Daredevil #112
Written By: Ed Brubaker
Art By: Michael Lark

Ah, yes the morning after is always a very awkward confusing morning...especially if you are getting put in a cop car. In issue #112, Ed Brubaker (Criminal, Sleeper) and Michael Lark (Gotham Central, Terminal City) continue to develop the relationship between Matt Murdock and Dakota North, which is a confusing one. I was very excited to see a little backstory into how Lady Bullseye had appeared in New York City and framing Murdock for murder. The best thing about this issue was the ques
t appearances of Daniel Rand (Immortal Iron Fist) and Carlos LaMuerto (Black Tarantula). Two different scenes are drawn where we see the amazing combative styles of both these characters. With this second issue, I really get a better for the feel of the character Lady Bullseye. As mentioned on a previous show, I had my doubts about a "Lady Bullseye" . I love the character Bullseye, but I didn't think another character with the same name and skill set was needed. Brubaker shows why he writes and I read. Lady Bullseye has fully earned respect from me as a great villain and I can't wait to see her plans unfold. With issue #112, I continue to believe that Brubaker and Lark are creating one of the greatest comics in the Marvel Universe. Daredevil continues to be one of the most depressing superheroes in all of comics but not the most depressing comic of the week. That's gotta go to my boys over at DC. Superman, I'm sorry for your loss.
