if you're in the states I believe NOA repairs it for free 🤷♂️
Every good run in capecomics is a chance to quit reading so you don't have to see the next writer fucking up the story you liked.
But we're in too deep to do this
I hate it when writers punctuate their runs by putting all their cool ideas back into the toybox.
I'm more into the ongoing soap opera and intertwining of disparate plot points, but I get the feeling that kind of writing is no longer in vogue for cape comics and it's all about the Legendary Star Writer's omnibus run.
Oh, huh. I might have to look into that. Its not a serious problem yet, but ive noticed it happen a few times.
My body is ready!less than 48 hours until I'm reading Sins Past 2: Sin Harder
I remember in i think Daredevil that superhero battles costs trillions of dollars
The book ends with Deadpool erasing the entire run from his memory so all the character development is gone so he can go back to typical lol random Deadpool shenanigans in time for the movie and Deadpool purposely cut off the supporting cast Duggan made so the next book can ignore and Deadpool doesn't remember them so he will never acknowledge him
Why do i read comics when i also hate them lol
I get it happens for new readers sake and sometimes it's great when shitty runs can be ignored but its annoying when it happens to good runs
You should see me when Duggan Deadpool run ended and how pissed i was

The only time I liked it was when Kid Loki's scheming caught up with him and he was forced to die and let the original Loki steal his body.
Then Al Ewing wrote a follow up series casting Loki as an anti-hero struggling against their preconceived roles that they only escape by redefining the terms of their own existence: They're the God of Stories.
Then nobody followed up on that I guess. Still need to read Kibblesmith's Loki.
The daughter kinda comes back for the Young run but nothing yet for the Thompson run.
Kibblesmith run is about the whole stories Loki even met basically embodiments of story and continuity
I didn't read the Young past first couple of issues it was too much memepool from what i remembered
putting the toys back in the toy box sucks, but it's also probably a good thing that writers have an opportunity to close things out their own way rather than just seeing the next writer set everything on fire, awkwardly starting their own run
fun related fact: Spencer actually got Slott's approval to use the plagiarism scandal that destroyed the remains of Parker Industries and kicked him out of the DB. it's in one of the news articles (WaPo?) that was posted after #1 was released.
of course none of this is valid for Daredevil, where writers deliberately put their successors in difficult positions lol.

I don't like it because it feels like a way for writers to make these characters their own and Leave Their Mark instead of contributing to a grand universe of interconnected stories.
I think the lines are a bit excessive but it's not that bad.
I do wish we could have had Joelle's costume for longer though. It's very nice looking when she draws Selina, same for Jimenez.
I remember i think Chip Zdarsky making a joke on Twitter that he's going to have Matt go on mars or something dumb like that just so he can see the next writer trying to fix that lol

Brubaker run might as well be combined with Bendis when doing an omnibus
Jones is a great artist obviously but her Catwoman design never worked for me. The last thing a thief wants is random holes in their costume that shows white skin against dark material. Cooke's Catwoman should be the template everyone else works from.
Soule run ended with Matt being in a coma after being the mayor for 10 minutes
Him still not fully recovering is why the plot in chip run happens
So yeah
Past good, present ugly. Might as well have got Rocafort to do the present suit if you wanted weird lines and spikes. Least it would have looked better.
Soule used Daredevil's greatest enemy (a truck) and left him almost dead in a hospital bed but Marvel released a mini detailing his rehab so by the time Chip got it, he was almost back to normal, just with less finesse
I really hate when they start drawing excess lines on superhero costumes.
It almost always makes them look worse. Cough Flash Cough.
The outfit they show there isn't as good as the animated series design.
Most cats aren't even grey and the ones that are are usually the worst ( sorry to anyone with a grey cat ).
A good excuse to post my cat Bella.

I feel like the last arc of Soule's run was essentially "nothing I write here will matter, Daredevil will always go back to the Miller status quo, this is the tragedy of being Matt Murdock."
I apologize to the thread for my uneducated opinion about grey cats. You have provided evidence that they are indeed good boys and girls.A good excuse to post my cat Bella.

It felt like "I won't be able to write the happy ending i want due to the nature of superhero comics so at least I'll do this"

If anyone's looking for a good short non-cape graphic novel that will make you cry, I recommend Al Davison's The Spiral Cage (1990).
Kelly and Lanzing are relaunching the Harbinger series for Valiant. I'm curious to see what they do with Josh Dysart's stuff. It would be really tricky to continue after Imperium and the Rise and Fall of Harada. I'd probably ignore everything after the last series and hope people aren't too pissy about it. At least the Robbi Rodriguez art will be sweet.

TMNT: The Last Ronin retailer variant:
Also, apparently they put Taskmaster #1 on MU today lol. Its still not out in stores. Probably forgot to delay it on the app too.
$8.99 lol. Still sounds like a really cool TMNT story.

Finished the Joe Kelly Daredevil run and it turned out better than expected. Kelly definitely introduced a bit of edginess compared to Kesel, but it was only overbearing in the Deadpool/Daredevil 97 annual where he rewrote Typhoid Mary's origin. The build-up with the Triple Threat murderer, Mister Fear, and Page's trial in 375 was all a solid read. A bit rushed, but still some good tension.
If there's a bad aspect to it, it's that Kelly made Daredevil the least interesting part of his own series again, much like how I felt about the post-Frank Miller stuff. DD/MM is a dick again that largely creates bad situations for the people around him -- the people who look up to him as a hero but who DD/MM treats pretty poorly. He's kissing other women, talking down to Foggy, and generally just avoiding being a meaningful part of any of the people he cares about's lives. But it's a 90s action comic, so no one bats an eye.
The last bit of this Epic Collection, the last bit of Vol. 1 of Daredevil, is written by Lobdell. I'm not at all sure what to expect, as all the plot threads have been wrapped up. Maybe a bit of setup for Vol. 2 from Smith? I'm excited to get back to omnibuses.

Sometimes you change a character so much they're basically unrecognizable from what people know them for. Putting the toys back into the toy box is a good move there because it allows the next creator to do their own take on the character.
