Comic reviews- August 25

Stayed up late last night to catch up on some comics.  I am getting way too far behind.  So here are a handful of impressions: Daredevil #500- First off, I HATE these anniversary comics we have been seeing lately (Hulk, Captain America, Spiderman).  They cost too much when all I want is the main story.  Anyway, that being said, I loved this issue.  Dardevil has been great since it restarted with Kevin Smith...
