The Blacklist - Frederick Barnes

Despite still blaming him for framing her husband (Ryan Eggold) for murder, Agent Keen (Megan Boone) is forced to work with Reddington (James Spader) to take down a member of The Blacklist responsible for the chemical attack on Washington D.C. subway by a chemical engineer named Frederick Barnes (Dr. James Wilson) who has very personal reasons for unleashing a rare disease upon the populace. Keen and Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) talk with the man’s former research partner (Amy Hargreaves) whose son suffers from the same rare disease Barnes weaponized and unleashed in the subway and learn the scientist is actually the boy’s father and was turned down for research grants to cure the disease when it was determined it was too rare to justify the funding.

Daredevil #32

/ / Comics

Daredevil #32Daredevil #32 begins with the anticlimactic result of the Jester‘s trap (which, as expected, is so obviously false it’s dispensed with in only a handful of panels). Mark Waid tries to see the humor in a villain refusing to believe Matt Murdock is truly blind, but the macabre nature of a lynched Foggy Nelson doll simply doesn’t work on any level.

From these humble beginnings the comic picks up as Daredevil enlists the help of Dr. Strange for information about the Sons of the Serpent and the cult’s magic book which offers the opportunity for a funny, if immensely cheap, stab at the people of Kentucky.

The comic ends with Daredevil interrupting a good ‘ol Southern lynch mob only to later realize the group is after actual monsters and he may have chosen the wrong side. The result is a somewhat forced Halloween adventure that ends in yet another cliffhanger and more trouble and no new answers for our hero. For fans.

[Marvel, $2.99]
