She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Episode 8

  • 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

/ / Comics

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.

Daredevil #2

/ / Comics

In an issue that continues to put off Daredevil‘s battle with the Hand for at least another issue, Daredevil #2 (which Marvel Comics is also marketing as Daredevil #650 had it not rebooted the hero every few years) deals with Robert Goldman and the fallout from his recent actions. The idea of a villain, or anti-hero, working behind-the-scenes to pull a hero’s puppet strings for his own purposes would have more impact if it hadn’t been done so often in comics (see Moon Knight‘s recent arc). Goldy doesn’t see himself as a villain and believes his actions, such as crashing a subway, are all in Daredevil’s best interests.

The Variants #2

/ / Comics

There’s quite a lot happening all at once to Jessica Jones. Some old lingering programing from the Purple Man has resurfaced threating everyone around her, variants of Jessica from around the Multiverse have begun appearing (although since Jessica is in no mood to talk with them, it’s not clear what they are after), she’s a little too happy to see Matt Murdock is still alive, and an old friend is attempting to recruit her into a new super-team.

Daredevil #1

/ / Comics

Matt Murdock is dead to the world as Daredevil (who no one remembers is Matt Murdock) and Elektra prepare to leave New York and take their fight to the Hand. Before leaving the city, however, Daredevil spends one final night fighting crime with Spider-Man and tying up various loose ends. There’s not as much Daredevil/Spidey interaction as I would have liked here (especially between two men who have made deals with devils to hide their secret identities), but the pairing still works.
