Daredevil #2

/ / Comics

In an issue that continues to put off Daredevil‘s battle with the Hand for at least another issue, Daredevil #2 (which Marvel Comics is also marketing as Daredevil #650 had it not rebooted the hero every few years) deals with Robert Goldman and the fallout from his recent actions. The idea of a villain, or anti-hero, working behind-the-scenes to pull a hero’s puppet strings for his own purposes would have more impact if it hadn’t been done so often in comics (see Moon Knight‘s recent arc). Goldy doesn’t see himself as a villain and believes his actions, such as crashing a subway, are all in Daredevil’s best interests.

Throwback Thursday takes us back to a classic comic featuring old Shell-Head. Released 37 years ago, Iron Man #200 brought the fight between a pissed-off Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane to a close.

After the introduction of Dr. Woody Farrier as the new Cryptozoologist for the B.P.R.D. we get a few single-panel snapshots of his adventures with Hellboy over a few years (leading to resentment over time at the pull of field work versus scientific exploration in the lab) before the two show up in Sutton, West Virginia, in 1957 to investigate a flying saucer.

Once and Future #28

/ / Comics

The end of the year arrives in Once and Future #28. As agreed, Mary resumes the role of Nimue and helps Duncan, Bridgette, and Rose in choosing to bestow Excalibur on the Zombie Arthur (the Arthur that they know best and believe they can most easily manipulate) so that he might thin the herd of the various Arthurs looking to pull the sword from the stone and claim the world as their own. It seems Nimue has come to peace with saving the world over immediate vengeance for her son.
