Alright going to do a double shot. Daredevil 58 and 59. Just glad to get them out of the way. Not that Daredevil is all that bad but I have no use for him outside of the Facebook Avengers game. And onto the show.


Daredevil 58

"Spin-out on Fifth Avenue"

Writer Roy Thomas, Artist Gene Colan, Inker Syd Shores

Ok our little tale starts with the summation of a trial for a guy who is a mobster. He has done bad things and should be in jail, at least that is what Matt Murdock thinks so it must be so. Flashback a few days earlier and he shows his face to Karen she faints (he must be one ugly sucker). He takes her back to the Page House and tells her that he faked his death and the appearance of his twin brother to find a blackmailer. (but he did not tell her he killed him.) He tells his origin and she is happy, the hug.....awww lovery stuff. He then travels back to New York as Matt and is a hit in the papers. Foggy has a press conference for him and in the middle he anounces Matt is on his team. The blind dude agrees and all are happy. Hell he even asks Karen to marry him pledging to stop being Daredevil (does that even work? I mean how many times...) They are having a big rally and as he gets to tell everyone he quits some loon in a souped up motorcycle comes down the street. This guy is awesome. Somehow he made jets to make it fly and have cool gadgets. He wants to be rich, imagine if he sold it to Harley. But he get beaten falling out of the sky with the bike landing on his chest with what I believe are his dying words he says some man named Crime Wave (lame name) was paying him a grand to cause problems and was going away. Daredevil changes his mind and doesn't give up his costume and Karen walks away. Cut to the end and they won the case and bad guy goes to jail and Karen says nothing to him.


Daredevil 59 (the last in the run)

"Torpedo will get you if you don't watch out" (friggin long title_

Writer Roy Thomas, Artist Gene Colan, Inker Syd Shores

Ok DD is going through town and he stops at a convience store (maybe he needs polish for his white cane, I know that was wrong) and comes upon these two guys robbing it. He beats them up but the owner refuses to press charges. It seems as if this is happening all over the place. The DA is concerned and babbles about it when Matt shows up, Karen ignores him. They hear the tale of Willie Lincoln. Apparently he is a blind cop (no I am not making that up) and he was out looking for clues and came to a club. He could sense it was a bad place and walked to the back. he leaned on a wall and fell down a chute that would be in a fun house down to the lair of Crime Wave. He said he was blind and they tested him with bright lights. He passed so he was let go. he thens goes to Foggy who thinks he can use the testomony of a blind man to catch a crimnal named Crime Wave as an eye witness. WTF???? How the hell? You know Roy Thomas is a good write I think that when he gets a hold of a crappy character like DD his brain went fuzzy. Anyhow they put him in protective custody by putting him a run down hotel which DD will stake out. This guy named Torpedo is hiding in the closet and uses his gas spray to knock out the cops and the witness. (Did I tell you how Willie reminds me of a black Matt Murdock?) DD crashes through the window and they fight. DD is so tough that he can break a 4 by 4 with his feet and a guys head without hurting himself. The bad guy is not phased and shoots his cool pistol thingy. DD jumps out the window he came and Torpedo runs up to the roof. Willie hears the villain monologue and follows. Turns out Torpedo has a razor had like Odd Job and tries to kill dd with it. It cuts through a flagpole and then flies back to Torpedo, but don't worry he has special gloves to catch so he doesn't hurt his hands. DD lands on the edge of the building with his hands and Torpedo stamps on him. Just as our hero is about to fall Willie runs up and tackles Torpedo who falls to his death, Dd saves Willie from certain death. DD then swears that "Judgement Day's A-Comin" for Crime Wave.

This is kind of crazy but 3 or 4 villains die in a course of one year. I have read and reviewed a few and Mr Fear, Stuntmaster Death's Head and Torpedo all have died. If you want to live don't fight DD cause it is bad luck.
