How did you guys feel about Denny O'Neil's run where put DD against Micah Synn?

Having been a DD fan for a number of years now, I can easily say that I really enjoyed those stories. Sure he's a bit Tarzan-ish and not really at all like the rest of DDs rogues gallery, but he did put the pressure on Matt BIG TIME. In fact, the cover to issue 212 where Kingpin and Daredevil stand side by side is one of my favourite.

Also, does anyone know if these issues will ever be reprinted in a TPB?

I think he's freaking awsome.I don't think Foggy would agree though lol.

I've suggested for a long time that these issues should be collected in a trade paperback, especially since the story came out in non-consecutive issues. I think O'Neil's Daredevil work is unfairly overlooked, and it's some of the best ever.

When I first started collecting Daredevil, these stories by O'Neil and Mazzucchelli were amazing, and you could say they got me hooked. Wink

I'm surprised Marvel hasn't reprinted more of O'Neil's work, there are some really good stories.

I think Synn is an okay character, but it seems like they tried to take in a million different directions at once: he was a tarzan rip off, he was involved in a cult, he was a rival for Kingpin, a romantic rival for Foggy.

I think they should bring that cult back and make it darker, Daredevil vs. a cult is a very interesting story.
