Daredevil, Volume 4 by Mark Waid
2.0
This starts with Iron Man, Dr Strange, and Ant Man helping clear out the nanobots Dr Doom put in Matt's head. That entire issue was just super cool and I wanted to see more Ant Man working with him tbh. They really had a thing going there.
But after Foggy finds the remains of Matt's father in his desk, he believes Matt has lost his mind and kicks him out. Matt has no idea how the remains got there and when even more strange things start happening, he doesn't know what to believe. Is he actually losing his mind or is there more to it?
The story was pretty engaging and very emotional but it also made me so mad and then things were done so poorly. Foggy is the worst friend ever?? He thinks there is something wrong with his buddy so he... screams at him, throws him out, tells him he needs help but then also tells him to lose his number and how he never wants to hear from him again. Of course not forgetting when he tells the ADA who Daredevil really is and how he's mentally unstable so she can get the police to go after him.
Like???? What the fuck? The reaction was completely over the top and didn't make any sense. The whole thing was shit and it was so out of character too.
Daredevil being unsure of his own mentally stability is an interesting concept and then especially considering what he just went through. But this was handled so badly in my opinion that it just shouldn't have been done. The light it gives to mental illness and getting help was so completely bad and I hope anyone going through anything doesn't have a "friend" like Foggy. Even in the end when he's proven wrong he just digs in his own asshole behavior and they don't reconcile in this volume.
The villain in this was so fucking creepy and gross looking and I'm still itchy. I didn't really get WHY this person was doing anything though. How they did the things they did, didn't make sense but I'm not going to think too deep into it because I don't think the people who made this did either.
Maybe I just have to throw in the towel for this run because it just isn't hitting anymore. 2 stars instead of the 3 I was going to give originally because looking at that twisted blob creature with the holes and limbs coming through the holes into other holes actually ruined my entire day.
