Finally i finished Daredevil Ultimate Collection by Bendis vol1 And man that was some sweet pulp story telling. The first 4 issues by David Mack we're highly intriquing! Every page and panel had something to look out for with the splendid details. Then the story with Kingpin's death and the crime lords was very intriquing. Kingpin's wife seemed quite the badass, and yeah the identity reveal was nicely handled and is probably a running theme thruouth Bendis' run. I think September will have volume 2 out. :) The White Tiger case was really cool with the dialogue exchange.
 
Yeah, Bendis's run was just phenominal. I bought the first Ultimate Collection hardback around 5 or so years ago on a whim and it turned me into a Daredevil fan overnight. It's been a slow build to get up to date but now that I finally am (as of two issues ago) I am gung ho ready for what comes.

And in regards to a previous conversation... the theatrical movie wasn't bad, but the Director's Cut is still one of my favorite comic book movies to date. I got rid of it once due to money issues and really want to pick it back up again.
 
Honestly, ALOT of people give the DD movie crap just because Ben Afleck played him, but you know what? He actually played the part well in my book. I thought for the most part actually everybody was well-cast, yes even Colin Farril as Bulleseye. The worst part about the movie was all the Elektra segments. Jennifer Garner was horrible as Elektra and she really brought the movie down i think. Also, i wasnt too gung-ho on the costume. Granted its really hard to translate an all red costume to the big screen but still. he looked silly to me. But in general the movie wasnt nearly as bad as people make it to be.
 
Oh I thought Afleck and Ferril were phenominal. I though Afleck did great in the theatrical but his performance was better in the Director's cut.

As for Garner I thought she did fine. The only people who complain about Elektra are comic fans who know the character. She did great for the script she was given. The only problem with her was perhaps casting, as she wasn't quite Elektra, but for what it was, she did great.
 
The director's cut is far superior to the theatrical cut.I only kept the the original cut dvd because of the documentary on the Daredevil comics.Also Bendis's Daredevil was great and it's a shame he hasn't maintained the same level quality since he left the title.
 
She was too soft and too "damsel in distress"-y. Elektra is a badass, hard edged ninja, and i didnt get any of that from Garner's performance. Her costume wasnt that great either. And let's not even mention the Elektra spinoff movie. My god Fox, what were you thinking???
 
So...is the Punisher back to normal now? Or does this somehow take place before he becomes Frankenstein?

That's what many of us have been wondering. I think it may be after he changes back; he's not hiding from HAMMER, hunted by Osbrone , etc. I believe in a few months Frank will be normal in his own book again, I forgot what issue the whole thing ends in.
 
Shadowland #1 was a good start, and very Bullseye's perspective. I like how new-friendly this was, even tho i know everything that i had to know, the first page info was cool.

Art was pretty good, maybe it could be alittle bit better, but it did it's job right.
 
Unless this is a red-herring, Marvel really screwed up on telegraphing [BLACKOUT]bulleseye's death[/BLACKOUT] in all the freakin previews and stuff. This whole issue felt like it was dependent on that one moment and it had no shock because we all knew this months ago. I dunno how i feel about this, again maybe maybe its a red-herring just like[BLACKOUT] Master Izo's "death" , but i was really hoping there'd be more emotional depth to this.[/BLACKOUT] This is a bold move for DD, i hope Diggle knows what he's doing.
 
Black Tarantula! Loving the art.

I read IGN gave the issue #1 a 4.5...Which is pretty harsh IMO. I mean I thought it was a good start just not that great but also not that bad. My only pet peeve is that they showed us the end of the issue through a teaser before the issue even hit stands. Still looking forward to where the story's gonna go though.
 
I can't believe how underrated Daredevil is. He's the greatest character in comics. He WAS the Dark Knight before Batman got reworked. He needs way more love in other media. A late night animated series ala what Todd McFarlane did with Spawn. The Detective vision in the Batman game is essentially DD's radar sense.

He needs games, movies and TV series.

There’s so much untapped potential in Daredevil
 
Agreed, I was hoping that DD would get a massive media push around the time the movie was announced, but...well, sadly things weren't as amazing as we all would have hoped and thus DD didn't get that surge in popularity.
 
Just read both Shadowland #1 and Daredevil #508 and enjoyed both.However as stated before it would have been a lot better had Marvel not basically ruined the cliffhanger.Seeing how horrified Luke and Danny's faces were when they saw what Matt did and seeing Foggy trying to pin what happened on Fisk was kinda heartbreaking.It shows Matt is almost completely over the edge and completely over his head.The entrance of a certain character at the end of #508 and who bought that character in should be interesting.
 
#508 Spoilers:

#508 seems to imply pretty heavily that Matt's possessed or being controlled somehow, which is what I've assumed since the start. Outright killing Bullseye and imprisoning a bunch of crooked cops in deplorable conditions seemed too excessive for Matt, mental breakdown or not. Not that Matt didn't come close to killing Lester before, but he was still upset over Elektra at the time. This was almost non-provoked by comparison.

Plus, you've got Elektra two issues ago telling Matt in an apparent dream that, "It's inside you." Add some of the stuff Diggle stated in interviews leading up to the event, such as pointing out no inner-monologues for Matt, and together with Matt's disposition in this issue, I think it's safe to say someone else is pulling his strings.

Anyway, awesome issue. Glad to see Foggy and Dakota again, and the Detective Kurtz subplot looks to be an intriguing one. Plus, Elektra and art by De La Torre. Issue had it all, really.
 
#508 was indeed awesome, and this small-event is getting builded up nicely! :D
 
Hmm, its funny i never considered the fact that Matt was [BLACKOUT]being mind-controlled[/BLACKOUT] or something. That would make a lot of sense. Its apparent that the Hand is trying to manipulate him in some way and use him for some greater cause.
 
This. Was. Awesome. The art and story was superb here - definitely one of the best buys purchased this week. For me atleast. Can't wait for Shadowland #2 and beyond!
 
I shoulda known Diggle knew what he was doing. DD being under mind control makes perfect sense and it seems like the Hand is bringing out the "Beast" in Matt Murdock. I LOVE where this is going.
 
Have faith in Diggle folks, they guy is AWESOME. Read his Hellblazer run, it was the best stuff I've read since Ennis.

NO book has seamlessly transitioned like this one has over the years. I wonder if White Tiger has been a mole for The Hand from the start since Matt was the one that got her to quit the FBI and become the White Tiger.
