- Title: Daredevil #7
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Mark Waid
- Artist: Marcos Martin
The holidays turn out to be anything but stress-free for Matt Murdock when his getaway with eight blind at-risk students goes horribly wrong after their bus gets lost and crashes in a snowstorm.
Far from anywhere, thanks to the (now deceased) bus driver’s shortcut, Daredevil puts on a brave face and sets out with the kids through the blizzard (which is playing havoc with his radar sense) to find some safety.
It may not have any super-villains, but Daredevil #7 is one of the year’s best comics which showcases the hero’s heart as well as the resiliency of the children who end up saving the hero.
There’s also a great opening scene between Matt Murdock and Kristen McDuffie at the Nelson & Murdock holiday party where the lawyer shows up in horns and a red and white hoodie proclaiming he’s no super-hero. I think the kids would disagree. Best of the week.
