Daredevil #29 (409)
In "Underboss Part 4," Daredevil #29 (2002) delivers a tense, character-driven chapter in the ongoing conflict between justice and power. As Vanessa Fisk learns her husband is gravely injured—far from dead as the world believes—flashbacks reveal the simmering betrayal within the Kingpin’s empire, where a young man’s loyalty is tested and a long-held grudge begins to surface. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated with gritty precision by Alex Maleev, the issue’s cover by Maleev captures the weight of secrets and violence in the shadows.
