The Message Board is currently in read-only mode, as the software is now out of date. Several features and pages have been removed. If/When I get time I intend to re-launch the board with updated software.

Now the point in question is: Can the Murdock Papers storyarc by Bendis be considered a POC, just considering that some characters (Elektra, Urich...) in it weren't well "characterized"?


Usually, I would say "no." However, the mischaracterizations were so gross and foul that Civil War and All Star Batman are the only recent comic stories that trump Murdock Papers. Then, throw in the continuity errors. [Usually these don't bug me (e.g. Urich getting stabbed) but the Elektra error was just far, far too much.] Given all this, I would say "yes" for the Murdock Papers. Generally, an arc would not be a "POC" based on some mischaracterization or continuity errors, but in The Murdock Papers, Bendis pulled that off nicely. Hats off. Razz

You mean he nicely pulled off a POC? What a nasty image.
Well, what can I say. To each his own.

Anyway, back to the original topic. Have you seen the latest Ultimate Spider-man cover, in the index page?
Seems like that, not content with repating the "Who is Ronin?" they're also trying the "Who is Ultimate Ronin?", hoping that by repeatedly tryng, they will finally get at least a good one.

Yeah, I saw that. Jaw hit the floor again. Why is Bendis obsessed with this obviously crap character? I think I hear someone jumping the shark.
