   Daredevil is in trouble. Given to the beast by Sam, it opens it’s mouth and greets him. For a long time, he’s been an enemy of the Hand. Far bigger than Tenfingers ever was. He instantly finds himself free of pain but it’s fleeting, as he’s run through by the ninjas.

Dang. Looks like it hurts.

   Outside the temple, Sam hears Matt’s screams and it gives him pause. His mother asks him what did he expect? This was the deal and he can’t look back. But as he hears his former mentor suffer, he has the lingering thought that leaving him there is wrong. Meanwhile Tenfingers calls Daredevil a fool and tells him to stay down and stop fighting. Daredevil struggles to his feet and suddenly the Beast’s minion is stabbed through the back. Sam couldnt’ leave him there. He’s intervened and broken his oath. 

Traitor!

   As the beast rises to destroy the two, it’s riddled with arrows from Sam’s mother. She screams at them to run. Daredevil is shocked that Lu Wei came back to help him. But the beast plucks her from her perch. She didn’t come back for Daredevil. She came back for Sam, as the beast swallows her down. Daredevil and Blindspot look back helplessly, as the temple disappears. He screams in sorrow as they are left on the mountain all alone.
   Later the two of them gather their thoughts in the cafe.Why would it just leave them? Sam takes the opportunity to tell Matt why he became Blindspot in the first place. His invisibility suit could have made him millions but he was an illegal alien. The fact that he and his people can be deported at any time is maddening. Matt asks him isn’t that why he should go back? He brings him back to New York as an asylum claim. Keeping him there long term will be a process. Suddenly Matt hears troubling news. He borrows a strangers phone and makes a phone call. Foggy answers. The rumors are true. He was out for a long time. In his absence, the Kingpin has been elected Mayor of New York City. Matt can’t believe it, and with that, we’re left to be continued.

For reals?

   Daredevil’s foray into the Marvel Legacy era begins with the next issue. Having said that, these books that have quietly flowed under the radar have been classics in their own time. Charles Soule is the greatest writer of this character in the last decade and he deserves to be recognized for it. His story’s are rich and combined with Ron Garney’s minimalist style, just pop together. It’s great. I’m looking forward to see where this series goes forward as it is finally recognized with it’s true numbering. For this one, I give it a perfect 10/10... because I don’t think it gets much better than this...
