Daredevil #22

Daredevil #22 delivers a payoff that's been building throughout the Rites of Reconciliation arc, with Saladin Ahmed revealing the eerie truth behind Lionsmane, both in name and identity. With tense, visceral art by Jose Luis Soares and Carlos Nieto, the issue blends psychological horror with emotional stakes, forcing Daredevil to confront a threat that scrambles both his senses and his heart. A solid resolution is offered, but with one haunting image, you'll be asking if the door is left cracked open just enough for a potential return. Read Full Review

It started off solid, and then just got cheesier as it went on. Some of that dialogue was horrendous. I'm giving it a little boost for the art.

Plot Matt faces off against this humanoid, fungus-filled creature who calls himself LIONSMADE, but is actually Justin Stromwyn, the nephew of a real estate mogul Daredevil once fought. Justin managed to create this fungus, and it's infecting all the buildings he owns. People act as batteries for it to continue spreading and take over the city. Lionsmade's power and its spores make him a difficult opponent to harm. Nyla appears and manages to distract Lionsmade, and Matt obtains a fungicide fumigation team and defeats Justin, who confesses his guilt and repairs all the damage he did to all the people and buildings. Matt achieves a victory and the support of the community and is happy with his relationship with Nyla. This conclud es this story arc, and Taskmaster arrives for the next issue. Art It's very detailed, with well-rendered anatomy, as well as classic action scenes. Summary Daredevil vs. Liosnmade more

Pretty unsatisfying ending to the arc. Felt like the way a children’s cartoon would wrap up an episode.

Oh, I was down with this story so far, but now it just feels like we are ripping off the Last of Us, but in a really lame way. Also, the dialogue kind of suddenly takes a nosedive once the villain Lionsmane reveals himself. Not a good sign of what is to come, I fear. And after such a good start, too... I do like the ending where Daredevil shares a moment with Nyla at least. She seems like a consistently positive point in Matt's otherwise currently bleak life.
