Beetle could have killed Daredevil in this issue and won, or at the very least unmasked him, as his own henchmen point out. Instead, he does that classic villain thing and messes up his own scheme thoroughly by trying to set up an exhibit at the Montreal Expo to try and make a big spectacle of Daredevil's defeat. It is disappointing, and definitely doesn't feel like this story needed to be two parts. A lot of the charm I felt in #33 is kind of absent from #34 and that makes and incredible difference, but it is present in stuff like how we learn the Beetle's origins in this comic. Gene Colan's art remains great, at least.
