COOL COMIC BOOK MOMENTS : DAREDEVIL (pt.2)

Today we look at the fight that led directly from yesterday’s classic Bullseye/Elektra fight.

Enjoy!

After killing Elektra, there’s a great bit where Bullseye appears to figure out that Matt Murdock is Daredevil. However, using weapons to kill people is a bit more Bullseye’s area of expertise and not seeing through ruses, so he easily falls through a decoy set by Murdock to make it appear as though Murdock and Daredevil are in the same place at the same time.

This leads then to their climactic fight, which writer/artist Frank Miller and finishing artist Klaus Janson do beautifully…

What an amazing scene, particularly the train track page.

If I had to pick one “moment,” I guess I’d go with the bit where Murdock accurately predicts that Bullseye will never kill again.

COOL COMIC BOOK MOMENTS : DAREDEVIL (pt. 1)

Frank Miller introduced the assassin Elektra in the pages of Daredevil #168, his first issue as writer/artist. Now, in issue #181, he showed the long-awaited showdown between Elektra and the other notable assassin of the comic, Bullseye.

And wow, Miller and Klaus Janson (who finished Miller’s pencils) did an amazing job depicting one of the coolest fight scenes you’ll see in a comic book, and they shocked many a reader by the fact that only one of the pair lived after this fight…

The “moment” of the fight is likely when Bullseye kills Elektra with her own sai, but boy is there a lot of other great bits, including the amazing range of emotion that Miller gets out of Elektra after she knows she has been killed. The way she wills herself to walk to Matt Murdock’s doorstep - it’s chilling.

Hmmmm…I think tomorrow I will give the aftermath of this fight, from later in this issue!

COOL COMIC BOOK MOMENTS : ADAM STRANGE

Today, we look at the opening of a great Adam Strange mini-series by Andy Diggle and Pascal Ferry.

Enjoy!

To set up the scene, Adam Strange, the man who splits his life between two worlds, Earth and Rann, was eventually spending less time on Earth and was actually on what was meant to be his last journey to Earth in Gotham City when the transportation beam that usually brought him back to Rann (where his wife and child were) did not show up.

Eventually, Superman visits him to tell him that a supernova went off and destroyed Rann completely.

So Adam is quite depressed and things get worse when he is taken in for questioning when his apartment building is destroyed while he was out of the apartment.

He escapes custody and he is met by interstellar bounty hunters - it is here that Andy Diggle demonstrates Adam Strange’s superpower - he has the superpower of being ingenious, and boy do Diggle and Ferry do an awesome job showing Strange’s quick-thinking in an utterly fantastic action sequence leading into a brilliant cliffhanger…

Awesome.
