Rick and I dive into Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr.'s classic and often overlooked run on Daredevil. These first 15 issues focus primarily on Matt's tangle with the deadly Typhoid Mary, as the book looks for an identity that is not totally defined by Miller's run while still giving the fans what they want. It's an absolute blast. Check out more in depth show notes by going to our Tumblr! Follow Autumn on Bluesky! Follow Rick on Bluesky and Patreon! Our art was done by Cam!

With Daredevil: Born Again hitting Disney+, we're setting our radar on one of Daredevil's most dangerous foes—Typhoid Mary! This isn't just any villain origin; it's a fever dream of seduction, fire, and psychological torment, all wrapped up in Ann Nocenti's signature surrealism.We break down the chaos of Typhoid Mary's first appearance, where she juggles murder, mind control, and a garbage strike (yes, really), all while catching the eye of the Kingpin himself. And because this is X-Reads, we're diving into her mutant status and why she's one of the most unique villains to walk the line between X-Men and Daredevil.Does Typhoid Mary out-crazy the Kingpin? Is Matt Murdock too distracted to see what's coming? And most importantly, what does this mean for her future in the MCU? Press play before the garbage piles up!Find us on the AIPT Podcast Network.

Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. On this week's episode we are joined by Chad Anderson of the x-cellent x-podcast Graymalkin Lane. Chad offers up his encyclopedic knowledge as we dive into the 1960s, looking at when the mutant metaphor began and when Beast started really hating humans. We dive into Chad's birth month and year issue - Uncanny X-Men 115 - where we get his full breakdown of Sauron (and a great voice for him too). Also in this issue: Banshee has never looked hotter Also, no one knows who you are Banshee stop asking Lodro is going to hatch a rom com situation to make Ann Nocenti his cool aunt Wolverines can run really fast There sure is a lot of Cyclops blasting all over Wolverine's face in this issue Also, Cyclops and Banshee tag team Sauron Colossus has a son we will never speak of - Sauron is bad at break ups Zaladane dresses like a chicken drag queen Ka Zar keeps butting in to tell people he also has adventures All this plus why Boom Boom would be a great president! Boom Boom 2028! She has my vote. What does any of this mean for Chad's future (and - BONUS - our society's)? Tune in to find out! Chad Anderson is the host of the wonderful x-podcast Graymalkin Lane where he and his queer friends review the X-Men comics of the 1960s. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Chad is a father of two, works as a trauma therapist and a writer. He's written the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, the Mushroom Murders graphic novel, the documentary Dog Valley, and his memoir Gay Mormon Dad is currently being adapted into a graphic novel! More of Lodro Rinzler's work can be found here and here and you can follow the podcast on Instagram at xmenpanelsdaily where we post X-Men comic panels...daily.

