Devil’s Reign Event Review!

by Leave a Comment

Devil’s Reign, written by Chip Zdarsky with art by Marco Checcheto, colours by Marcia Menyz, and lettering by Clayton Cowles is not Zdarsky and Checcheto’s first time in Hell’s Kitchen. This time however, instead of focusing on Daredevil, Zdarsky and Checcheto tell a story about Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin.

After discovering that he no longer knows Daredevil’s secret identity, Fisk outlaws all vigilantism in New York City with the Powers Act, a law that outlaws vigilantism in the city. It’s not a particularly new concept for Marvel, Civil War, which is referenced within Devil’s Reign, had done it previously, albeit on a much larger scale, and in 2020, Outlawed introduced the Underaged Superhuman Welfare Act, which banned vigilantism for those under the age of 21, a law which is actually mentioned by Fisk in the first issue.

Daredevil: Woman Without Fear Review!

It seems so obvious, doesn’t it? Marvel has a long history of replacement heroes–we’ve seen Rhodey step in to be Iron Man, the mantle of Captain Marvel has been passed down, both Falcon and Winter Soldier have been Captain America. Right now we even have Doctor Strange’s wife Clea subbing in to lead her first solo series. But none of those characters have the reach, history, or cultural cachet of Elektra Natchios. It seems so obvious to have Elektra become Daredevil, but it has never happened before. As with the rest of Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil saga, the most obvious story ideas are the most satisfying.

Daredevil Season 3 – A Fearless Search for Purpose | Darecember #4

For Matt Murdock, Daredevil is the reason he was put on this earth. A dark figure of justice that tips the scales when no one else can. But what is the meaning of that purpose when justice seems impossible to find?

After 2 seasons and a crossover miniseries, the third season of Netflix’s Daredevil is a collision course between the crushed, often overwhelmed forces of good and the growing forces of evil, embodied in a climactic clash between Daredevil and the returning Kingpin. This is the battle between corruption and justice, mercy and condemnation. But these battles draw us to a central question – why are we here on earth and what is the purpose of our lives?

Daredevil & TMNT: The Parody Comic That Ruled The World | Darecember #3

by 1 Comment

There’s a lurking evil waiting to consume New York City and the only ones that can save the day have been training their entire lives, ever since they were changed by a radiation accident, ever since they became masters of the ninja arts. They are … The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

If an 80s-born comic about gritty superheroes fighting waves of deadly ninja assassins sounds more Daredevil than TMNT to you, well, that’s because it is. [Read more…] about Daredevil & TMNT: The Parody Comic That Ruled The World | Darecember #3

DAREDEVIL: LAST RITES – The Fall of the Kingpin | Darecember #3

by Leave a Comment

Daredevil and The Kingpin. Two figures of light and darkness whose eternal battle has defined decades of Daredevil comics.

When The Kingpin entered the pages of Daredevil in 1981, he became a figure of monolithic evil. The embodiment of corruption that Daredevil would forever fight but never fully defeat. And it was The Kingpin that systematically destroyed Matt Murdock’s life in the pages of “Born Again.” But after years spent in purgatory, it was time for justice to be served. And it was incoming writer D.G. Chichester who would serve it in the pages of “Last Rites.” [Read more…] about DAREDEVIL: LAST RITES – The Fall of the Kingpin | Darecember #3
