Daredevil series discussion (spoilers)

Maybe it's just me.....but is anyone else bored by Brubaker's DD?

Yes, and i'm not sure why... I have the last three issues and i still haven't read them, and it happened with the three before that, and when I read those, I realized that it was good, but it just wasn't getting me excited like it used to.

I think I'm going to try getting the rest of his run in trades, see if that's better.
 
Loved this issue, i love how bru made Mr.Fear into such a badass.

Also, he writes Hood better than Bendis does.

Surely others have read DD's week, because the arc has unexpected conclusion.

There is no cure, that's why Larry killed the chemist working for him. Milla is pretty well doomed to stay insane for the rest of her life.

VERY interesting.

I haven't read it yet. I'm a couple issues behind, actually. I'll have to make sure to catch up this weekend.

I wonder how long Milla will stay bat *** crazy.

Ben becoming Jonah was a nice touch.

Yes.

Although I really don't care for the art at all. Lark isn't off the book is he? That would be terrible. Look at the scene where Matt sneaks up behind Foggy in his house...it just doesn't fit. That's not what Daredevil looks like.

Well, the guy that they had doing the art on this issue was inking (I think. Possibly assisting on Pencils too) the last issue. I think he's just doing a one of to give Lark a break and strech himself.

I just got caught up from issue 99 on last night. Except for 101. I can't find it locally. I missed my DD fix so much. Mr. Fear was a hell of a lot better a villain than I was expecting him to be.

The Annual was excellent too. I'd like to see Andy Parks get some more writing jobs. As long as he doesn't stop inking Phil Hester (another Writer Artist who doesn't do nearly enough writing). Is Parks on the Tarantula one shot coming out this week? If so I'll need it pick it up.
 
So I'm re-reading Brubaker's run right now and I'm pretty happy at how he's beefed up DD's supporting cast. Before Bru took over it was pretty much Foggy, Mila and whoever was trying to kill them this week. With guest appearances by Luke Cage. Now we've got Dakota North, Becky Blakes back, Turk's on the street again, Foggy, Crazy Mila, The Tarantula, and guest appearances by Luke Cage.

Oh, and the Bru/Rucka issue this week was good. :D

I agree with you.

And some Ben Ulrich in the new issue.
 
I'm rereading Bendis's run via the Bendis DD Omnibus and I had forgotten how brilliant it is. It's unbelievable that this is the same writer as Mighty Avengers and Ultimate Origins.

His first arc with "Timmy" killing his dad Leapfrog and it turning him catatonic was incredible. Mack's art sets the mod perfectly.

The second arc where Silke "kills" Kingpin and leaks Daredevil's ID to the police is equally brilliant and set up the entire run amazingly.

It's so good. Better even than Alias, and that's one of the best things I've ever read.

Honestly, books like Bendis's Daredevil are why I can be so hard on some writers. They're clearly capable of amazing things. They just shouldn't take every assignment that they can.
 
I consider Bendis' Daredevil and Alias to be companion pieces... When going back to re-read, I usually go over both of them... And then i wish they had both continued forever.

Also: Why aren't they turning Brubaker's run into Hardcovers? I LOVE my DD and Punisher Hardcovers... And now i have to continue with DD in TPB? Lame.

Oh I imagine once this Lady Bullseye arc wraps, they'll make an omnibus or something

Well, from the looks of things Lady Bullseye is going to be stage two of Brubakers DD, so I wouldn't be surprised to see what we've gotten so far as a V1 Omnibus, not unlike how his Captain America only covers up to his death.
 
I just finished #110 and while it was good, the arc as a whole didn't really grab me like Bru's first few arcs. Ah well.

Brubaker's first two arcs were excellent. I felt the Mr. Fear arc went on way too long. I thought the recent arc was a return to form, probably because Rucka was helping. I'm scared about Lady Bullseye though.

Yeah...bad flashbacks to Lady Doctor Octopus or whatever she was called. Brubakers a trillion times better than that crap but still...the principle...
