Daredevil and Cage have a bet about which one can take the other first after Cage misjudges Daredevil’s capabilities. But good old Daredevil thug, Turk is involved in the match as Cage’s trainer. Will he manage to sabotage this friendly fight? This story is set in the past and of course, is full of continuity errors. In the past, Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock’s partner did not know he was Daredevil. Or if he knew, he did not tell the hero he knew. That’s a major mistake. Second, Turk looks way too modern with dreads rather than the good old afro we’ve always known him to sport. There is no point to the story. It’s not even charming or reeking of that good old fake nostalgia story set in the retroactive past that comic book publishers like to publish. The characters in the book look very stiff which is not a great thing when featuring a very acrobatic protagonist.

Rating: 6/10
