Brian Michael Bendis is a talented writer, and his work on this series has been top notch material, but frankly I find myself wishing that he would tighten up his plots a bit, as if I was a more jaded reader I would strongly suspect that the reason why most of his continued stories play out over six-seven issues is that this is the standard number of issues that most trade paperbacks collect. Now normally I'd let his rather leisurely pace slip by unnoticed, as normally he sees fit to include one, or two dialogue exchanges that prove to be quite engaging, but this issue Brian Michael Bendis delivers an issue that felt like it was almost fighting the urge to offer up even the slightest hint of forward motion, and the rather uninspired tussle with Mr. Hyde didn't help matters much either. Pay no heed to the rather engaging looking cover either, as Spider-Man & Daredevil are only together for a couple pages, and their dialogue exchange is completely inconsequential. Read Full Review
