Daredevil #7

Despite the tease that we might see Avengers involvement, there are no mighty heroes in Daredevil #7, instead Daredevil puts a handful of his recruits to good use in preventing police and a corrupt CEO from evicting families from their tenement. A large part of the comic also deals with Matt Murdock’s unwillingness to accept fate or destiny and not walk into what he fears is a trap laid by The Hand.

Daredevil #6

Remember that time Iron Man failed to stop Elektra from killing the President of the United States? Yeah… Okay, so it wasn’t really the President, he’d been replaced by some kind of Hand puppet to do really bad things, but I’m guessing this isn’t going to look to good in the press (even if the non-President’s body does dissipate into dust on-camera proving he wasn’t the real President).

Daredevil #5

After stalling, or getting sidetracked with other matters, Matt Murdock‘s battle with the hand has finally begun. Having married Elektra in a Fist ceremony and unlocked new-found power for his followers, Daredevil turns to more recruiting as the Fist infiltrates the Myrmidon and frees any willing to join him. Along the way Daredevil will also need to deal with US Agent and various soldiers before the Fist disappears back into the either but not without leaving a message for Matt’s old friends.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Episode 8

  • Title: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Ribbit and Rip It
  • IMDb: link

Well, at least the Daredevil scenes were fun. Sandwiched between the show’s mediocre sitcom writing about a super-hero lawyer who dosen’t do much super-heroing or lawyering, the meat of the episode offers the return of Charlie Cox both in and out of costume as Matt Murdock and Daredevil. Also, points for getting the yellow version of Daredevil on screen (even if the reason for the change in costume is never addressed). For a series fumbling around the idea of female empowerment, there is some irony in the idea that it’s a man who gets Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) back into the courtroom (as a lawyer and not a defendant) and into her super-hero costume for the first time.

Daredevil #3

Still dragging his feet in taking on The Hand, Daredevil gets sidetracked yet again in the latest issue when his recruitment for help leads him to stick his nose into Luke Cage‘s business as Mayor of New York with the Stromwyn. While Cage doesn’t have trouble with dealing with the pair, they do notice Daredevil spying on them. Other than being mystical and dangerous, there’s not much to the odd pair worthy of note.
