The conclusion of the "Cruel and Unsual" story arc finally arrives. Dakota North’s life hangs in the balance as Matt Murdock works feverishly to uncover the clues to the big frame-up at the heart of this tale. Writers Ed Brubaker (Captain America) and Greg Rucka (Gotham Central) and artist Michael Lark may have turned Daredevil into a crime comic, but there’s still a strong hero at its heart. This one shows why.
