Thanks Kuljit! Smile

I had to restrain myself a little with this one, as I'm still feeling a little disappointed that Brubaker's run ended as suddenly as it did - but it would be unfair to criticise Diggle too harshly just because he isn't Brubaker.

My only reaction to this book was "meh". It was pretty much exactly what I was expecting, not bad. But there was never a WOW moment. And I have to admit that I went straight for Criminal this week rather than DD.

Just read Daredevil #501...

I must say I love it. It's not as explosive as Daredevil #82 was with Foggy Nelson's "death". Not that what happened to Izo was irrelevant, but he has not been around as long as Foggy. So, why do I love it? The storyline screams with potential and it started here with this issue. Diggle seem to have chosen to take the ride slowly and smoothly.

Dela Torre's painted over art was awesome! It goes with what this book had in the past art-wise, while also standing out on it's own.

The last page was a great way to cap the issue...

Long day at work, and I am tired.

I really liked the issue -- like one of the above poster mentioned, it looks like Diggle is starting off slow with the plot.

One thing I can't let go after reading it twice -- did anyone notice that Dakota says she's going to punish herself by eating a donut, and then puts the donut back in the box uneaten.

Symbolism, perhaps?

OK, off to get some rest,
Tom

Yeah, Criminal has been great, and I quite liked Incognito too. I need to go back and check out their work on Sleeper, as I've never read it (but have heard good things).

Wow, that's really a fantastic start!
At last it seems that Daredevil means business again. If he will actually kick ass again, the way he used to do during Bendis' run, the price he paid was a reasonable one Smile

The Message Board is currently in read-only mode, as the software is now out of date.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.
