    Devils Everywhere

     Devils, Devils! Everywhere Devils. This issue is great DD fun.  DareDevil must use his abilities to locate Bullseye, save the hostages he's holding and save Bullseye from himself. Turns out Bullseye has a brain tumor that  must be excised. The tumor causes headaches that cause Bullseye to have hallucinations where everyone he sees come in the form of his most dreaded and hated foe ,DareDevil ,of course.  The problem is Bullseye has one of these headaches right before he is supposed to get his much needed operation and manages to go on a killing spree in the operating room of the hospital. Bullseye then escapes into the city killing everyone who looks like DD.  Frank Miller tells a great story while paying homage to some film noir heroes of his own. We also get a  short glimpse of Elektra who was introduced the previous issue. This issue has great action from beginning  to end. It has a great moral ending that leaves DD hoping that doing the right thing does not come back to haunt him.  This is a great self contained story that shows Daredevil weaknesses and best attributes. It really displays the Matt Murdock and DareDevil dynamic working together.  Here at the books end DD argues with Lt. Manolis. The argument  ends with DareDevil delivering a speech that defines him as a Hero and Matt Murdock as a Man .
