It’s been 11 episodes, and there have been a few lives taken in the Kingpin’s consolidation of power over Hell’s Kitchen. But this is the first time that one of the good guys has had the power in their hands to take a life--and taken it. (No, I’m not counting Stick as one of the good guys. If there’s ever been someone who is chaotic neutral to a tee, it’s that old fucker).

Review: Daredevil 1.7 - Stick

“Stick” is a tough episode for me for a couple reasons. On the one hand, Stick is a character that I have never gotten; from Man Without Fear through to his and the Hand’s involvement in Brubaker’s run, he’s never clicked for me.

Review: Daredevil 1.6 - Condemned

So I’m going to preface my review with this trivia nugget: Daredevil is the comic book that made me want to write comics for a living, so, to paraphrase Daniel Plainview, when I say I’m a Daredevil guy, you’ll know that I’m telling the truth. I’m gonna try and shut that off as much as possible during these reviews, but if you see some foam on your computer screen, that’s just me and my unbridled excitement.

MoCCa Arts Festival 2015 Recap

Review: Ei8ht #3

With issue 3 of Ei8ht this week, we’re approaching and the immediately over the hump of the midway point of the series (supposedly--I haven’t been able to find anything concrete or official saying it’s 5 issues, but that’s the number I’m hearing tossed around).
