dmstarz's Daredevil #2 - The Evil Menace of Electro! review

Daredevil 2

After a very fine first issue, things change completely with an extremely bonkers storyline involving the FF and Electro.  The idea of Electro trying to steal Mr Fantastic's secrets is fine.  However, having defeated Daredevil, his notion of deciding to launch the hero into space is one of the most bizarre ever.  In this issue, DD not only flies a space rocket, but also rides a horse and hitches a lift on a helicopter.  Had someone bet Stan Lee to include as many disparate modes of transport as possible into one issue?  Joe Orlando does the artwork on this issue and I have to say that I didn't enjoy his art as much as Bill Everett, though his big splash page of DD hanging on to a helicopter (page 16) was very nice.

Meanwhile, 60s lady watch.  In this issue, Karen continues to pine over Matt.  We learn that she has a picture of Matt in her drawer and is most disturbed when Matt ignores her calling to him in the street.  Most peculiar of all is Sue Storm thinking about getting a hairdo like Karen's, perhaps highlighting how gorgeous the secretary is.

A very odd story.

And similar to what we've seen with Stan Lee's portrayal of magnetism whenever Mag...

   The cover looks kind of ridiculous. Fitting considering what goes on inside.  In this story the Thing comes into the offices of Nelson and Murdoch to hire them as lawyers.  They then leave and as the Baxter Building is empty, Electro  takes advantage of this time to try and steal some of Reed Richards designs.   Matt Murdoch however has decided to check on the FF to see if he will take them as clients and ends up batteling Electro. This is where the story just flies off the rails.  Even in Sp...
