I liked Guardian Devil well enough, but it's not moving me to become a regular reader. There's something about Matt Murdock's pathos that doesn't quite grab me. Or maybe it's his ethos?
Bendis and Mack write him much darker.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Steph, actually, I wasn't until YOU brought it up. So there.
It's just something that went swirly in my head as I bagged and boarded things this weekend and thought not-so-deep thoughts. Then I was trying to figure examples in standard literature or mythology as possible roots, but spaced before I could recall them.

Art Crawl!!!
Teppy surely the two layers of kevlar provided enough of a barrier. It's not like he has super sperm.

I may check out Bendis, then, but I'm actually a bit relieved that I'm not crazy-insane over Daredevil. My batfamily obsession takes a lot of energy to maintain.

Also, money.
I give thanks every week that I'm not really into any of the Marvel titles.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Me, too. Only then I remember about Ultimate Spidey and Fantastic Four. And The Pulse. And then I say "Damn you, Bendis! Damn yoooou!"

To be honest, I'm not overly excited about Daredevil nowadays. I keep reading it cause I do, and it was one of my first, but I feel like it's gotten too psychological for me to really appreciate it, and I've never been a huge fan of Maleev's art. Pulse is good stuff, though.

Well, yeah. But these days I seem to have more money than time, which is... weird, but I'm not complaining.

I'm not obsessed with Ultimate X-Men, but I'm enjoying it. And I've been thinking about picking up Ultimate Fantastic Four.
Frickin' crack.
