Daredevil

[trempnvt]

I need more people on my friends list who read comic books. Does anyone secretly read them or want to start?

I just got into Daredevil (volume 2), and I can't think of any comic book I've ever liked better.

Marvel editor in chief has told us in so many different ways that Marvel is all about white men and we really shouldn't expect them to do well by minorities and women. Because they apparently don't read comics. Sigh. Also, a woman complained about sexism in some comic, and he was all, "If you think we're sexist, why do you read?" *headdesk* There's been a lot of stuff in recent years, and I'm just a bit wary of Marvel these days.

Have you seen girl-wonder.org? They usually keep a track of gender fail in comics and the comics industry.

I couldn't get into early "Birds of Prey" either. I started reading from when Gail Simone started writing. I'll upload those for you?

Generally, DC doesn't work for me, but the Batverse is interesting and closer to the Marvel heroic formula, so I read that from time to time. I'll upload some Barbara Gordon stuff, too, as she's awesome. For Huntress, you have to get her awesome from "Birds of Prey" and then go back and appreciate her backstory, which is one of the darkest and the most unrelenting ones I've found in fiction.

I think Bendis is generally compared to Joss Whedon, no? But yeah, his recent stuff is kind of crappy. I should probably go back and finish reading his Avengers run as I was shipping Spider-woman/Captain America for some reason.

Tzippy, since you're fond of "Alias," I should try converting you to the "The Inside" one of these days.

Also! Are you on AIM or some other kind of messenger these days?
