Hey guys

Hey guys, I wanted to make this post today since I haven't made a single un"A Detective Story" realated post in two days.  Well I finished Daredvil Visionaries:Frank Miller Volume 2 today, and I shall now post my thoughts on it.  

Awesome, that describes it all in one word.  I love how Matt's written here, he's driven and strong.  I also loved to see Turk and Gratto be idiots every other issue.  I also really enjoyed Miller's Bullseye, the character makes for a great villian.  I really like his Joker-esque attitude.  But I have to say that The Kingpin steals the show as Daredevil's greatest foe.  I LOVED the whole Vanessa affair, he was beautifully equal parts sympathetic and evil, but he wouldn't have become so evil had the love of his life not been so viscously taken away from him, all in all beautifully complex.  I also enjoyed the ark's conclusion.  I didn't really get why so many liked Elektra, in this ark she's totally unlikeable until she spares Foggy.  Which was more so out of the possibility of her becoming likeable than anything.  But I can't say anything on who she's become over the years of her own series and different writers.  I also love the fact that this collection end on the note of Matt finally realizeing that she's really dead(Miller obviously wanted her to stay so by the way the issue's written.).  Miller's art is also fantastic, much better than what it's devolved to over the years, I personally wished it had stayed here or between or at The Dark Knight Returns.  One of my favorite issues in this collection in the Ben Urich one, I'd read a series all about him if it was written that well.

I also recently bought/watched the Director's Cut of Daredevil(2003), and it is a MUCH better movie and I think most Daredevil fans would enjoy this cut.  And for the last part of this Daredevil-centered post, I recently bought Daredevil:Born Again off ebay, and I am excitedly awaiting its arrival.

Now onto my real lift, I attended Sheila's funeral today, I know I didn't like her, but I felt I had to.  Her parents were there and her whole family.  As a pick-me-up, Eric watched my Daredevil Director's Cut with me, it was rather nice.

Later Gatoers...
