    I Like Ox


       SUMMARY
    Ox is still in prison, but he meets a scientist named Dr. Karl Stragg who promises Ox, if he helps Stragg to escape, the scientist will find a way to make Ox smart.  Instead when the two get to the scientists lab, Stragg switches minds with Ox putting his genius into Ox's body. 
     Unbeknownst to Daredevil who is expecting to fight a stupid Ox, he know has to face a genius with Super Strength. 
    COVER 
    In my opinion this is one of Daredevils all time Classic covers.  Ox looking menacing, standing over a fallen Daredevil. Something about it just clicked. 
    ART 
     Aside from an awkward looking Daredevil ( check out his arm and shoulder ) swinging toward us in the splash page, the art is smooth. Each character is given a very distinct look. 
      STORY 
    Every scientist has a way of performing a mind exchange don't they?  Seriously, this is a breath of fresh air compared to last issue.  That is a backhanded compliment, but in all honesty this ends up being a really good story, with a bit of redemption for a super villain at the end. 
      VERDICT : One of the best DD stories to date, I really liked this book.
