And re-secreted again, too! After Bendis had him get outed he managed to lie his way into it being a not-so-secret secret where legally no one acknowledges he's Daredevil but everyone kinda knows (see his "I'M NOT DAREDEVIL" shirts). Waid had him out himself again, then move to California where he could still practice law. Post-Secret Wars, Soule gave him back his secret identity again by having the Purple Man's kids (see Waid's run) use a power-augmenting machine to do what they thought was a favor and erase the world's memory of him being DD. Nowadays he basically has Spider-Man's One More Day thing going where everybody knows Daredevil as their superhero friend and knows that Matt Murdock is their lawyer friend but can't put two and two together until Matt tells them and then they remember everything properly. Currently the only people who know his identity are, to my knowledge, Foggy, Spider-Man, and the Netflix Defenders (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist).

Foggy was cancer boy pretty much throughout Waid's run. He beat it though and it's currently in remission! Good for him!

Ah yes. I got my "super poo poo in the 90's but somehow became excellent 20 years later" artists confused.

Epting definitely improves by leaps and bounds but as far as 90s Marvel pencilers go you could do a lot worse! I think a lot of his Avengers issues look great, even permitting some very wonky faces and stiff posing. You can definitely see a lot of potential there imo, especially when he's lucky enough to have Tom Palmer inking.

It's not that complicated. He got outed back in 2001 and it became a secret again in like 2016. Iron Man did that for like 30 loving years on and off again (Iron Man is my bodyguard, no actually I'm Iron Man, no actually it's another bodyguard, no I'm actually Iron Man again).

There is no way Ted is not loving with her. He's just seeing if he can get away with calling Power Girl a hooker.

EDIT: Actually Ted's subconscious is full of sexy women according to the time Dr. Fate tried to unbrainwash him. Knowing about hookers is part of Ted Kord's soul.

I got a bit of spare disposable income and felt like reading some comics. I don't usually read superhero comics but I can usually rely on this thread to recommend really good and really funny ones. (For real, thanks especially for getting me to read Nextwave way back when.)

Anywho, I remember a really good Hawkeye run that used to get panels posted in these threads all the time two or three years ago. It had really snazzy looking non-superhero comic style art. One panel that got posted a lot was of a nude Hawkeye getting censored by a picture of his superhero costumed face drawn in a more traditional style.

What was it called, and who wrote and who drew it?

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Asked and answered, but if you want more good Hawkeye stuff I can recommend the most recent Hawkeye series by Kelly Thompson, it's about the younger, female, and much better Hawkeye Kate Bishop, but it's still excellent. There's going to be a new West Coast Avengers book with both of them again written Kelly Thompson.

Two of my favourite comic sight gags are in recent Hawkeye books. There's the one where Hawkeye (Kate) is hanging out with Hawkeye (Clint) and it's Halloween so she's dressed up as Hawkeye (from MASH).

And there's the one with the two Tracksuit Bros but one of them looks like Charles Bronson (the American actor) and the other looks like Charles Bronson (the English criminal).

The Bro-nson Bros.

The first one is from Deadpool/Hawkeye and it's truly the best thing.

Deadpool/Hawkeye makes fun of the way some Hawkeye pages are paneled but not in a mean-spirited way, more like in a Mel Brooks or Weird Al way. It's not the funniest thing in the world but I enjoyed its good-natured ribbing.



but my favorite gag is Kate using the RPG









Tuxedo Ted
Apr 24, 2007

I'm guessing that's the "much better Hawkeye Kate Bishop" from the Kelly Thompson run I should read.


I'm convinced.

I mean, I know those're from the Deadpool/Hawkeye comics but I'm sure she's even better in her own title.

Maybe I'll get those after I'm done with Matt Fraction Hawkeye. And Kelly Thompson Hawkeye. Plus the Nextwave re-read I got going.



Anywho, thanks for the recommendations, everyone. This thread always delivers.
