Skwirl posted:There's not really a good couple of panels or even pages to sum it all up, but Bendis' whole Daredevil arc with him being publicly outed is really good and deals with secret identities in a way that I don't think any other comic has really done before or since. It starts in Daredevil Vol 2. #26 if you want to read it, but I do absolutely love the cover of issue #32 Bendis outing Daredevil is kind of the big one for me, because he's not just a regular guy -- as an attorney, he has ethical considerations to follow. That was a huge, character-redefining moment, and it had ramifications through Brubaker, Waid, and Soule's Daredevil runs that followed. I hyped this last summer, but if anyone is interested, I wrote a law review article about legal issues in Daredevil comics, with lots of analysis of Matt Murdock's outing, his repeated (lying) denials, the comeuppance he received, how Soule eventually solved the entire problem, and all the legal ramifications involved. It's long, and way more boring than the comics themselves, but here's the link, just in case: https://www.capitallawreview.org/ar...-legal-practice

Skwirl posted:I honestly think Bendis' Daredevil is the best run on the character ever, better than Born Again or the rest of Frank Miller's stuff. Might be the best street level Marvel book ever, at least post Silver age. Bendis' run as a whole easily beats Miller's original late '70s/early '80s run, which was hugely influential, but I don't think it has aged well. That said, I don't think there's a single story arc in Bendis' run that stands alone as perfectly and unforgettably as "Born Again." Even the "Out" story arc blends into everything else that follows, which isn't a bad thing, but "Born Again" is maybe my favorite Marvel story arc (as opposed to a writer's full run) ever.
