Daredevil Annual #1

Daredevil stands dominant over a fallen opponent clad in a red-and-black Spider-Man costume — the scarlet horns and billy club raised high in Marko Djurdjević's striking painted cover for this 2007 annual. The image crackles with physical intensity, promising the kind of street-level conflict that Ed Brubaker and Ande Parks excel at, brought to life on the interior pages by Leandro Fernández, Scott Koblish, and June Chung. "Devil May Care" looks like exactly the kind of oversized story that earns the annual format.
