Daredevil: The Thread Without Fear

It's stupid to say you could give her a more fitting name when you know nothing about the character
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
And their darling children, Gregory and Phillipa.
I admit I rolled my eyes a little when I first heard the Lady Bullseye concept, but the name is growing on me. My only concern is that under some great recent writing (Brubaker included), Bullseye has become such an impossible caliber of villain to live up to. How can anyone have a name that refers to Bullseye and not be lame in comparison?
Still, getting to like the name and I love Brubaker's villains, so happy to wait until I read the story for myself.
Bullseye still has more than his share of standout awesome moments. The scene in 'The Devil: Inside and Out' where he's getting wheeled into prison is a particular favourite of mine.
Plus its Brubaker. It will be good.

If you didn't read the one-shot issue "Blood of the Tarantula" you should try to get your hands on it. It was great.
Also my god who is Clay Mann and what else has he drawn.
Was this the Daredevil Annual? Because yeah, that was really good.
Dakota's a hottie.
Ah! Well, the Annual was good, too.
She immediately killed a guy with a key once she got out. How is that cliche?
Stick's on the cover of December's issue. And the interview with Bru about the arc was pretty interesting about how deep it's going to go into what The Hand actually is.
Indeed. (NSFW)
Cropped from a full-page scan on S_D.
Edit: Yeah. My bad.
And I suppose cliche wasn't the right word for Lady Bullseye. I mean, being inspired by a person and taking their name or gimmick is more like a tradition than anything else.
I might as well complain about people getting their powers through science accidents, or something.

yeah, i remember thinking he was straight up dead when i first read that arc. there's basically nothing in it to indicate he isn't, and he has a damn close encounter with bullseye, which is generally a death sentence anyway.
man that first arc is fucking good.
I think this is probably the most interesting thing I've read in a very very long time.

What comic is this? And is it any good?
The basic gist of the story was, Loki was pissed for accidentally starting the Avengers, gathered a group of villains and all of them switched up nemeses.
Doom got Daredevil, and to show up Kingpin, he hired ULTRON to take him out.
Though the best is Magneto getting Captain America, and just torturing Red Skull for being a Nazi.
As for quality, I fucking loved Acts of Vengeance and how ridiculous it was.
One thing Brubaker does really well is develop his supporting cast. I love it when Black Tarantula shows up in Daredevil. He's a really interesting and complex character. Also, as we saw this issue, he's a badass and laid the smack down on some Hand ninjas.
"And this is his sofa, is it?" said Arthur.
I think I'm a Daredevil addict now.
GT: batshido Hit me up on ME3.
He's seriously one of the most under rated heroes ever. The problem is that he isn't powerful enough to go up against the super huge enemies so a lot of people tend to ignore him.
I think it was Brubaker who said that Murdock is the living embodiment of Catholic guilt. A lot of crap has been heaped upon him, but he also brings a lot of this crap onto himself, and he knows it. And he still goes out and does his thing anyway, which by comparison to a normal person is insane.
The guilt thing only works when someone has a good understanding of Catholicism. It's one thing to just throw guilt in there on top of other stupid things the individual does, another to add that extra layer where it's not really your fault but you feel guilty anyway. I think that's why Smith's story worked so well, because he's a pretty strong catholic and could write from experience. Matt was brought to his lowest point for completely petty reasons by Mysterio, but was still able to realize he can enjoy life between the beat downs. His "confession" with Spider-Man was some great characterization.
Bendis steered clear of it really, save for right when his identity was revealed and that Daredevil support group arc (so good).
Brubaker really doesn't add much to Milla during his run, uses her as a plot device, then tries to build sympathy for Milla because she's now crazy and that leaves Matt with no options and tries to push some religion on it too. Matt then does something stupid like sleeping with Dakota, but if his wife isn't a good enough character to even have people remember how to spell her name right, do you even care? (And just go to Dr. Strange and remove the toxin from her, he did it before).
It wasn't so much she is a plot device (as every character is really) but that there is no depth to Milla, so I don't really care about her. Bendis didn't even do a good job with her really, outside of the one year later jump he did.
And I may be simplifying the Mr. Fear arc because I can't remember what happened for the life of me. And I read the book every month (quite during the Rucka arc, came back for Lady Bullseye). Those issues plus Brubaker's Uncanny issues have been the weakest I've read from him.
