Daredevil 251 Review

Daredevil Volume 1, Issue 251, is the next comic book that we will pull out of the really Big Comic Book Box of Doom. In this issue, a group of environmentalists is framed for murders that they did not commit. It is all down to Daredevil, the Man Without Fear, to manage to use his senses to really find the person behind the attacks.

Daredevil Volume 1 Issue 251 Review

Daredevil Issue 251 was released by Marvel Comics with a cover date of February 1988, with the title of "Save the Planet". Daredevil 251 was written by Ann Nocenti, Penciled by John Romita Jr., Inked by Al Williamson, Colored by Max Scheele, and Lettered by Joe Rosen.

Daredevil really does have quite a dark and cynical tone. It exists in the real world, where there are some twisted people out there, with some of them having children. Poor children who have the misfortune of having really sadistic people for parents.

Those in an environmental group who are protesting the practices of a company called Kelco find themselves in a rather tight legal issues, when there are murders committed that they are tied to. Naturally this is a big frame up, with all around nasty person, a criminal by the name of Bullet, who obviously is not the brightest bulb in the box, with nuclear waste all over his hands.

He uses his son as a tool to lie and try and evade justice. Of course, he has an even bigger tool should he need it, that being the pocket book of the Kingpin of Crime. The Kingpin, an old enemy of Daredevil, is always involved right in something like this and the problems are going to occur.

Daredevil manages to piece together the real culprit but it is all for naught. Justice is just something that plays second rate to the fact that there are a lot of corrupt people out there and there are corrupt people who can be bought rather easily.

Again a comic book that has a rather cynical view but the most cynical view is often times the most realistic one right out there. Grittiness is a key tool of Daredevil and sadly the world is not a happy place. This is why I call this comic book kind of mean spirited at times because it's a little too realistic.

Overall, an interesting and rather engaging story. I found Daredevil 251 to be a dark but intriguing read all together.
