Yes, there is a back-up story, but it’s every bit as good as the main story. And the art is exceptional! (Paolo Rivera on the main story, Marcos Martin on the back-up.) The description and depiction of how DD’s powers work is also very well-done in both stories. Even the LOC page (“Letters Without Fear” - Is that new?) was good, providing not only Waid’s pitch of the series, but also a tribute to long-time DD penciler Gene Colan.
No one is more surprised than I, but Marvel is still capable of producing comic books I want to read! This is the best “new number one” since… well, since Captain America a week or two back.

Spider-Man Brand New Day (which Waid was involved in) managed to find new ways to look at old characters for about 6 months before going back to recycling what was hot 20, 30 and 40 years ago. I've just finished the interminable Gauntlet. Please make it stop!
