I don't necessarily go looking for every last potential spoiler or piece of set footage, especially the more obscure stuff. I will, however, discuss information that been covered by the major comic book news sites. If even this is too much information for you, you may want to stay away from this post. If, on the other hand, you are someone who does go looking for every last nugget of information available, please think twice about sharing that in the comments. Everything that's been covered by at least 2-3 news site is fair game, as far as I'm concerned, but please err on the side of caution. It was really hard to come up with a snappy title for this post that wasn't a total mouthful. And, as you can tell, I pretty much failed at it. … [Read more...]
Recommended stand-alone issues of Daredevil
For my first proper countdown post – as we await the release of all thirteen episodes of Daredevil on April 10 – I wanted to take a look at some of my favorite stand-alone issues of Daredevil. Not all of these are perfectly self-contained, of course, but they stand well enough on their own that you don't need to know much going in, and you get a full story with each issue. The issues I chose for this list also meet the criteria of being reasonably friendly to new readers and at least minimally relevant to the Netflix series. That last bit would really only exclude stand-alone issues like Daredevil #92 (vol 2) which is told from the perspective of Milla Donovan and deals with her and Matt's relationship. It wouldn't make my list anyway, … [Read more...]
Merry (Daredevil) Christmas!
Hello all! Since it's Christmas, I'll keep this post nice and short, but I still wanted to take the time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope you're all having a great holiday! If you don't celebrate Christmas, then Happy Wednesday! (Of course, there are no comics today in most places, so if you take Christmas out of the equation, I guess it's a worse than average Wednesday.) Oh, well. ;) If you want to get a little spice of Daredevil to go with the treats, I recommend rereading Daredevil #7 (2011), by Mark Waid and Paolo Rivera, which sees Matt Murdock fight the elements after he and a group of blind children find themselves stranded after a bus crash, just before Christmas. That issue gets off to a nice enough start, however, … [Read more...]
Daredevil at the Eisner and Harvey Awards
I hope you're all doing well! I've been mostly "away from keyboard" for the week, busy helping my mother pack up her things for a big move. I will, however, be glued to my computer screen for the Superior Spider-Man panel at Comic Con International in San Diego which will get under way in less than an hour. The panel will also cover Daredevil, and Chris Samnee will be on it so if there is any Daredevil news to report, you can read about it on the Facebook page. Or possibly in a separate post tomorrow. ;) In the meantime, I thought we'd just look at Daredevil's award nominations heading into the Eisner Awards as the winners will be announced tomorrow night. As you might recall, Daredevil did really well last year with six nominations and … [Read more...]
And the mastermind is…
Obviously, I don't know any more about who the mastermind is than anyone else. But based on the discussion in the comment section of my Daredevil #24 revisited post, I think I'm ready to call it. I know, I know. I said in the follow-up post to Daredevil #25 that the most recent issue didn't make me any wiser as far as the big secret villain was concerned, but that was because I hadn't done my homework yet. After I decided to explore that lead from last month in light of Daredevil #25, it seems pretty convincing. If you don't want to know where I'm going with this (and I may be dead wrong), don't continue reading past the image below. I hereby nominate... Death-Stalker! First of all, credit where credit is due. While this set-up smells … [Read more...]
