That tiger-guy's been doing the ab work; really seeing the gains.

I had absolutely no idea who was on the cover of this issue; I thought it might have been Tiger-Man from Atlas Comics! Nope, but we've seen this guy before! From 1995, Daredevil #336, "Humanity's Fathom, part four of five" Written by Gregory Wright, pencils by Tom Grindberg, inks by Don Hudson.

We're coming in the middle of this one, but the Devourer has returned, brought back by someone that I think we're supposed to think was the Kingpin but I don't think was. Wait, we've seen the next issue some time back: it's underground Kingpin-lookalike...King. Trying to prove the innocence of two underground-dwellers, Daredevil was mid-fight with the Devourer, Bushwacker, and the Demolisher--the pre-Crisis, er, original, Deathlok! Who has some crazy hair going! He's gotta be a Hair Club for Men customer; Deathlok had basically been a bionic corpse, there's no way he grew that! Well, if it makes him feel good, I guess: the Demolisher doesn't want in on any of this, but ends up zapping the Devourer with a plasma cannon, reducing him to a pile of goo. (Maybe the Devourer didn't possess somebody this time. There was a magic knife involved, so it probably could've been brought back whenever, if somebody had a hankering to.) Bushwacker just leaves mid-fight, partly because too much was going on, but he also had a grievance with his employer. Marvel's "Peacekeeper" appears: again, this was maybe going to be the Golden Age Angel, but the continuity maybe didn't work out. Later, DD has a pretty hacker in her underwear, blackmailed to expose Bushwacker's boss; and Randi visits "Jack Batlin" to flirt: Matt doesn't bite, because he was already unhappy with his con-man identity, and seemed determined not to enjoy himself at all.

Also this issue: a three-page teaser for the D.G. Chichester/Scott McDaniel Elektra mini-series. Which Frank Miller was probably not thrilled about. I think that was a prestige-format title, which I don't think I've read; but the coloring/newsprint didn't seem to be working for it. Also, the short concludes with Elektra kicking the bad guy out of a third-story window, then four cops shoot the guy before he hits the ground!
