Volume 2 of The Devil Inside and Out picks up right where the previous volume left off and as such, there will be SPOILERS for those who haven’t read the first volume. So you’re warned now.
This volume contains issues 88-93 and covers a short issue at the beginning that catches us up with Foggy (The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson) and then the main story The Devil Takes a Ride.
The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson
This issue continues the struggles of Foggy Nelson as he deals with being under the FBI’s witness protection after his near miss in Volume 1. I liked getting to see things from Foggy’s perspective as he provides the more “normal person” viewpoint on all the crazy shit that Matt gets caught up in. It was good to see someone else looking out for Foggy too since his would-be murderer apparently has contacts everywhere.
The Devil Takes a Ride
In this arc, Matt’s breakout from Ryker’s gives him the ability to track down whoever ordered Foggy’s apparent death and sends him all over Europe in the process. It’s an interesting look on how the struggle between Daredevil and Kingpin has affected people other than just the two of them and how evil deeds can poison everyone. The mystery of who was behind Foggy’s attempted murder was interesting in a way that I wasn’t expecting and I really liked how they tied up the loose ends, particularly in Matt’s life, by the last issue.
And I just gotta say that Vanessa Fisk is one of the most interesting characters in both runs of Daredevil. I liked that she was finally facing the consequences of the brutal things she did while Bendis was writing. It felt more real to have her be twisted by the things that she had done and the things that Wilson had done. It was just very well written and impressive in a way that I wasn’t expecting from Brubaker. I’m used to gritty, crime noir stories from him and wasn’t expecting a nuanced take on Vanessa’s character.
Volume 2 wraps up the loose ends from the first volume in a way that left me feeling very satisfied and also intensely interested in where Brubaker and Lark will take Daredevil next. Highly recommend it!
