With the 22nd issue of “Daredevil: The Man Without Fear”, with many people liking the artwork of Gene Colan, Colan would be used for the series, while John Romita would focus on “The Amazing Spider-Man”. But Stan Lee returns with another action-packed issue!
So, with this issue, Daredevil has rescued Judge Lewis from The Owl.
And no Matt Murdock, feels that he must confess his love to Karen Page, but for Karen, she’s been worried about Matt and is suspicious of him because he keep disappearing.
But just when you think that Matt can get some rest, the Masked Maurader and the Gladiator are back to cause trouble for Daredevil.
This time Masked Marauder has created and android known as Tri-Man which is powered by three individuals: A wrestler, a thief and an one with intelligence. So, in essence, Daredevil is going against the power of three individuals.
But with Karen Page suspicious of Matt, Matt tries to find a way to make Karen not suspicious him, but knowing he is low on time and must confront the Tri-Man.
So, this is an interesting storyline as we get to see Daredevil’s nemesis returns but this time taking on an android. If anything, issue 22 establishes that there will be a love triangle between Karen, Matt and Froggy. Froggy knows that she cares more about Matt, while Matt really wants to confess his love to her but is waiting for the right time.
But for a superhero who is often busy… Is there a right time?
A fun issue for the most part, but it continues in issue #23.
