Hmmm... the line about DD becoming the most dangerous man on earth sounds kinda interesting. I wonder what that's about.

He's going to become the Black Panther?
Glad that Guggenheim has helped on the lingo. And glad to see Waid on ASM. This feels like the great BND era isn't dead.

T'Challa became the Man Without Fear for awhile, so fair is fair I suppose.

In a just world, this present run of DAREDEVIL would be the top selling comic on the market. It's so good and looks to be getting even better. I can't wait to see where Waid is heading with it. I'm bummed about the recent news of Marcos Martin's departure but Paolo Rivera is outstanding and hopefully another exceptional artist will join him on the book.

Yeah, the current book is one of the better books out there.

And I don't think anyone should even be surprised about that. I'm not sure there's a marvel book that has been consistantly as good as DD over the years. That title has snagged some of the best creative teams on some of their best runs.

So hopefully that will continue and DD will get an artist the books deserves.

Agreed about Daredevil's history. I hit on this a little in an early letter column, but that's one of the bigger challenges on the book...it's just been above average for so long and more often than not downright excellent.

I just wanted to say, I started picking up DD some months ago just because Waid was credited on the cover, but I wasn't sold on it until last issue when the money laundering conspiracy came into play: now thats the kind of far reaching large scale issue that gets my reading motor going. No offense but lots of lawyer stuff and thwarting petty shop robberies from the first couple of issues were not really that interesting.

And now, the book is on my long term pull list and hope this kind of big thing is the main focus from here on.

I'm loving DD at the moment. It's one of the few Marvel books I'm getting at the moment.

I haven't heard of this, you got a link?

Also, I've been loving this book since it started. I just can't get enough of Matt's new attitude and that Daredevil grin.

Yeah, it has been pretty refreshing, hasn't it? In a lot of ways, it reminds me of the Wally Wood days.

Looking forward to the DD/Spider-Man crossover; I always liked it when those two would cross paths (Peter David's Sin-Eater storyline made excellent use of both characters), and it still feels wrong to me that Matt doesn't know Peter's ID. But both books are firing on all cylinders right now (at least, Amazing is doing so when it's not drawn by Ramos), and I'm glad to see the interaction.
