Review/plot:
Matt Murdock is reeling because Karen Page has given up waiting around for him.

She thinks he won't ask her out because he's blind but he thinks he's doing it because he doesn't want to expose her to the dangers in the life of Daredevil (as if she hasn't been kidnapped every third issue of Daredevil already). Then he gets exposed to some radiation, which makes him crazy. He seeks out Captain America, who is performing an exhibition match for charity, and attacks him.

In the end the effects of the radiation wear off and DD runs away.

I'm pretty sure one of the photographers at the fight is meant to be Peter Parker but you don't see a clear view of his face and it's really not important.

I love how Peter Parker, or whoever he is, appears delighted that Captain America and Daredevil are plunging to their deaths. The illustration makes that "Uh oh!" look totally sarcastic.
