Le diable au couvent

Description de Le diable au couvent

Daredevil returns to New York to settle some issues, but gets caught in the middle of a battle between Orb and the superheroes. He is hit by the projections sent by the eye of the Watcher Uatu, which brings back buried or revealed secrets in everyone's memories. Matt remembers an episode where his father held him in his arms while his mother lay on the ground, apparently abused. This destroys the image he had of his father, and he decides to go to the church where his mother, Sister Maggie, found salvation. There, he learns that she and two other nuns have been arrested for vandalism. Although he can no longer practice as a lawyer in New York, Matt goes to the penitentiary center and interrogates his mother. She does not understand why she is there, as she did not receive a fair trial, and that she and the other nuns are to be sent to Wakanda! Daredevil will also go there, but not officially...

Critique de Le diable au couvent

In this second 'All-New Marvel Now' album dedicated to 'Daredevil', fans will be delighted with the carefully crafted twists and turns by writer Mark Waid. Indeed, in his usual exploration of Matt Murdock's past, one point remained to be clarified: the role of his mother. The author seizes on the 'Original Sin' crossover to trigger the memory of a scene where Matt saw his father hitting his mother. From there, he investigates Sister Maggie, his mother, but everything is done to prevent him from discovering the whole truth. During the two episodes in which we follow the troubles of our favorite blind hero (in balance with Gilbert Montagné of course), we are intrigued. Mark Waid excels on this title by offering a very classic narration but with a fluid and very modern layout. These two chapters reach back far into the mythology of 'Daredevil', perhaps even to the years when Frank Miller wrote the series. The second part of the album is also excellent. The devil of San Francisco is confronted with both Killgrave and a group of children with very dangerous powers. While some may find the approach too classic, Mark Waid cultivates the difference of 'Daredevil' from other comics published simultaneously and thus offers it a true originality. Not revolutionary, but indispensable.
