The final chapter of ‘The Omega Effect’ is a disappointment in some ways, in that the threat of the Omega Drive isn’t resolved at all. Daredevil’s plan to destroy it fails and all of his, Spider-Man’s and Punisher’s efforts were for nought. But in terms of character development, this issue was a real success. The conversation between Daredevil and Rachel Alves was fantastic, really got to the heart of what it means to be a hero. I’m very interested to see where Rachel will go from here, will she continue to be a part of the Punisher title as his sidekick (sorry, ally) or will she show up elsewhere? It’s great that a character who’s only been in about 12 comics can stand toe-to-toe with the other big names in this story. Add to that some great Spider-Man quips from Waid and the wonderfully taciturn Frank Castle and this was just what you want from a street-level team-up. Big respect also to Marco Checchetto, who kept the quality of his artwork up whilst delivering 3 issues in 3 weeks which is no mean feat. And hey, we get another issue of DD next week! Get in.

Yeah, I was disappointed that the story wasn't resolved too.

I'll be glad when this Omega Drive thing is done too. Not really diggin' the storyline. The writing and art is still great but this plot needs to end.

"Weekly" Daredevil has been pretty cool too.

I actually liked it at first, it had some potential but it kinda floundered here.
