Comic book: Daredevil No. 30
There are a lot of new things going on for the main cast of Daredevil. Matt Murdock was offered a deal that would get him out of jail but all he has to do was pass on information. He passed on that opportunity and both Foggy and Kirsten McDuffie were shocked and upset by his decision.
Meanwhile, Elektra is training a new sidekick named Alice. The idea is to help her get over the death of her mother (see Daredevil No. 27). During her training, however, she kills someone. That death shows Elektra that the Hand is in Hell’s Kitchen.
Also, we have Wilson Fisk, who was enjoying a romantic dinner with Typhoid Mary. The next day, however, he’s given the news that Bullseye is back and not under his control.
Why is this important?
You can see the writing on the wall. Daredevil (Matt) is going to take the deal and get out of prison. Detective Cole North’s words will make him stop being so stubborn. Once he’s out, he can then help Elektra take out the Hand. It will be a smooth transition – one of the reasons to always trust Chip Zdarsky writing.
Wilson Fisk has been dealing with Bullseye for years. How has he not figured out that Bullseye can’t be controlled or contained? Fisk is going to regret thinking that he can experiment on him. The cover for the next issue shows Bullseye with a Daredevil in each hand. Don’t be shocked if his first stop is to see Mayor Wilson Fisk and not either Daredevil.
