I've been very wary about this crossover and this first issue is doing nothing to make me feel more confident about buying into it.
The more I think about it, the more I find myself agreeing with IGN review. If they had wanted to go for "shocking", they should have had Daredevil go after Bullseye while he was on the helicopter. That sort of pro-active action, provided it had the same end result, would have been much more shocking, I think.
Then again, and this may put me on the shit-list early into my posting career here, I really kind of want to see Matt become more of a villain. Not a Doctor Doom maliciously cackling sort, mind you, but the fallen hero who cannot be redeemed because he has simply gone too far. Early into Diggle's run, that's precisely what it felt like, too. But after the trip to Japan, it seems all to apparent that they are going to give him a well-placed out and everything will be a-okay when all is said and done because "he was manipulated".
