Anyone who knows me, also knows, that Daredevil was always one of my favorite Marvel comics. In an attempt to catch up with some of the later issues, I started by reading Daredevil #19 (or Legacy #681). This issue concluded the story "Introductory Rites" with solid artwork by Aaron Kuder and Jesus Aburtov. I was sold by the amazing cover art by John Romita, Jr., Scott Hanna and Richard Isanove. Although this was the conclusion of what appeared to be an awesome story, Saladin Ahmed had me hooked right away.
Matt Murdock was possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins, as well as those close to him. Foggy Nelson was dealing with Pride, while Wrath took hold of Jason, who turned up missing from St. Nicholas'. With Daredevil coming to the realization as to who he really is, he was forced to make a choice between either Bullseye dying or Foggy biting the dust by Wrath. In the aftermath of struggling with his conscience, Foggy ended up surviving while Bullseye splatted on the pavement. Foggy now has to live with the realization that he survived because of Bullseye's death.
Meanwhile, Elektra informs Daredevil that she has had no luck in finding the Kingpin. However, she does know that Wilson Fisk donated a large sum to the St. Nicholas' Youth Home. As far as both of them squaring away their personal issues with each other, that will have to wait for another day. It feels great to be involved with Murdock's problems again, so I can forget some of my own.
