So, after hearing all the gushing about how great this book has been since the BND reboot I put it back on my list. I've been pretty happy about it so far, Last ep was really good, this one not so much. This one was pretty average. Plain. Enh, okay, I'll say it: boring. It just felt flat. And wrong.

The encounter with Matt Murdock didn't feel right. See, Peter needs a costume since his roommate is wearing his (unwillingly). No spare, apparently. So, Pete webs up a ski mask and calls up Matt for one. Riiiight. And after some "Hey Matt, it's Spider-man," "No, I don't think so" phone chatter, Hornhead gives him a spare DD costume. And he just happens to have one with eyeholes. Guess it's the Danny Rand model. But wait, Danny's DD was never seen with his eyeballs showing, was he? And why couldn't Matt recognize Spidey's voice on the phone? Doesn't he have super hearing? I mean, apparently he just talked to him within the last day, since Spidey had to have given him the info on the lawsuit, which Matt is helping with, which Pete just learned of yesterday.

Oh, and Vermin shows up.

Oh, and Pete/Daredevil just walks into a police station to report his missing roommate. And they help him.

Oh, and the police apparently know the faux Spider-man has been captured by someone, and where he's being held. But they're not going there to follow up, despite him being a suspected serial killer and all.

And Kraven's daughter or whatever she is is bragging about having Spider-man all chained up in her lair. While trying to score MGH.

Ah, heck with it. I'm changing the story score to a 1. (And I like Guggenheim. I'm not slagging him, it just wasn't his A game.)

The art felt like Jimenez phoned it in, too. Not his usual high quality. Average at best.

PS. I will say the Devil-man lyrics were funny. "The man sans fear." Heh. I'll keep the story at a two for that.
