Daredevil/Bullseye: The Target

A native New Yorker, Daredevil sits above The Pile in Manhattan reflecting resilient spirit of the citizens. He makes note of the fact that they will never forget, but they will learn to live on. He reflects on his own life, from his birth to his gaining powers to, most importantly, the death of Karen Page. After laying flowers on her grave. He foils a bank robbery by The Owl in a particularly harsh fashion, explaining that the robber is receiving the rage he wants to direct at Karen's killer: Bullseye. The memories of the murder still fresh in his mind, Daredevil destroys a punching bag with a photo of Bullseye on it.

The story then cuts to the penthouse apartment of a rich, middle-aged man named "Roger" who is in the middle of a business arrangement with two Middle Eastern men. Roger emphasizes the fact that, as "an American through and through," he abhors doing business with the two. "I love this city. I despise you people for what you did to it." The duo's country is never named and the epithets thrown at them are most likely just broad racial generalizations. However, as a professional he is willing to assist them for the right price: in this case connecting them with an assassin.

Hoping they will reconsider their mission, Roger directs the men's attention to the telescope in his living room. It is focused on a young woman breast-feeding her baby. Roger does not know the woman personally, but has been watching her apartment for over a year: she would often have a different man in her apartment every night, up until a year ago when she "started growing a belly". She has been raising the child on her own, which Roger finds touching. There's a knock on the door. Roger opens it to the assassin the men want to hire: Bullseye. (Without his usual costume, his clothes and features resemble those of his Colin Farrell likeness from the movie.)

Roger pours him a martini with an olive. Bullseye tells the two men he will kill anyone for the right price. One of them hands him a photograph (which we do not see) of someone of such importance that the assassin is taken aback. He demands $20 million for the job (10 up front, 10 upon completion). The men are intrigued, but want proof that Bullseye is as cold-blooded as he claims: they want him to kill the single mother Roger has been watching, much to Roger's horror. Without hesitation, takes the toothpick from his cocktail olive, bends it between his fingers, and flicks it through the woman's window with the speed and force of a bullet. A heart-broken Roger looks through the telescope to see the woman's body on the floor and the baby crying.

One of the men arranges to have the money delivered. The other asks Bullseye why he is not wearing his trademark costume. Bullseye explains that he gave it up as his line of work requires he draw as little attention to himself as possible. But, to humour the man, he dips his finger in his cocktail and draws a wet bullseye on his forehead.
