This story is about the life Milla Donovan, Daredevil’s wife, as seen from her perspective. We learn how they met, what attracted her to him, how they married, how they parted and returned to each other. Most important, we learn about how she feels about Daredevil and how she wishes that he would choose her over his life as Daredevil. This story offers some comfort and closure before the next Daredevil storyline.

This is the exact type of break this series needed after years of turbulence. It’s great to see how Milla fits in Daredevil’s life and how she’s becoming a super hero’s wife, unlike all the other ones. As well as being a great little story about Daredevil’s wife, it’s also a perfect jumping point for new readers. There are no major villains or intrigues in this story, but we learn much about Daredevil from the woman who should know him best.

The cover, by Romita Senior, did put me off reading this book for a while. It just felt like reading one of those old romance novels. Although it is a guest cover honouring the character, it may not have been a good call. Lee Weeks is back on a Daredevil story and of course, his work fits well with the character. His work is so familiar to this old Daredevil reader that I did not even bother checking the credits. It reads naturally. This is how good comic books are made. You read it without bothering to check the credits. Because the execution is flawless, there is no need to see who participated.
