Ringmaster! Brubaker making the Ringmaster cool would be even more crazy than Gail Simone making Cat-Man cool! THAT would be interesting!

| Perhaps Elektra is simply a pathological liar, Forrest. And perhaps Becky wanted Milla to get slaughtered (she used to be enamored of Matt, after all!) . Though I, too, have enjoyed Brubaker's tenure thus far, the irrational behavior of some of the principal characters continues to puzzle me. |

Ya think? Maybe we need Wonder Woman and her truth lasso to tie things up here.

Oh, yeah, like Becky could run faster than Milla...what a stretch there.

Good on Brubaker, then. He's managed to confound even the famous Stephan, who can quote every issue. Funny, I can do the same thing, as can anyone else here who has the complete run at his/her fingertips.

Your deprecating remarks are uncalled for, Alice (and they reflect rather poorly on you). Moreover, you fail to furnish a logical explanation for the perplexing behavior that I cited. Why did Elektra claim that the Murdock Papers existed when they did not? Another blunder by Bendis, perhaps? Or is there an alternative explanation?
Incodentally, I would rather be "confounded" than turn a blind eye to recurring continuity errors, inconsistencies, etc. Intelligent observers take notice of such things. Dunces readily accept whatever is presented. |

DareDevil is, for better or worse, the story of five people; Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, Foggy Nelson, Bullseye and whomever is the damsel of the moment. The best stories come from finding the drama between those five points. Miller's contribution of focusing on that tight circle is just as great as how he made the book more gritty and realistic.
This issue hits all five of those points and hits them hard. Foggy's memory fuels Matt's rage, Fisk uses Bulls to facilitate their escape and then it's Milla's words which bring him back to rationality. What more can you want out of an issue?
Well, I'll see you guys at issue #88. My fears about Bru/Lark coasting off the inertia of Bendis/Maleev were put aside with issue 86. This was the new creative team's opportunity to set off in their own direction with a burst and that they did. |
I do think the mythos is stuck in a bit of rut, I mean those five people are important, but using the same characters over and over is tiresome. Look at Kingpin and Bullseye, their good villains, but if they are used all the time they become overexposed and stale. I'm not sating get rid of those villains, but I do think dD's B list villains like Purple man or Mr. Hyde should be built up and used more often, just so DD has a variety of challenges that he faces. Bullseye and Kingpin would still be his top villains, its just that he would fight other villains as well, on regular basis, as well. |

Deprecating? Nah. Just trying to lighten it up a little. A little overreaction on your part here, bud.
I did not even begin to address "perplexing behaviours" in that post, nor did I intend to. I quoted the parts that I was addressing.
Point out where I said that I do not take note of such things. You forget to whom you are talking, sir. Name calling does not become you.
P.S. What is "incodentally"? It's not in my Cambridge Dictionary. If it's a typo, I suggest you proofread your angry little jabs before you post them.

It's like Brubaker found a magic genie and one of his wishes was to write one of the best arcs in DD history.
I see why Bru wanted Matt in prison, that environment is a great seed, and he's adding element after element to give us a great tale. |
