Matt asks to have a large robot described to him, in Daredevil #5

A world of touch and motion

I'm going to state right off the bat that, as I'm sitting down to write this, I don't have a proper title yet for this post. Which is rare for me, since I usually have an idea for the main theme of every post (even when it's not just as straight-forward as "Review of…") and always type in the title before I do anything else. If you're reading this, I obviously must have settled on something eventually, but suffice it to say that things might get a little philosophical – more so than scientific, … [Read More]

Review of Daredevil #6

19 Comments

Since this is a fairly early review and many have not yet read the issue, be warned that there are spoilers ahead! Daredevil #5, which came out earlier this month, was one of my favorite issues of Mark Waid & Co.'s run so far (both volumes included).

Review of Daredevil #5

I left all of my stuff on my desk and it took the full five hours of police negotiations before I was let back in to retrieve it. By the time I got home, it was 11 PM. Where is Daredevil … [Read More]

How Daredevil became Matt Murdock

3 Comments

It's been a while since I've had the time to write a longer "essay" type of post, but there have been a couple of ideas brewing in the back of my mind for a while. One struck me while I was going through older – Silver and Bronze Age – issues of Daredevil and has to do with the gradual process of Daredevil and Matt Murdock becoming "one," and the … [Read More]

Daredevil’s inner demons

3 Comments

Hey gang! I've had some trouble posting over the last couple of days. Sunday evening, my dear friend Mr. MacBook decided that he'd had it with me, and shut down for good. I took the little bugger into the Apple store yesterday, but considering its relatively advanced age of six (or was it seven?) years and the fact that any kind of "exploratory … [Read More]

Sorry to leave you guys with my odd-ball "taxation of the blind" post for a whole week!
