The word \u201cMapone\u201d continues to drive Ben Urich to dig further in Daredevil\u2019s last days.\u00a0 Who or what is \u201cMapone\u201d and why does no one from Matt\u2019s past know what it means? Well, Ben is determined to find out.\u00a0 In the beginning of issue #4 it seems that Ben\u2019s trail may be hot or cold, depending on how you look at it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben is called to a crime scene.\u00a0 The victim is Bullseye and the crime is murder, or is it a suicide?\u00a0 The victim of this crime isn\u2019t the only thing that draws Ben to the scene.\u00a0 Above the body of Bullseye, is the word \u201cMapone\u201d written in blood.\u00a0 Why does this word keep popping up and what does it have to do with Daredevil?\u00a0 While looking at the crime scene, Ben overhears that a woman dressed in red was seen leaving the building after the sound of gunfire.\u00a0 Ben immediately thinks he may have a clue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben goes to a super hero themed strip joint and looks to talk with an \u201cold friend\u201d.\u00a0 After some words between Ben and a bouncer as well as the establishment\u2019s owner, Ben is granted permission to talk to one of the girls.\u00a0 This girl is visibly shaken by what she saw.\u00a0 Ben is also interested in her attire, she is dressed like Elektra.\u00a0 It turns out Bullseye wanted to party before he checked out of this world.\u00a0 She said she thought she was going to die, especially since he wasn\u2019t making sense.\u00a0 He kept saying he was magic and repeating a word over and over.\u00a0 Can you guess what that word is?\u00a0 You got it, \u201cMapone\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, Ben gets all he can out of the girl and decides to visit someone who may know what \u201cMapone\u201d means.\u00a0 Since Daredevil and Bullseye cannot tell him, why not someone who has history with both men.\u00a0 To talk to this man, he has to travel to Ryker\u2019s Island.\u00a0 Even though Ben is protected from the prisoner in many ways, this prisoner still strikes fear into Ben\u2019s heart.\u00a0 Who is this prisoner you ask?\u00a0 The prisoner is none other than Frank Castle aka the Punisher.\u00a0 As you may imagine, Frank tries to get rid of Ben, but Ben says that magic word, \u201cMapone\u201d and a fire burn\u2019s in Frank\u2019s eyes.\u00a0 Just what does \u201cMapone\u201d mean to the Punisher?\u00a0 We will have to wait for issue #5 to see.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mack and Bendis have done it again.\u00a0 This is truly a literary masterpiece!\u00a0 The word \u201cMapone\u201d will go down in history as the \u201cRosebud\u201d of our generation.\u00a0 Those of us familiar with the film Citizen Kane realize what Rosebud ending up meaning but it is that mystery that makes it stick out decades after it was first whispered on the silver screen.\u00a0 That is the power behind the word \u201cMapone\u201d.\u00a0 It is a mystery and even when we found out what it means, it is that mystery that makes it great!\u00a0 I have been giving past issues from this series a perfect rating of 10 out of 10, but this issue I give a rating of 15 out of 10.\u00a0 This story continues to thrill and it is meant to be read once you pick it up.\u00a0 I am hooked on this book and I cannot wait to see where it goes.<\/strong><\/p>\n
