If you are fan of Mark Waid's current run on Daredevil, you don't need to buy this book. It doesn't tie in at all. This is not to say that it's a bad comic book; it's a fun little tale about a single night of Daredevil patrolling the city. But considering how great Daredevil has been, it's a definite step down in quality.
Alan Davis writes and draws this issue, which right away should tell you that it's a beautifully drawn comic book. Davis is a true master in the realm of comic art and he shines here. Daredevil looks awesome and graceful. The panels where he swings across the city are a true site to behold. Since this is an annual, it comes with a higher page count and price tag. For me, extra pages of Alan Davis artwork is worth the extra dollar, but not everyone will feel that way. Especially when you consider the fact that the story is just sort of mediocre.
In this issue, Daredevil crosses paths with the ClanDestine. It's less than compelling and not the kind of story that deserves to be stretched out with an extra long annual issue. Again, it's not bad and certainly does entertain, but once it's over you'll close the book and forget all about it. There is nothing lasting within this issue. It's a bummer, because Daredevil is a character that has been on my mind ever since Waid's relaunch.