Episode 31 - Murdock and Marvel: 1990 Part 2 As we start the 90s Marvel and DC are approaching monopoly status on comic store shelves, leaving other publishers to look for success at the margins. But if you are a big fan of the Big 2, 1990 was a good time to be reading comic books! This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1990. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #276-287, Wolverine #21, Captain America #368, 374 - 376, Count Duckula #10, Punisher Magazine #8 and 15-16, What if…? #13, 15, 17, 20, Marvel Comics presents #49 and Daredevil: Marked for Death and Elektra Lives Again graphic novels Writing credits: Ann Nocenti (276-287) Pencilers: John Romita Jr (276, 278-282), Rick Leonardi (277), Mark Bagley (283), Lee Weeks (284-285, 287), Greg Capullo (286) Inks: Al Williamson (276-282, 284-285, 287), Williamson and Tom Morgan (283), Doug Hazlewood (286) As the year begins, The Acts of Vengeance event continues with Ultron looking to take Number Nine as a bride and Daredevil must try to save her. Next, we get an out of timeline story involving Daredevil and a psychologist whose star patient is his wife. Back to the current timeline, The Inhumans are set to leave for Pottersville in search of Black Bolts' son and it turms into a road trip for them, Daredevil, Number 9 and Brandy. Meanwhile, Blackheart and Mephisto discuss the finer points of evil and Blackheart is tasked with making Daredevil and the others do evil. In Pottersville, the team finds a boy, Pope, with powers who the town is scared of and wants to kill him. They save the boy, but in the aftermath fall into a crack in the earth caused by an earthquake. We then see Daredevil and his companions experience different versions of Hell before a final showdown with Mephisto in which they are aided by the Silver Surfer. Next, we get a single (what I assume is out of timeline) story in which Captain America and Daredevil are trying to help an inventor whose fantastic invention could change the world. This social issue focused book will be our spotlight story this week. Daredevil finally returns to New York, but his memories are scrambled by the recent trip to Hell. Not knowing who he really is, he assumes the identity of Jack Murdock. Bullseye finds out about the confusion and decides to take advantage of the situation by impersonating the horned hero. The rest of the year we see Matt Murdock meet a homeless woman, Nyla, who takes him in and the two become close. Murdock becomes a boxer, like his father, at Fogwell's Gym and Bullseye continues stealing from the rich and beating up police to ruin the reputation of the once great hero. Ben Urich returns and seems to realize things don't add up and goes looking for Matt Murdock. In the final panels of the year, we see Wilson Fisk at a “Jack Murdock” boxing match and he too recognizes his former adversary. New Powers, Toys or Places: Still in upstate New York to start the year, we see the team head to Hell/Mephisto's realm across several books before returning to familiar New York City. New Supporting Characters: Daniel and Vivian (psychologist and his wife), Pope (Boy in Pottersville's with powers that the townsfolk want to kill), Victor Cieszkowska (Inventor disillusioned by the US and their people), Nyla (homeless woman that befriends Matt Murdock while he's going by Jack Murdock, becomes a love interest) New Villains: This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #283 August 1990 “The American Nightmare” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway Marvel has won. Questions or comments We'd love to hear from you! Email us at questions@comicsovertime.com or find us on Twitter @comicsoftime. ------------------ THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING CREATORS AND RESOURCES Music: Our theme music is by the very talented Lesfm. You can find more about them and their music at https://pixabay.com/users/lesfm-22579021/. The Grand Comics Database: Dan uses custom queries against a downloadable copy of the GCD to construct his publisher, title and creator charts. Comichron: Our source for comic book sales data. Man Without Fear: Kuljit Mithra's Daredevil site contains a staggering collection of resources about our hero, including news, interviews and comic details. The American Comic Book Chronicles: Published by TwoMorrows, these volumes provide an excellent analysis of American comics through the years. Because these volumes break down comic history by year and decade they are a great place to get a basic orientation on what is happening across the comic industry at a particular point in time. Joshua and Jamie Do Daredevil: A fantastic podcast that does a deep-dive into Daredevil comics. This ran from 2018-2020, and covered most of the first volume of Daredevil, and was a fun way to get an in-depth look at each issue of Daredevil from 1-377. My Marvelous Year: This is a reading-club style podcast where Dave Buesing and friends chose important or interesting books from a particular year to read and discuss. This helped me remember some fun and crazy stories, and would be a great companion piece to Murdock and Marvel for those who want more comic-story-specific coverage. BOOKLIST The following books have been frequently used as reference while preparing summaries of the comic history segments of our show. Each and every one comes recommended by Dan for fans wanting to read more about it! Licari, Fabio and Marco Rizzo. Marvel: The First 80 Years: The True Story of a Pop-Culture Phenomenon. London: Titan Books, 2020. This book is sort of a mess, as the print quality is terrible, and Titan doesn't even credit the authors unless you check the fine print. It's like this was published by Marvel in the early 60s! But the information is good, and it is presented in an entertaining fashion. So its decent, but I would recommend you see if you can just borrow it from the library instead of purchasing. Wells, John. American Comic Book Chronicles: 1960-1964. Raleigh: Two Morrows, 2015. Not cheap, but a fantastic series that is informative and fun to read. Wright, Bradford. Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001. This is the revised edition. Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History. New York: DK Publishing, 2022. The academic in my rails at using information from any work that doesn't have an author credit, but this is a decent (if very surface) look at each year in the history of Timely / Marvel from 1939 to 2021. Cowsill, Alan et al. DC Comics Year by Year: A Visual History. New York: DK Publishing, 2010. Because its nice to occasionally take a peek at what the Distinguished Competition is up to. Dauber, Jeremy. American Comics: A History. New York, W.W. Norton & Company, 2022. An excellent, relatively compact history of the domestic comic industry from its 19th century origins through to recent 21st century developments. An excellent successor to Bradford Wright's Comic Book Nation.
Episode 29 - Murdock and Marvel: 1989 Part 2 This week we finish up the 80s, and see what another round of Batmania can do to and for the comics world. This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1989. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #262- 275, Marvel Tales #222, Marvel Comics Presents #19, Saga of the Sub-Mariner #9, What if…? #1-2, Excalibur #14, Wolverine #17 Writing credits: Ann Nocenti (262-275) Nocenti & Romita Jr (266 - Plot by Nocenti and Romita Jr., script by Nocenti) Pencilers: John Romita Jr (262-263, 265-275), Steve Ditko (264) Inks: Al Williamson (262-263, 265-275), Mike Manley and Williamson (264) As the year begins, Daredevil is still missing and presumed dead. Though Daredevil is coached (taunted) by to live by his old mentor Stick. Meanwhile NYC is seeing objects come to life and attacking humans (Think Maximum Overdrive) – which seems to be part of the inferno event. Upon going to the hospital, Karen and Mary show up to visit and Karen learns Matt has been cheating on her. After an issue hiatus featuring the Owl and the Bombers because John Romita Jr was getting married and wasn't available to draw, we see a resolution of sorts with Daredevil taking down a demon onslaught. After spending Christmas in a bar with Mephisto as Daredevil, Matt burns all his belongings and leaves NYC. What followings is a string of stories about Murdock being a loner and helping out as Daredevil when he can. He saves a man from a crashed plane, helps a man get out of an illegal loansharking business, saves a mutant girl from Blob and Pyro. In September we see Daredevil and Spider-Man team up. This will be our spotlight story for the week. Next Daredevil helps Brandy Ash expose her father's inhumane animal farm – which leads to release of young woman who was being experimented on known as number 9. This led to a multi-book story arch that finished out the year by introduced a new villain, Shotgun, and brought in the inhumans. The year ends with a second December book that was part of the Acts of Vengeance event and shows Doctor Doom reviving Ultron and orders it to destroy Daredevil but it is conflicted by all the previous versions of itself and meeting Number 9. New Powers, Toys or Places: half the year takes place outside of New York city, but seemly not outside New York state – in various small towns. New Supporting Characters: Amanda (young mutant saved from Freedom Force), Brandy Ash (young ecologist who doesn't like her father's farm), Number 9 (young woman experimented on by Skip Ash), inhumans (Black Bolt, Medusa, Gorgon Petragon, Karnak Mander-Azur) New Villains: Mephisto (demon lord who has drinks with Daredevil in a bar as a young woman), Blackheart (Mephisto's “son”), Freedom Force (Blob, Pyro and Spiral), Skip Ash (terrible human to animals and young women), Shotgun (special forces in the military and member of the CIA called on by Skip Ash) This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #270 September 1989 “Blackheart” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway So how is that “comics are dying” idea going a decade later?

