Ok, the reboot, if it's even happening, is still months away. So let's get focused and see what's going on with the few currents we're still getting.

Elektra #10 - Well what did you THINK would happen? I don't know what W. Haden Blackman had in mind, but for me this arc will be remembered as the time that Bullseye was safely comatose and imprisoned until Elektra dumbly freed him. I still like Del Mundo's art and the plot did have trained attack monkeys, so it's a net positive.

Thanos vs. Hulk #2 - Some interesting stuff going on here. Starlin shows that Kid Annihilus has an adult sized robotic stand-in, which is presumably to help with continuity problems. And he also has Thanos say that the Hulk and Banner have existed as separate personalities for so long that they are effectively two different people with different souls. If i thought anyone still cared, i'd be intrigued to see how that was intended to reconcile with the Peter David idea that Banner and the Hulk are two sides of the same personality. Beyond that, it's relatively classic style storytelling involving the Hulk, Thanos, Annihilus, and Blastaar, so i'm good with this.

Daredevil #12 - Nice twist. It's more mileage than i'd ever expect anyone to get from the Stunt-Master. Waid and Samnee continue to deliver fun Daredevil stories. This is a book that would potentially tempt me to keep going post-reboot, but since the creative team is leaving i don't have to worry about it.

I'm sad that you are quitting post not-a-reboot.

I of course understand that you don't enjoy the current product, and you shouldn't buy what you don't enjoy.

So I guess I'm just sad you that you don't enjoy the current product.

These are not tears. I'm peeling onions that you can't see because of internet.

Don't be sad! I will be freeeeeee!

Elektra: trained assassin monkeys in masks! tiny, tiny, masks!!

but i agree with fnord12. Elektra was totally a chump.

DD: so...now there's a drug that can defeat Daredevil's lie detecting abilities...he'll never be able to win cases against wealthy criminals ever again.
