    Overlong and Talky, But 'Daredevil' is Moving in the Right Direction

    No Caption Provided

    In the second part of 'The Organizer' storyline, Daredevil is sure Deborah is a pawn of 'The Organizer', but even the Cat Man, who is now in police custody, can shed no light on The Organizer's actual identity.

    When Deborah draws the line at murder, she becomes a liability to The Orgainzation, and so Daredevil recruits her help to lay a trap for Frog Man. In an ambush outside The Organization's headquarters, Daredevil ambushes Frog Man and switches costumes with him, turning the 'Daredevil' dressed Frog Man over to the police, and using the Frog Man costume's built in camera to collect and broadcast evidence over local TV.
