Joe Fisto posted:What's gay food? In that sentence gay and food are both modifying comics. Series like She Loves To Eat, She Loves To Cook, What Did You Eat Yesterday?, Cheri My Destiny, Confessions of a Shy Baker, etc. you know, gay food comics. And Marvel has nothing to compete in that arena.

Jiro posted:That was a really REALLY good issue, where not much really happens and yet there's this sort of tension around the whole dinner, most of it emanating from Peter and Harry. I wouldn't say it had those vibes but it's hard not to think something along those lines when that particular double date happens and it brings to mind the old Romita days when they'd all go out together and ended in the pairings that it did. I liked the dinner conversation a lot. One of them did end up being self-conscious about it but I liked that the rich couple were well portrayed as these overbearing Type A personalities who don't have a filter because they never need one.

Frank Miller's Daredevil and the Ends of Heroism This was one of the first books I ever got several years ago now which delves into analyzing a work of fiction and its author. I thought it was extremely interesting and insightful for Miller not just on DD, but Batman and Punisher. I would highly recommend it. But anyway, I was reminded of it while in my current X-Men and Wolverine reading. Specifically, all the discussions of idealism vs. pragmatism:  Combined with a couple really good Wolverine/Spiderman discussions from 2009 I was just reading... NikkolasKing posted:That is a funny thing about Comic Wolverine: it's entirely fair to define his character as a brooding loner and also as a loving mentor. There's no contradiction there for him. I am wondering what Logan's and Matt's relationship is and if they've ever had any interesting talks like this? NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 12:44 on Apr 28, 2024 |

Matt is a Lawyer and heavily believes in the Law. He views Daredeviling as a supplement to it.

 Went in search of DD/Wolverine stuff, and was told about this. But now I'm intrigued because not so long ago in this very thread you all were discussing how many of the comic greats worked on DD and turned out the best stuff of their career. Miller, Bendis, Brubaker, and more. But this? This was done by Dennis O'Neil, who as far as I know, is another comic great. And just like Frank Miller, is known for having revolutionized Batman. But his work on DD was totally unknown to me until this.

Some of O'Neil's stuff aged very badly and while there is some good stuff in there a lot of it was just O'Neil making sure there was a monthly Daredevil book on the stands (which is in itself fine). It has its fans but I'm not sure his DD run is ever ranked with either O'Neil's best or Daredevil's best.

Yeah, in terms of underrated writers on Daredevil, there's Ann Nocenti, and, frankly, at this point I'd argue Mark Waid.

Waid's run was so good and not just because Chris Samnee was firing on all cylinders.

Oh it's fantastic, but I think it's been treated as kind of an outlier to the extent that it doesn't come up when people recommend Daredevil runs, plus Waid's gotten a reputation like guys like Nicieza now where he's seen as solid, but not spectacular, when I don't think I've read an outright bad comic by him (and I know someone's gonna say Champions, but I enjoyed that run).

For what it's worth I enjoyed Waid's Champions more on a re-read. Honestly the most painful thing was Jim Zub accidentally breaking the book by trying to have all the young supers in it.

I saw Nocenti on all "the Essential Reading" recs I found on Reddit at least. It's why I was confused about reading nothing about O'Neil. The only name which came up a lot there and I didn't see here was Jeph Loeb. Lots of recommendations for his Daredevil Yellow. Speaking of which, though, DD does look like a very convenient character to read. You just start in his solo title and follow it straight on through with maybe an occasional mini. But really you just read Daredevil issue afte r Daredevil issue. Compared to trying to keep up with modern X-Men, or even just looking at Wolverine stuff, it be a wonderfully simple task. Although my impression is Claremont's Uncanny was like this? You just read the one book and it gave you all you really needed on the characters, there was no need to jump around.

For a long time a lot of O'Neil's stuff wasn't collected, which is less of an issue now with Marvel Unlimited. Nocenti's run is absolutely more worth your time than O'Neil's run. And yeah, comics used to be much more self-contained.

Nocenti has her hiccups, but a lot of good JRJR art and Matt vs Mephisto help make the run a close second in the history of Daredevil v1.

Had a dream last night that I got furious with Tony Stark because he started advertising Avengers stuff in-universe with ai generated images. He probably would too. 'TONY did you pay Ultron for the ad artwork instead of real people?' 'Ssshhhhh Vision's right here, also Ultron would get it done cheaper!'

I read USM 1 and whilst it was novel, I thought Parker came across as self-absorbed. Core concepts in the wider setting we’ve seen before.
