    Yeah, I think you're around 18-19 issues behind the current issue, muninn.

    Question: Last issue of Daredevil i have read was a one he fought tombstone... any idea what issue that was, and what trades i need to ghet to catchup on the story?

    That would be part 2 of Devil Inside and Out. Since then there's been Hell to Pay parts 1 and 2, and Cruel and Unusual, which wasn't very important to the ongoing story and you could basically skip it.

    Well yeah sure, it's good, but the guy asked what books he needs to read to catch up with the story and Cruel and Unusual isn't really one of them.

    bale you are absolutely right.

    definitely my favorite arc since he was in jail.
    love the bit when he just smacks down dakota's dad. "it's indecent, sir. a perversion of justice."

    nice, buddy.

    im just wondering why theres such a haterade on Loeb? Sure he's not consistent, but hes given more than his fair share of prized pieces.

    what i dont get is why not as much hate for chuck austen for fucking up all of nightcrawler's origin and basically tying it in so much that its damn near un-retconnable

    The Loeb hatred probably stems from exactly what you're saying; he used to write really good stuff, and now pretty much everything he releases is a complete wreck.

    I was unfamiliar with his work, and came across this. The reviews are humorous. Usually when something sucks at least one jackass likes it.

    The Long Halloween and Dark Victory are both very popular, as was Hush.

    The "color" books are also pretty good. Spider-Man: Blue, Hulk: Gray, Daredevil: Yellow.

    Fallen Son is in my opinion the best thing he's ever done.

    He also created X-Man, who was pretty cool.

    Yes, and you are so right.

    He's still wanted.

    It's not like registered heroes have been going out of their way to bring in the unregistered. They'll meet and then the unregistered heroes go off on their own after an awkward pause. It's happened a bunch of times in the last year across all of Marvel's books.

    Captain America is still unregistered and no one seems to give a shit in his book.

    I have a confession: I'm a Marvel Whore, but a repentant one. I want to spread out to DC or another, smaller company, but I don't know exactly what's good or I'm intimidated by lack of universe history (especially with DC). I've started branching out a little with Y:The last man (loved it and bought all the trades) and have read/enjoyed Watchmen, Batman: the killing joke, and Superman: red sun (or was it son? I misremember).

    To help with any advice here's a small list of my current marvel favs:
    Thor, JMS actually doing justice to a character
    Nova/ Guardians of the Galaxy, Abnett and Lanning are just simply awesome, even with lame SI tie-ins
    Avengers: Initiative, Slott and Gage=good
    Thunderbolts, villain based stories=great
    pretty much anything written by Matt Fraction

    Tony's pretty much gone out of his way single-handedly to keep the U.S. government from siccing the Thunderbolts on the New Avengers.

    So... Spider-man loves Mary Jane. Are they good enough to overcome the fact that they look like something aimed at teenage girls?

    I mean... I know people like them but I'm not sure my tenuous-at-best manishness is up to that big of a kick in the nuts.

    Not yet, they shipped the wrong issue to my store, I'm just going on scans and previews. If its explained in the issue then fine but its still a bit of a what the hell? moment.

    I just got the second Hardcover and spent a large part of Sunday reading it from cover to cover. My masculinity was unaffected. McKeever is apparently doing terrible things at DC, but he wrote the hell out of Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane.
