Summary: Not the best Daredevil story
Review: This 1994 event was supposed to be a major chapter in the Daredevil comic series, and it is and isn't in many ways. The storyline revolves around a virus called About Face which it seems everyone wants to get their hands on. Daredevil is re-united with Elektra as they try to stop the Snakeroot from obtaining it, and in between Daredevil's identity is revealed by an ambitious reporter, and culminates in a faceoff between Daredevil and Elektra against Snakeroot, the Hellspawn (no, not that one), and Erynys; a killer created in Elektra's image. The plot is confusing beyond belief at points, but the excellent art elevate this otherwise disappointing Daredevil saga. Fall From Grace also features appearances from Venom, Morbius, and Silver Sable; all of whom are mostly here for show.

Summary: Looks great
Review: This is one hell of a confusing story. When I read Grant Morrison's JLA or Warren Ellis' Stormwatch, it's sometimes a bit confusing, but I know at the back of my mind that there is a good story there to make it worthwhile. When I read XMen books it's often confusing, and I know in the back of my mind that the story is a pile of drivel anyway, so I might as well not bother.

This book seems to fall into the former category, but it is hard work. It always helps to have a West Indian demon though.

The art on the book is gorgeous though and perfectly matched with the colouring. If you ever buy books on the strength of the art alone, this is definitely one to go for.

The main problem with this book for me is that it turns the ending to Elektra Assassin into a dream (which kind of fits but is a shame)
