- Title: Daredevil #23
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Mark Waid
- Artist: Chris Samnee
With only hours left before Foggy hears his test results, Daredevil takes his friend on a whirlwind journey around the rooftops of New York City (which includes the hero’s favorite spot in the city). Attempting to brighten his friend’s mood is put on hold when Daredevil is forced to deal with a small army of thieves all of whom appear to have been experimented on in an attempt to recreate the exact events that gave Daredevil his powers.
The bad guys are an interesting, if a bit bizarre, addition to the mastermind attacking Daredevil from all angles. It’s the scenes between Matt and Foggy, finally out of the poorly conceived distrust for each other, that work the best. The comic ends with Foggy learning the truth of his condition which could mean serious ramifications for the lawyer in the months and years to come.
We’re still no closer to the reveal of who is behind the attacks on Daredevil, although knowing the exact details of the accident which caused his blindness and enhanced senses narrows the field considerably. Worth a look.

I completely agree with you that Foggy has been acting like an asshole for months. I don’t buy that it is all tied to cancer either. That just lets him off the hook for betraying his best friend over and over. I did like this issue since it stopped all that shit.