Episode 27 - Murdock and Marvel: 1988 This week we begin to see what happens when two massive Kaiju go to war in a region. Everything else either runs away or is destroyed. Such is the world of comics, circa 1988. The Year in Comics Notable and Newsworthy Industry Trends Awards Dan's Favorite The Year in Marvel Events & Happenings New Series/Limited Titles New Characters Series Ending Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Bryan Hitch Dan's Favorite The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #250-261, West Coast Avengers #28, Thor #392, Amazing Spider-Man Annual #22, Marvel Masterworks #5, Punisher War Journal #2 along with the Daredevil/Punisher Child's Play and Hawkeye graphic novels. Writing credits: Ann Nocenti (#250-261) Pencilers: John Romita Jr (#250-261) Inks: Al Williamson (#250-261) The year being with a new artist, John Romita Jr, and the introduction of a new villain (Bullet) who's been hired by Kelco as we see the continuation of the Tyrone Janson story from late last year. We also meet Bullet's son, Lance, who is afraid the world will end at any moment. Next Daredevil takes on another new villain in Ammo and the Wild Boys during a blackout caused by the Apocalypse's Horsemen – which is part of the Fall of the Mutants event. Daredevil stops him and he ends up in prison. After being robbed several times, Kingpin hires the robber by offering the dissociative identity disorder alter Typhoid $1 million dollars to make Murdock/Daredevil fall in love with her and then crush him – which she agrees. When then see Matt Murdock meeting the other alter, Mary. What follows is a brilliant story arch that lasts through the end of the year. Murdock does fall in love with Mary and ends up fighting Typhoid several times (but doesn't realize the connection). Other subplots going on throughout this arch: Tyrone gets his day in court with Kelco Chemicals – whom is represented by Foggy Nelson – and wins thanks to some ghost lawyering by Murdock Karen Page realizes she's losing Murdock as he's sneaking around to meet with Mary Typhoid grows concerned that Mary's love for Matt is allowing her to grow stronger and could eventually take over. Kingpin falls in love with Typhoid and eventually gets jealous of the Murdock/Mary relationship. After ordering Typhoid to take out Murdock/Daredevil, She assembles a team of Bullet, Ammo, the Wild Boys and Bushwacker to soften him up before she finishes the job. This climatic story is our spotlight story for the week. As the year ends, Daredevil is missing and Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch) has been enlisted to help a desperate Karen find him. Meanwhile Kingpin isn't exactly happy how Typhoid carried out his order, but sees it as an opportunity to expand in Hell's Kitchen. Strong year of storytelling and brilliant art throughout the year New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #260 November 1988 “Vital Signs” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway Is it still an industry if there are only two companies?

