Legendary artist Lee Weeks returns to his favorite hero for "Angels Unaware!" A blizzard brings New York to a stand still -- and a young patient lies on death's door unless Daredevil can get to him in time!
Matt Murdock gets mugged during a blackout in NY. He wakes up in the hospital with amnesia and freaks out about being blind, but more so that his other senses are amplified. Eventually he recovers enough to stop the men who mugged him from robbing the ER.
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, a family is in a car crash, and one of the kids dies...they decide to donate her organs, including her heart to a girl in NYC. The chopper crashes near the Hudson River, Matt hears this in the hospital, and leaves the hospital to rescue the heart with only 45 minutes before it's no good.
This one gets you with the feels....looking forward to the rest of the volume.
always enjoy my revisits of this DD limited series by Lee Weeks. during a massive winter snow storm Matt finds himself in a nearby hospital E.R. There he learns that even though he's injured, someone else desperately needs his help. DD's help! and time isn't on his side. though weakened, DD faces the storm alone and it isn't his only obstacle.
Read all of Angels Unaware (#1-3) and really enjoyed it. The art was beautiful without being distracting, the narration added to the emotional stakes, and it was a great succinct little story arc.
image: This read like Lee Weeks had ignored every Daredevil comic that came out after Frank Miller’s initial run–a lot of noir-y posturing, Catholic iconography, rugged self-sacrifice. Weeks doesn’t seem capable of unnecessary flashiness, which makes the whole thing feel somewhat dated and workmanlike, but in a way that feels classic instead of old. This is a lovely, somewhat pointless, exercise–but it isn’t like this genre is drowning in those.
