		<description>I wanted Milla to stay and go through further development. her introduction by Bendis I found a bit &quot;girlfriend ex-machina&quot;, but once you had Matt married, it would have been good to explore her and not just having her coming and going (I felt Bendis undersused his own creation).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I actually believe that it was Brubaker the one who has given some further depth to her motives, and, as Christine says, also showed the depth of Matt&#039;s love to her (that night visit!)... Still, I don&#039;t think we&#039;ve seen the last of Milla, and I agree that it is unlikely that matt will just go for the next as it happened with, say, Echo after Karen. I&#039;ve got the feeling tat his writing is more organic, and will have Matt outgrowing the situation, in the same way that he made him return to his &quot;normal life&quot;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I mean, Bru didn&#039;t &quot;undo&quot; Matt&#039;s marriage by having Mephisto magically &quot;fixing&quot; the whole thing, or undo Foggy&#039;s death by telling that the dead nelson was actually a skrull... Brubaker writes Dd almost as if it was part of our universe&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And now I definitely think he will make Matt smile again, I mean, Bru has Cyclops smiling!!</description>

		<description>Thanks for your comment! While I&#039;ve said here and elsewhere that I really liked Without Fear, I take issue with the idea that some fans have that if Matt&#039;s back isn&#039;t constantly against the wall, his stories are no good. I can think of few characters that are as versatile as Matt Murdock, and having him constantly doing the mourning and brooding thing is the same thing as typecasting a great actor.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You&#039;re right about Milla&#039;s character never being explored. The same goes for their relationship, and I was hoping that Brubaker could have done something more with that. On the other hand, I think he did a decent job of at least selling Matt&#039;s love for her in the last arc. Whatever happens next, he won&#039;t go looking for love any time soon. The way his life is going, he could certainly do with some &quot;me time.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As for what Brubaker wanted to do with this arc, only he knows, but I think that things will get better from now on. How can they not? And, as someone who always loved the fact that Matt is a lawyer, I look forward to the closer look at his &quot;day job&quot; coming up in the next arc.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re entirely right - constant pain cheapens the pain, and reading this arc has been depressing in itself. Maybe that&#039;s the effect Brubaker wanted, but it&#039;s not much fun to read, and not very interesting, either. I&#039;m glad Milla&#039;s not dead, but nothing was ever really done with her character after her early appearances, despite Bendis&#039;s promises of filling in that year gap. Maybe Brubaker could have done something with Milla&#039;s rather stalker-ish behaviour in earlier issues - have her dump Matt when the superhero lifestyle isn&#039;t all she thought, or, like many stalkers do, realise that the actual human being can&#039;t live up to the object of desire!</description>
