Matt Murdock: Daredevil Appreciation 2021

[Nanashi]

What happened in the newest issue of DD? Anyone got spoilers?

spoilers:

To put it succinctly, after a confrontation with Cole, Matt escapes prison to head to Manhattan to stop Bullseye where Elektra and Typhoid Mary are set to fight him together.

Thanks! It’s appreciated.

Of course, but how up there is he.
I mean tier 1 would be Iron Fist, Shang Chi, etc.
Tier 2:- Black Panther and Cap, wolverine
Tier 3 is where I think Matt is at.The very top of it.Maybe Wolverine is here since he doesn't use his MA most of the time

Just FYI all these are tier 1 MA, this is a tier list within the tier list

I would personally put him at the very least tier 2, no lower.

Too bad Cap and Iron Man aren’t in the MCU anymore.

You are so right. Man I miss Tony.

I agree. The originals are the best.

I finished reading DD #34. Not bad. A lot happens but you get the feeling that nothing happens. The big showdowns will probably occur in the last two issues. Kind of guessed spoilers:

Mary and Elektra would do a team-up against the Bullseyes. The latter haven't a chance what with the real DD on the way also. The ladies would wipe the floor with them anyway with or without Matt. I was kind of hoping Matt was faking the chemical poisoning when fighting North. He did give him the evidence, however, so he was partly trying to do what was right. Interesting how Kirsten touched his face and the worry she felt. Does she feel something for him and remember anything? Time will tell.

Decent art by Stefano Landini, trying to mimic Checchetto.

[Raffi Ol D'Arcy]

A most enjoyable issue throughout and Landini does very well on art as expected. I’m actually pleased some storylines may be ending to set up Dark Reign which I can’t deny I’m excited for. And I’m wondering if final fight set up at the end of the issue will conclude before help arrives assuming it’s even necessary? And is Daredevil now wanted given how he escaped? I imagine his will his deal with the FBI will sort that out. I liked the confrontation to start the issue as well as the scene in the car, the latter of which shows there is still a connection there that’s been shown in previous issues even though they’re relationship isn’t what it was for various reasons. Mary’s attire was a strange choice but I suppose it was to lure the Bullseyes? In any case, I liked the issue quite well.

Yeah, I thought Mary's top was strange. You could be right regarding luring Bullseye.

An homage to one of my favourite Daredevil covers of all time:

The new funko pop is also clearly modeled on Checchetto’s design and, more specifically, the cover to issue 21.

Apparently this will have a “glimpse at what’s to come next year, including new developments for…Daredevil”

I thought the dialogue in that scene heavily implied that was the case.

Out of curiosity, as I've been out of the loop for a while... When/how did Bullseye become a threat again? Last I saw him he was paralyzed and blinded... Think I missed something O.o

Kingpin has employed "specialists" at Ravencroft to experiment on him and create clones. This all came apparent in recent issues as the clones broke free. Fisk has no control of them.

I thought the dialogue in that scene heavily implied that was the case.

My takeaway from that was that Mary wanted to also take him down BUT you're probably right as Elektra thought/said that Mary was drawing him out.

[Raffi Ol D'Arcy]

cool. I'm liking elektra a lot recently, definitely getting this.how's the creative team?

Charles Soule, Declan Shalvey & Leonardo Romero (w)
Leonardo Romero & more! (a)
cover by John Romita jr.

I'm interested, in particular as Soule is involved.

Definitely has the tassles/ribbons/tapes which are more for effect.
