AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #271: Years ago, Crusher Hogan wrestled Spider-Man in the ring. Now, he’s pushing a mop in a boxing gym and being terrorized by Manslaughter Marsdale & Madam Fang, and Spidey must save the day. Meanwhile, Aunt May’s love interest Nathan has troubles of his own.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #270: Spider-Man’s battle with Firelord continues to rage its way across the city, and if Spider-Man has any hope of winning, he’s going to have to go big.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #269: Firelord arrives on Earth to sample its limitless delights while he decides his next cosmic destination, but when he’s believed to be a mutant by some paranoid locals, he’s attacked in the streets and Spider-Man has to intervene.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #267: Spider-Man stumbles upon a petty thief making off with some loot and uses a Spidey-Tracer to track him back to the suburbs. But for a city spider, the suburbs pose a whole new set of problems.
DAREDEVIL #184: Matt Murdock is now defending Hogman, the drug-dealer falsely accused of murder, in court, and the Punisher is none too happy about it. He’s even less happy that Hogman is under Daredevil’s protection.
DAREDEVIL #182: Elektra may have died in Matt Murdock’s arms last issue at the hands of his arch-enemy Bullseye, but Murdock still can’t convince himself that she’s gone. He’s chasing ghosts while Kingpin slings drugs and the Punisher busts out of prison, right under his nose.
DAREDEVIL #181: Bullseye has escaped from prison with dreams of vengeance against Daredevil, but first he intends to kill the assassin who replaced him in Kingpin’s organization—Elektra! Elektra, meanwhile, has been ordered to eliminate Foggy Nelson.
I loved the noir-ish feel of this issue, and would 100% read a Ben Urich solo title from Frank Miller in this same vein.
