Bullseye resembles Hannibal Lecter
Brubaker and Lark continue to amaze in Daredevil 84. When an A-list creator leaves a long running series, usually the team that follows will disappoint in one way or another. I remember when Frank Miller left Daredevil after his first run and Denny O'Neil took over the writing. While O'Neil was a solid scripter, he just couldn't match the same level of excitement that Miller brought to the series. Punisher gets arrested...to help Matt in jail?Brubaker's defied the odds by taking Matt's situation of being in jail and made his situation as bad as it could possibly be. Not only is Foggy dead, Matt's secret identity is blown up for certain, with him beating down thugs left and right. We see in this issue that Matt can escape from prison anytime he wishes to do it-he's staying because the bad guys have a world of hurt coming to them. Think that isn't bad enough? Throw in Bullseye, the Kingpin, and the Punisher into the penitentiary, and you've got the makings of a humongous battle royale coming up. I'm so hyped about Daredevil that I'll even forgive Brubaker for stealing from Silence of the Lambs in the opening scene.

Kingpin's arrival is very interesting. He helped the feds put Matt in jail…is it possible he has a plan to get them both out?

I'm also wondering if Daredevil will play a role in the Civil War event. Matt Murdock seems like a prime example of why you wouldn't want your secret identity exposed or registered. Nuff said.
