It's finally here, Daredevils 50th issue (of the current series) and with it Bendis is going to answer questions and hit you with a hammer blow (depends how you look at it). To celebrate the big occasion Bendis & Maleev have invited some friends along to the party, with guest artist cameos by John Romita Jr., Joe Quesada, Klaus Janson, Lee Weeks, John Romita Sr., David Mack & Gene Colan!

Bendis has built this arc, this series, to this point, to this situation! What happens when you reach a point where you know what will happen next, as it always happens, but this time, this time you're not prepared to retread old ground! The KingPin is back, he's made moves directed at Daredevil. So what happens now, do we dance the same dance, or is it time for new moves!?!

The art for the most part is to its typical high standards. In some places it isn't great (its not bad, jus not as good) though. The thing is, there are seven different guest artists working here. Everything is still dark and gritty, which is a great portrayal of the underbelly of Daredevil's world. Inconsistencies nag though. KingPin's look changes (for a few panels) and at the end Daredevil's mask. Other than that, very nice.
