HAHAHAHA. That's why you got tagged, bro.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Has anyone listened to the Days of Future Past audio drama? Is it any good? I heard they're doing one for the new Ms Marvel too, and I need to know if I should anticipate or dread it.
(The X-men one is the comics version, not the movie.)

Friends of Bergen Street Comics:
After six amazing years Amy and I regret to announce that we will be closing the shop next month.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, no, Tom! Not, obviously, that I know that shop at all, but the loss of any brick-and-mortar bookstore is a sorrow. At least it sounds like they have plans for some kind of ongoing existence as a press if not a physical store?
On a completely other Other Media topic... I just finished S1 of Daredevil and loved it rather a lot despite having zero previous knowledge of the character or his world. So what of the considerable amount of written and drawn Daredevil should I be seeking out (or are there any storylines/writers I need to avoid) between now and whenever S2 happens to get fully caught up on the history and texture of his life and Hell's Kitchen and where it all falls in the bigger Marvel 'verse?

You're lucky in that Daredevil has probably had more great story arcs by more great writer/artist teams than any other character in the MCU.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh no! I love Bergen Street Comics! Made extra special by the memory of hanging there with Scola!

The show takes most of its cues from the Miller run and the Bendis/Maleev run. The Brubaker/Lark run is pretty good too and includes a volume co-written with your pal Greg Rucka.
You will want to read the Miller run before S2 because Elektra.
