I'm playing catch up on it right now and I'm onto issue 19. It's really good at balancing Matt so he makes mistakes, learns from them, but ultimately is sympathetic, but more than that, it has a lot of moments of inversion where you're expecting things to go one way but they twist the other instead. I would easily put it up there with the seminal 2000s runs. Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil run really is for those reasons. I see Zdarsky's name on a Marvel book, I'll give it a go for what he's done on Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Life Story and Daredevil. I adore Finale from Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #310. We both do. Edited April 1, 2021 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 JRJ was so out of place as a DC artist. His style was so not what I think of for a main DC book. Marvel is really his fit. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right that he's better suited to Marvel. When I think of JRJR, it's him on art during JMS' Amazing Spider-Man run from 2001-2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really liked most of Life Story as it came out, particularly the last issue and thinking it would read better in trades. Life Story is written by Chip Zdarsky, drawn by Mark Bagley and this Life Story Annual will focus on J. Jonah Jameson. I want Daredevil to get the Life Story six issue treatment by Chip Zdarsky.

Kang Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 X Book lineup Some think Hickman is bringing back Uncanny, I wouldn't mind if the new title had no Xmen name at all for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoae Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm only reading books Hickman actually scripts, so it doesn't bother me, but, yeah, there seems to be an overwhelming number of X books at the moment. It's probably been worse, though, and honestly, I was spending a lot more on the X line several years ago when Gillen, Carey, Bendis, Remender, etc. were all on X titles in roughly the same time frame (i don't think they were all writing X titles at the same time, but it was the same several-year period and there was a decent bit of overlap).

odessasteps Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 I think I'm down to just reading Xmen, marauders and new mutants. But I read Paul's recaps so I don't have to really read the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