Episode 26 - Murdock and Marvel: 1987 After the wonders of 1986 the comic industry found itself with a glut of new companies, new titles, and new awards shows. How would it all work out? Lets go back to '87 and find out… PreShow Banter A tweet from Forrest about the Watchmen books.

We then get likely the best story of the year and it guest stars the Black Panther. This will be our spotlight story for the week. As the year continues, we have more solo book stories that feel similar in scope and impact to the character as the ones before the spotlight book. We do see the return of Black Widow for an issue as the pair take down a deranged super soldier. Karen tries to get Matt back into office work by surprising him with new offices There is a short-lived subplot where Karen Page starts to be frightened by the violence Daredevil dishes out, but she came to see it as fine after an issue or two. The year ends with a two-book story arc involving another new villain, Bushwacker, who has an arm he can convert into a gun that sees the return of Wolverine to aid him in tracking the villain – which leads to a battle between the two over how justice should be handled. In this story we also meet Tyrone Janson – who is blinded by chemicals dumped in the Hudson River.

Episode 24 - Murdock and Marvel: 1986 Part 2 If you are every arguing with friends about what was the best year in the history of comics, you could do worse than arguing for 1986. With a ton of interesting independent books, vibrant small-press publishers popping up everywhere, and four of the most beloved stories in the history of comics, '86 was definitely a banner year! This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1986. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #226-237, Spectacular Spider-Man #110, Amazing Spider-Man #277, Marvel Age Annual #2, Avengers Annual #15, Marvel Fanfare #27, Elektra: Assassin #1 and 4, Marvel Saga the Official History #13, and Marvel Graphic Novel: Daredevil Love and War Writing credits: Frank Miller and Denny O'Neil (226), Frank Miller (227-233), Mark Gruenwald (234), Danny Fingeroth (235), Ann Nocenti (236), “John Harkness” (237) Pencilers: David Mazzucchelli (226-233), Steve Ditko (234-235), Barry Windsor-Smith (236), Lois Williams (237) Inks: Dennis Janke (226), David Mazzucchelli (227-233), Klaus Jansen (234), Danny Bulanadi (235), Windsor-Smith and Bob Wiacek (236), Al Williamson and Bulandi (237) The year begins Frank Miller returning to the title and a story where Daredevil helps Gladiator save Betsy Beatty after confronting him stealing from a museum Next, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli start an iconic run of books that you've probably heard of “Born Again” that starts with book 227 and finishes with 233. This incredible will be the spotlight for this week. After Born Again, we get four stand-alone stories by four different writers to finish out the year. The first against a weird “hero” named Mad Cap who spouts nonsense and seemly can't be killed. Next Daredevil takes on Mr. Hyde yet again. Then Daredevil and the Black Widow team up to track down another deranged member of the Super Soldier Project. Finally, Daredevil takes on the Klaw who's looking to re-establish himself by taking him down. Issue #237 was initially going to be the start of Steve Engelhart's run on DD, but he was replaced by Ann Nocenti after writing just one issue, which he had his name taken off of, and the pen name “John Harkness” was credited Daredevil: Love and War GN told the story of how the Kingpin kidnapped a psychiatrist's wife to coerce him to help his wife, who was not recovering well from her accident and her captivity in the sewers. By the end of the story we find out Vanessa only wants to escape from Fisk, and he sends her away to Europe with the doctor and his wife so she can heal and start a new life. Elektra: Assassin is completely batshit. Fully painted by Bill S., it is wildly experimental and confusing. Elektra and a cyborg who is obsessed with her try to stop a presidential candidate who looks kind of like Dan Quayle from doing the will of “the beast” and causing a nuclear holocaust. New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #227 February 1986 “Apocalypse” through Daredevil #233 August 1986 “Armageddon” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway It was the Best of Times, but it led to the Worst of Times.

