Daredevil ended the previous issue by tracking down the reason for the current fungus problem to an upper East Side apartment. At this location, he encountered a Mushroom Man who seemed incapable of being defeated in a battle with any superhero. The apartment was obviously decorated in a fungus motif and the host's pleasantries didn't appear to amuse the man without fear.
Saladin Ahmed has presented an amazing conclusion to this three-part story. The artistry with the battle scenes by José Luis Soares and Oren Junior were artistically top-notch. Once again, Daredevil #22 had the ability to draw in an audience based on its amazing cover artwork by John Romita, Jr., Scott Hanna and Richard Isanove.
The Mushroom Man introduces himself as Lionsmane. As it turns out, Lionsmane is really Justin Stromwyn, the nephew of Quinn and Una Stromwyn, who also made a big mess in Hell's Kitchen with their own dealings. Stromwyn is the owner of Propertunity Towers, as well as many other dwellings within the city. He was zapping the energy of his tenants to increase his own strength.
While Daredevil was struggling to free himself of the grip of the fungus, Nyla Skin crashed the party to assist in the fight. It was Nyla's idea to inform Daredevil of Cousins Hardware, where he broke into the store to grab some Fungicide to subdue the problem mushroom. The owners of the hardware store ended up being okay with Daredevil's actions because it was their customers that he was saving.
With Nyla Skin being still rattled by the events of the day, Matt Murdock stayed in with Nyla to help her get through this. A great way to end this adventure!
