Daredevil 241 Review

Daredevil Issue 241 is the next issue on the pile as we delve right into the Really Big Box of Comic Boos of Doom. In this issue, a criminal by the name of Trixter takes Daredevil right on a Christmas Crime Spree in this jolly holiday special. Let us delve in and review this issue.

Daredevil Volume 1 Issue 241 Review

Daredevil Issue 241 was titled "Black Christmas" and was released by Marvel Comic Books with a cover date of April 1987. This comic was written by Ann Nocenti, Penciled by Todd McFarlane, Inked by Al Milgrom, Colored by Max Scheele, and Lettered by Joe Rosen.

To me, regarding Daredevil, it can rather be a paradox of a comic book. There are times where the issues are blow away, where you are pumped up. You cannot wait to move forward, from one issue, to the next issue. Every single issue is a great read and you cannot really wait.

Then there are times where the Daredevil Comic Book rather can reign weak. I think that the strength of Daredevil lies in the gritty mob stories that it tells. The more mean spirited vibe of the comic book can rather tend to work towards it favor with death, intrigue, and drug addiction.

Daredevil is the last comic book that should be doing a Christmas Story and this as with the tone of the Daredevil comic book, it really does tend to fall right to a dismal ending. The villain, the Trixter, was pretty much cooked to a crisp by being zapped by lighting. There was some darkness as well and we are remind too much that for every family who is together on Christmas, there are other families that are torn apart, because Mom or Dad would rather drink their life away.

Or that people do get dumped on Christmas Day and go right to drug addiction.

Just a charming but sadly realistic image to present right in a book like this.

Daredevil 241 is not one I would recommend for anyone other than Daredevil fans and comic book completists.
