I don't know why that is such a thing in comics: here's your favorite heroes! And here they are getting super-murdered. I also don't know why the "Incentive Rahzzah 'Death of X' Variant" went to Daredevil #9, "Blind Man's Bluff, part 2" Written by Charles Soule, art by Goran Sudzuka, color art by Matt Milla. So, what's on the inside?
After Mark Waid's last issue, Soule's new series featured Matt back in New York City, as a city prosecutor, with his identity secret again. How the secret got put back in the box was still a mystery, nine issues in, which seems like a ways to keep that hanging. Even if "Purple Man, somehow" was the odd's-on favorite; so it didn't feel like Soule was punting the reveal down the line to buy time to figure out an answer, unlike some other big Marvel secrets, "Unworthy" Thor. I swear it took a hundred years to answer that one. Badly.
In Macau, Daredevil is midway through a spectacular casino heist, after a couriered attaché case, and now has some back-up: the Amazing, the Spectacular, the Sensational Spider-Man! This was during his Parker Industries phase, so he was at the top of his game, and more than willing to help out "Daredevil, one of my oldest and most trusted colleagues in the super-hero biz? I'd certainly have considered it." Spidey is jokey as usual, but realizes something is off: while he does get DD to ride behind the hydrofoil on the way to Hong Kong, Spidey knows what "a black-costume phase" is like.
When Spidey gets the case, he decides he can't give whatever might be in it to DD without more information, since while he remembers multiple adventures with DD, they were incomplete. Can he still trust DD? Daredevil considers what might be a plausible lie, then bites the bullet and spills the truth...which I thought I scanned but I didn't!
Spidey gives him the case, but it's open to interpretation how he feels about that. Is he fine with it? Pissed? Feelings hurt? Remembering how his secret identity got restored? Tough to say.
