Tedesco always kills it on these covers. So awesome.

[gohei_]

32 pages huh? Interesting.

By the way, looking at those pages from issue 4, I have no memory whatsoever of him storing his civilian clothes inside his hood, that's different lol.

That cover! Wow!!!!

That cover! Wow!!!!

He's always on point. His covers were the best part of the NOW! Thunderbolts run. There are many more things that make this run good, but he's the perfect person for cover art.

I just started reading the Frank Miller companion omnibus and I just finished the "Badlands" issue (#219). Wow. Such a good story and I love how Matt doesn't even speak a word throughout the whole issue.

Just finished reading Born Again for the first time. I can't say anything other than I loved it.

Question about Bendis' run, it's still worth reading if I know a few key events like spoilers:

the identity outing, Matt being kingpin and going to jail,

end of spoilersright? I'm trying to get into the "it's the journey that matters" mindset and to stop worrying so much about spoilers.

Absolutely! Reading Bendis' Daredevil is a must for any Daredevil fan. Of course, going in, it's nice to be surprised but I don't think it will detract from your reading . It's a very interesting read and deemed the best Daredevil run by many. Also, I'm sure there will be other surprises along the way for you. If you are able, definitely read Kevin Smith's and David Mack's and Joe Quesada's run beforehand (Daredevil #1-15) very important to Daredevil's history.

I'm not a huge fan of Bendis's run, but I don't think knowing the broad strokes spoils anything and it builds to Brubaker's run, which is one of my favorites. So I would definitely recommend reading it.

I enjoyed Bendis's run, but I am in the same camp with Mike, in that Brubaker's run is my absolute favorite DD run.
