Daredevil 104

People have said in the past that one of the things about Peter Parker that turn them off on the character is the fact that nothing ever goes right for the poor schlub.

Until Joey Q got ahold of him, I say “He married a supermodel.”

What does this have to do with Daredevil? Well, compared to Daredevil and his alter ego Matt Murdock, ol’ Spidey rolls sevens. Nothing has ever gone right for Daredevil since gaining his powers at the age of nine or so. His dad is killed, Karen Page dies, Elektra goes all psycho, he gets outed and spends a year in jail, his house gets blown up, his office gets blown up . . . life isn’t good.

And it hasn’t changed yet. Ed Brubaker seems to take a perverse glee in making Murdock’s life horrible and mind-shattering. And doing it with the most goofy of horn-head’s rogues gallery. Mr. Fear is up this time around — Fear has gained control of Mudock’s wife, Milla, and has manipulated her into committing two murders. Which, as you might guess, hits Matt hard.

This isn’t a good issue to jump in on, if you haven’t been reading Daredevil for the past few months. But it’s Bru, so it’s good.
