I know I haven't posted for a good long while (more on that some other time), but with the news that Daredevil has officially been renewed for a third season, I was given a perfect reason to break my hiatus. Below are my thoughts on this and the other Defenders-related news to come out over the last few days. Let's look at Daredevil first, even though we can safely assume that this will take the longest to reach the small screen. When Netflix says "coming soon," I think they probably meant to … [Read More]

Thoughts on Daredevil #7
On the day that Daredevil #8 comes out, I thought it was high time I got to the previous issue, which came out two weeks ago. The fact that I didn't actually get around to reading Daredevil #7 - one week after picking it up at my comic book store - should speak volumes about my current state of "Daredevil depression." Here's the thing though, I … [Read More]
Brief thoughts on Daredevil #6
So, I'm admittedly still in a bit of a Daredevil funk (see my previous post). Which is fine. I'll get over it, and I'm just going to ride it out. With Daredevil #7 coming out tomorrow, I still wanted to put together my thoughts on this month's issue. I'm not going to call this a review. Reviews should ideally be well thought out, and address all … [Read More]
Review: “Kinbaku” – Daredevil season 2, episode #5
Life has been a whirlwind over the last month. Mostly good, just crazy busy. And... that's about eighty percent of the reason it's taken me this long to get this up. I also have to admit that I've been putting this off. This post was mostly ready to go two weeks ago, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it, even when I could have made time for it. … [Read More]
Defenders developments
Hey gang! Sorry for getting completely sucked into work over the last week or so. Well, last weekend was actually spent babysitting my nephew on Saturday and co-hosting a Daredevil season two marathon on Sunday, so it wasn't all work. ;) Anyway, before getting back to my single issue reviews (I'll begin work on episode five later today, so it … [Read More]
Review: “Penny and Dime” – Daredevil season 2, episode #4
This is the episode where the Punisher reaches peak badass, Karen goes full Ben Urich and Daredevil gets a new mask. He also very cleverly conveniently talks Brett out of arresting him by pitching it as a favor to Brett. Well played, Murdock! More on that and much more below. Recap In a follow-up scene to the massacre we witnessed in the first … [Read More]
Review of Daredevil #5
Taking a break from writing my review of the fourth episode of the Netflix show to attend to the comic book it's based on. With all the attention surround the live action version, one might be forgiven for forgetting that we do also get a monthly comic. Mild spoilers below! With this issue, Charles Soule, Ron Garney and colorist Matt Milla finish … [Read More]
Review: “New York’s Finest” – Daredevil season 2, episode #3
Yup, this is the episode that sees Daredevil and the Punisher engage in ideological battle on a roof top, and then spends its tail end playing glorious homage to the hallway scene from season one. Because of the structure of this episode, which relies heavily on people talking to (or at) each other, the details of which would be incredibly boring … [Read More]
