On this subject, I personally would love to see some DD stories were he wonders the land, like in Nocenti's Hell arc. However, unlike the Hell arc, I'd like to see a more realistic tone. Think Miller's pre-Born Again one shot. Then, I think the whole out of costume thing would make sense, because Matt could probably blend in better than DD. Razz


Brubaker didn't like Nocenti's run, so I doubt we will see that.

I just want to let Forrest know that this particular message board thread, which I read from beginning to end last week, has brought me back into reading the very comic which I held most dear since I bought my first issue #284 as a teenager. Your compare and contrast statement regarding the previous authors of the book, and excellent description of Bendis' run (which had some moments, but I often describe as a "takedown" and not a "breakdown" of the character) made me hit the comic book shops to catch up on a few years of reading, my previous issue was something in the early 60's. I finished Bendis' run last night and did not love it (those are kind words), more of the same destruction of the essence of Matt/DD that attracted me to the chracter in the first plase. (I have never seen Matt be the victim of everybody else's whims and desires...constantly one step behind everybody else's plans for him - very un-like the Matt of yesteryear).

Anyway, I just put down the first Brubaker issue and within the first two pages I had that excited feel that the ship has taken a turn for the better. This arc has a feeling like it will not completely absolve the past events (as was done when FFG and TOK ended), but that we are going to finally get a break from the "outing" issues and get back to some more serious DD time. And I agree that getting him out of the the city for a prolonged road trip would be a great way to do things, as it appears this is the direction he is heading into with the upcoming issues.

So, thank you for your well designed and important posting, as it has brought me back into the world of a character who may very well one day return to being the man without fear...rather than the man without any shred of hope, as you eloquently put it. of course,if they do not return his trusty side kick to the story, I will have a bone to pick with this new crew...

Glad you liked the thread! DD has such a rich history and it's a shame when people only stick to vol 2, especially considering that the vol. 2 Matt/DD is so much different than the vol. 1 Matt/DD (unless DeMatteis is writing Razz).

I'm looking forward to a day in the near future when DD is constantly one step ahead of everyone else, instead of the other way around. Fine times are ahead of us, with Brubaker at the helm!
