Story

Do you experience ringing in your ears? Armando Iannucci suggests that tinnitus has nothing to do with your hearing. Instead, the brain interprets nerve impulses as alarms. Even people with exceptional hearing—like Daredevil—can experience tinnitus. Having suffered from this disease for decades, I’ve yet to hear such a definitive diagnosis from a doctor. But even if Iannucci simplifies a complex spectrum of symptoms that plagues millions of people, I can relate to Matt Murdock's admission: "It's like somebody tipped a dumpster full of noise in my brain." While enduring trials, we can take inspiration from our heroes and battle on.

Art

Adam Kubert works across pages as Daredevil battles villains, argues in the courtroom, and swings through the sky. The pain Matt experiences transforms his features in Marvel Age #1000. Even wearing his mask, the agony he endures is apparent. Frank Martin's coloring shows these sonic explosions wash through him. Joe Caramagna's skills prove especially powerful here.
