That's the secret behind the success of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's run on Daredevil.
Well, that and the fact that they're telling great stories with interesting characters and fantastic art.
But it's the humor that was missing before they came on board.
This issue had all the earmarks of a tragic tale, as Matt goes public with the fact that he's in love.
That hasn't gone well in the past - it's a deadly occupation, being Daredevil's sweetie.
But give Waid and Samnee credit - they find a fresh spin on the topic, and take the story in unexpected directions - all while keeping a smile on our face.
As should be obvious by now, if you're not buying this series, you're making a terrible mistake. It's one of the best in the business.
