DAREDEVIL #355


****
Daredevil #355 is a Marvel publication from August of 1996. This issue was written by Karl Kesel and penciled by Cary Nord and S. Epting.

In this issue, Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson have partnered with Rosalind Sharpe's law firm, and Matt has been put in charge of defending a known killer. This is a test of Matt's ethics as he knows that Hyde, his defendant, is not guilty of the accused crime, but is guilty of numerous other crimes. During Matt's investigations, he, as Daredevil he faces off against Pyro, the mutant master of flames who is trying to destroy evidence in the case that Matt is investigating.

I've always been a fan of Daredevil stories. Kesel run at this time was no different. There are always layers to the Daredevil character. Plenty of action, and there is always light into the life of the blind lawyer and his personal coping with the death of his father, the stress of a legal career and the pressure of a secret identity.

Kesel's writing was very well balanced by the great overall look provided by Nord and Epting and the colors from Christie Scheele. All the elements really make this comic come alive, which is why I give DAREDEVIL #355 a four out of five stars.
