Official DD Thread

[The Bruce]

Frank Miller established the pained and tormented Matt and that's what I like about him, His suffering. He's like Spider-man for grown ups. Frank did it with out revealing his identity to the public. My hope is they maintain the Daredevil we have come to love. With out it he's more or less a Spidey lite.

 

[The Bruce]

What's the best way to get the Miller run in collected format?

 

[Drz]

Daredevil Visionaires volumes 1-3 collect Miller's run. Then you got "Daredevil: Born Again" and "Daredevil: The Man Withouth Fear".

Man Withouth Fear is DD's origin with John Romita Jr's art and it's awesome! Born Again is pretyt much All-Star Batman for Daredevil. Daredevil goes IS AT THE BRINK of insanity in this story, but ofcourse he is well "born again" . Don't let the all-star Batman comparison scare ya, hes not eating rats or training little boys into crime fighters.

I also have Loeb's Daredevil Yellow which i'd like to recommend. Tim Sale's art and Loeb's inner monologue is a good combonation for the story.

PS. Is DD: Lone Stranger a good story? I think it's about Daredevil being haunted by Mephisto.

 

[Nightwing 52]

****'s going to get real.

 

[mre]

Crazy. Cool cover.

Was anyone else annoyed in the recent issue of Shadowland where the Hand is fighting the Avengers and after they escape from DD's castle, DD states that the Avengers killed a bunch of the Hand?
Since when do heroes kill?

 

[random_havoc]

Well this is new, they're not even waiting til they've killed the character before they announce his resurrection.

Sure, it may not be a literal death and resurrection they're doing this time, but still, announcing his triumphant return before he's even gone? Way to kill even the illusion of drama there Marvel. Nice.

 

[JewishHobbit]

You know, sometimes I just wish Marvel would let a story or event play out BEFORE building up it's aftermath or what comes next. Just let the story flow.

 

[runawayboulder]

Isn't this reborn DD not supposed to be Matt Murdock....?

 

[Harlekin]

Crazy. Cool cover.

The Avengers haven't been very squeamish about killing since the beginning of the decade. Also, Hand ninjas are supernatural zombie things anyway. Everybody kills them.

Elektra mini/on-going?!

Marvel Comics has released the following teaser image featuring Elektra walking away from a body, accompanied by the tagline "Assassin for Hire" and a "Coming in December" timeframe of release. No further information was given.

Daredevil becomes Black Panther: The Man Without Fear with issue #513

 

[Scarecrow_King]

who drew that Elektra teaser?

 

[JewishHobbit]

I recognize the style but am having trouble placing it. I want to say Tom Rainey or whatever his last name is (I last saw him doing Secret Invasion: Inhumans but know him best from Mutant X and Outsiders.)

 

[Scarecrow_King]

The only reason I know who Raney is is from some Ultimate X-Men stuff he did. back when that book was good. could be him. Also looks a bit like Salvador Larroca to me. and he did the Ultimate Daredevil/Elektra stuff, so it wouldn't be a huge stretch for him to do Elektra.

I could think of 500 other folks in front of[BLACKOUT] Black Panther[/BLACKOUT] they could have used. I was kinda hoping for Black Tarantula, but he's dead.

At least they're keeping the numbering.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

and whoops, I just saw a signature on the right hand side running parallel to her arm. I've never heard of the guy.

Call me crazy but i actually think this is kind of a good idea, the only thing is....whats going to happen to Matt? I dont necessarily wanna read a DD book without Matt in it.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Huh, interesting. It sounds like this is another Incredible Hercules thing where the title and character is changing entirely... basically a new comic... but with the old numbering of a previous title. If it still ties in with whatever Daredevil is doing then I'll continue with it, but if it doesn't and is basically just another [blackout]Black Panther ongoing [/blackout] then I'll drop it and wait for the Daredevil mini to show up in January.

 

[Dark Victory]

No matter how ****ing cool that cover is, I'm still apprehensive at to where this reborn stuff is going. Daredevil's been pretty great since Bendis's run, so I really hope this change pays off. If not, **** it, redhead'll be back in tights within a year or so.

 

[E-Man]

I absolutely love both Black Panther and Daredevil. In fact, those two in addition to Captain America, JSA, and The Walking Dead are the only titles I buy monthly. With that being said, I think it is a really stupid idea to make Black Panther the new Man Without Fear. So T'Challa once again leaves his kingdom to go play hero in New York? What's worse is that this time the country really is in shambles because apparently Maberry made Wakanda so reliant on vibranium that they can even flush the toilet without having it coated in vibranium.

Unless there is some huge, looming threat to Wakanda in Hell's Kitchen, this makes T'Challa look like a jackass. He leaves his home and people in the worst state they have ever been to be a hero in Daredevil's playland? So Hell's Kitchen is more important to T'Challa right now instead of his own damn kingdom? It's **** like this that cripples Marvel creatively. No wonder why new heroes can't get a chance to grow on fans. Everyone knows that what happens in New York is all that matters, so nobody gives a rat's ass when World War III is happening over the other side of the world unless Wolverine shows up and eats a cheeseburger.

And it's obvious that Matt is going to once again be Daredevil. I'm not feeling the reborn direction because Daredevil hasn't needed gimmicks like that in years.

 

[Nightwing 52]

...Wow. I mean really, wow. I guess I'm not too surprised given the teasers we got, and I did say a few pages back I think we'd be getting BP as the new MWF. But at the same time I thought it was just to throw us off and we'd be getting someone like Falcon. The only real question now is what's the connection for Hell's Kitchen and T'Challa? I really hope this is explained, especially with what's going on with Wakanda.

A lot of questions here, but I'll be giving this a chance.

Also have you guys seen the vid from G4? It's got some art which looks pretty good and T'Challa in what kind of looks like a new suit.

Link here.

Interesting to note that if you pause it at 1:11 there's a newspaper hung up that reads "Black Panther Still Missing!" "Presumed Dead!!!" and then it pans to the left with T'Challa walking away from them under an umbrella looking down.

So what do you all think of Shadowland? I havent picked up any of the comics because I missed the first two and figured it would be more convenient to read the entire run in TPB. Is it living up to the hype so far?

 

[runawayboulder]

I've enjoyed it. The recent issue of DD stalled the story a bit. I've been avoiding all of the mini's.

 

[mre]

I've only been reading Shadowland and DD. The DD issues are stronger than the Shadowland issues.
DD 510 was pretty good.
Overall though, I think this is a subpar Daredevil story.
