt and Elektra strengthening their relationship in a totally natural way, advancing in the passion that has characterized their last encounters and in general all their romance throughout time. Miss Natchios is well aware of the brevity of moments and that her death in her profession as a superhero may be just around the corner. That is why unleashing her instincts is easy for him, much more so than for Murdock, who is drawn into this maelstrom rather than provoking it himself.
Thank you very much Mr. Zdarsky
This opening title may sound a bit like a farewell, but we all know that at the moment we still have a couple of miniseries where Chip is going to continue with these characters, on the one hand, the aforementioned The Devil’s Reign to which Daredevil must be added: the woman without fear, so she will still leave us pearls with both Matt and Elektra. In the first we will have Marco Checchetto (whose absence in these last numbers is justified by dealing with the new miniseries without having to be replaced) and in the second the Brazilian Rafael De Latorre, whom we know from his participation in the Animosity series, from the Aftershock label that publishes Planeta and for their current collaboration on the new Black Widow series. But we have to thank Zdarsky for what he has given us so far, a whole work of art to set the scene.
So without the Italian Checchetto or any of his usual substitutes like Hawthorne or Landini, we have for this last episode of Daredevil, the Spanish Manuel García, whose work makes us wish we had had a lot more of him in these pages. The man from Salamanca already has a career of more than twenty years in comics, in which he has already collaborated with both DC Comics and Marvel but without settling in any of them. We hope that the time will come today because he leaves us a fairly round number to close this stage, as well as recommending you enjoy his art in the bloodsuckers trilogy that Yermo published a few years ago, Land of Vampires.
