The Kree civilization is so ancient they got their asses kicked by dinosaurs way back when. Or maybe THEY are the ones who made the dinosaurs go extinct?

Hell, one of the old legends has it that Drunken Monkey Boxing was invented when a master was meditating and watched monkeys stumble about after eating naturally fermented fruit that has fallen from a tree.



Plus, the Hyborean Age has been an actual part of Marvel History since at least the 80s so there's plenty of advanced Stone Age era civilizations running around.

Unlike DNA, alcohol is a really simple set of molecules and can be produced without any kind of living organisms. It predates bacteria.

But before living organisms, alcohol couldn't have been drunk! Millions of years where ethanol was simply sloshing about, not being imbibed. Lack of foresight from that molecule, imho.

Shame he didn't get to drop Bullseye off a roof at the end, though. That guy sucks.

Honestly, anyone who regularly gives Spider-Man problems shouldn't be that easy for Daredevil to deal with, though I'll accept the "choking him half to death" thing because that's absolutely something Daredevil would do when Spider-Man wouldn't.

I only have excellent ideas
I'm glad that sequence got posted because I've been a little unclear on it since Wednesday. Am I missing something from this sequence of events?:

1) DD grabs a knife from Crossbones' pouch
2) He snaps the blade off by cracking it against a car
3) He shoves the hilt down Rhyno's throat to make him pass out
4) He runs back over before Rhyno suffers brain-damage to... coax it out using his billy club?

I'm really only unclear now on the last step (what's he doing with his club?) but the rest did take me a few tries. I like the sequence a lot though-- it's a good demonstration of DD juggling a lot of opponents and controlling the field in a way where it really does feel like he's a few steps ahead of not only his enemies but also the reader.

along the way he deflects some bullets that Bullseye fired and redirects them to hit Crossbones. also I'm OK with him having to use a pry bar to get a hard object out of super tough guy's throat.

e: also he helpfully marks the knife for the reader before he grabs it, so while I missed that the first time, that's 100% on me, not the artist.

I think he's using the club to pry/prop open Rhyno's mouth so he can reach in with the other hand to yank the knife out

Pretty sure he used Bullseye's second shot to break the knife blade off. Bullseye fires twice, after all.

Yeah in retrospect I agree with this, he wouldn't ignore that bullet and the knife movement doesn't make a lot of sense otherwise.

does anyone here have any interest in figuring out how much force would be generated by a 180-220 pound man launching a choke with a nigh-unbreakable cord at someone who is charging him that probably weighs between 800 pounds and a ton and a half and is moving between 40-50 mph?
