Matt Murdock: Daredevil Appreciation 2021

[Nanashi]

Fine issue. Fine art. Fine story. Fine action. Fine cameos. Fine ending. The same criticisms I’ve brought up time and again about the run as a whole still apply. But, overall, I liked the issue just fine.

[Raffi Ol D'Arcy]

I quite enjoyed the new issue. Mike Hawthorne's art is slightly growing on me but there's still something I can't put my finger on which I'm not keen on. I'm not sure if it's the inking or the inking and colours together that give it a computery graphicy feel which I don't like. Hawthorne does seem to know how to tell a story through the art, though. A lot going on and the simultaneous double action of Elektra and Daredevil works quite well. I like how the story is moving quite rapidly forward in the jail. I know Hammerhead is heated up but he's an experienced fighter and veteran gangster and shouldn't have been so quickly upstaged by Butch. Fisk's and Mary's relationship still seems a little off. Other than that, #32 is not a bad solid issue.

Which run do you think did this the best?

I mean, my first go-to is Frank Miller - defense of the Gladiator, the PCP killer, Paper Chase, and Revolver all involve Matt's legal career.

I think, recently, Mark Waid did it a little more, but his ghost lawyering was obviously a very different approach. Ed Brubaker did a decent amount with both Fear Itself and Cruel and Unusual.

Although Matt isn’t a lawyer now, I think Zdarsky started off well in focusing on Matt sans the superheroics but unfortunately dropped that entirely with the prison storyline.

Anyone have any guesses as to how Bullseye is pulling off his latest trick?

Lester became Triplicate man . He became a mutate with Multiple Man genes.

The Hand?
I can't think of anything else here

You know, this is possible. They may have acquired a blood sample from Jamie Madrox.

That was my first thought. They are one of the players in this saga.

That's sort of my thought, although it was somewhat abandoned even before the jail story.

Yea. That doesn’t sound implausible. The next question would be how did a crazier than usual Bullseye convince The Hand to cooperate with something like this and so soon after escaping from wherever Fisk had him held?

It’s times like this (which has been a lot of the time recently, I admit) that I really miss and appreciate Waid’s run for staying away from such well worn Daredevil trappings for the most part.

[Nanashi]

Imagine getting Gareth Evans to direct a Daredevil show or movie. The epicness that would ensue!

Hand is working with Fisk or the others fixing Bullseye?
Or maybe Fisk just cloned Bullseye?

I don’t think there’s been any indication of Fisk working with the Hand. Maybe Bullseye made a deal with the Hand since the latter may know Elektra is trying to stop whatever they’re up to now. But if they did why would they agree to come at her as they did instead just as themselves with Bullseye?

There was a 5-issue mini on Ravencroft last year that I didn't read and won't read now haha but maybe Zdarsky is pulling some material from there. Maybe in Ravencroft, Fisk has some cloning tech.
