Here Comes Daredevil Again!

After loving the Bendis/Maleev run on Daredevil, I continued on to see what Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark had in store.

The first story arc was awesome and made great use of the situation Bendis had dropped Matt in at the end of his run. The second story arc was not as awesome, although I was amused that the blurb's description of "swashbuckling ( Read more... )

I completely agree with your sentiments about the Brubaker run. I thought it started out incredibly, but some of the middle arcs didn't live up to the expectations I had after that. However, he sure ended with a bang, and I feel like he made a pretty significant contribution overall.

I'm excited to see what Andy Diggle has in store; I like what I've seen so far! #501 comes out tomorrow, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get my hands on it till later this week.

Matt has friends and co-workers that need to be happy and not die.

HA SO TRUE. I think what Daredevil lacks in awesome villains, he makes up for in awesome allies. But it's not like he even needs a big sparkling Rogue's Gallery like Batman or Spider-Man, anyway - he's all about the small-scale, personal conflicts. And uh, KINGPIN is worth three or four standard villains!

Yay!! Let's be friends.

Exactly! I mean, way to shake up the status fucking quo.

I have his first issue downloaded, and I'll check it out before reading #501 this week. Exciting! We can talk about it and be DD buddies!

He has regular friends and superfriends!

I just read his first issue this morning! Iiiiinteresting. I do love Bullseye as well. I wonder how far Matt will go.

Have you seen Angel? Because this is basically like season five.

Gah! Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to snag it after work.

And you're quite right: this is a lot like Angel S5. I've actually been doing a (very slow) rewatch of S2 lately...

I just read it! OMG. IS IZO REALLY DEAD? Somehow I can't bring myself to believe it. D:

spectralbovine October 9 2009, 19:43:11 UTC

Ack!! I haven't read #501 yet! I confused you before; I meant the Dark Reign issue! Izo better not be dead! He's lived way too long!

equustel October 9 2009, 20:59:31 UTC

OH CRAP I AM SO SORRY. I now feel like a horrible person. WELL, this makes sense because I finished the issue wondering why you didn't FLIP OUT at this shiz like I did! D: D:

You'll see what I mean. There's more to it than just Izo. :X

spectralbovine October 10 2009, 02:03:13 UTC

WHAT THE SHIT? There have got be some shenanigans going on here.

I am liking the new team so far. I'm afraid for Matt, though!
