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.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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.