Polish off paneer biryani with Tobias Carroll as we discuss which punk rock music made him a fan, why his heart belongs to novella-length works rather than massive epics, the artistic motivation for sometimes not giving readers what they've been taught to expect, the reason Ann Nocenti's run on Daredevil was meaningful to him (and why he believes it aged so well), his fascination with deteriorating physical media, why Edward Hopper's classic painting Nighthawks would have made the perfect cover art for one of his books, how you know when you've stuck the landing with a short story, and much more.

Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future...in this case YOUR future! Legendary writer and editor of X-Men Ann Nocenti joins Lodro to talk about the creation story of Longshot and Mojo! What was it like in the Marvel bullpen in the 80s punk era? How do you play editor to someone like Chris Claremont? War: what is it good for? Also in this episode: Lodro takes his top off for Ann! We talk about X-Men Legends 3, a fascinating story Ann wrote that takes place immediately after her 1980s Longshot mini-series featuring Wolverine and Kitty Pryde...at war. What does that issue say about all of US as a society? Tune in to find out! It is not just a horoscope; it is your mutant destiny decoded. Ann Nocenti is a renowned writer, editor, director and journalist. She teaches bootcamp filmmaking, most recently to at-risk teenagers in Kingston, NY, to Cherokee Native Americans at the Tulsa International Film Festival, and in Norway for the Indigenous Film Circle. Her journalism has appeared in Details, Utne, HEEB, Stop Smiling, PRINT, Filmmaker, Scenario, and more. She made a documentary about the resistance fighters in Baluchistan (with Wendy Johnson) called The Baluch and of course Ann is also known for her work in comics, writing Daredevil, editing the X-Men, and creating such iconic characters as Longshot, Typhoid, Spiral, Mojo, Blackheart and many more.

The Seeds by Ann Nocenti and David Aja is an ecological, post-apocalyptic, science fiction, romantic, techno thriller. If that sounds like a lot, it's because Nocenti and Aja stuffed this four-issue story chock full of ideas and concepts. Perhaps The Seeds isn't a perfect comic book, but it's absolutely an intriguing one. It's a comic that demands your active attention. We tried to figure it out - no idea if we've understood it properly - but we had a good time with it. It's refreshing to read a mainstream comic that has a high estimation of the intellect of its readers. What'd you guys think about The Seeds? If you have any thoughts, comments, questions, or corrections, we're here. Feel free to hit us up on our socials, or email us!

COMICS ROT YOUR BRAIN! is a deep dive into ‘80s comics (plus a few noteworthy exceptions).In this weekly podcast, screenwriters Chris Derrick (STAR TREK: PICARD) and Steven Bagatourian (AMERICAN GUN) discuss their favorite books, runs, and creators from the Bronze Age.In this very special ZERO EPISODE, Steven and Chris sit down and gab about the genesis of this podcast: how the team was formed and our mission!SHOW NOTES:1:05 - Why we're doing this show5:02 - Experimentation in mainstream comics in the ‘80s, specifically Jenette Kahn's extraordinary, game-changing reign as Publisher of DC Comics.6:44 - Why the ‘80s were such a halcyon period to read American comics and the importance of examining the more obscure titles from that era.9:10 - DC's much lamented horror anthology, WASTELAND, and other comics that leave a lasting mark on their audiences, regardless of commercial success.10:56 - Paul Chadwick's CONCRETE from Dark Horse Comics and other once-acclaimed works that slip between the cracks of our collective memory.12:05 - Marvel, Ron Perelman, HEROES REBORN, and the birth of the modern comics mainstream as IP farm, first and foremost.13:37 - Epic Comics, EPIC ILLUSTRATED, DREADSTAR, ALIEN LEGION, GROO THE WANDERER, AKIRA.16:00 - SKREEMER, VIGILANTE, GRENDEL, and our raison d'être. Also: Chris' love of big French words and the types of comics that inspired us.17:59 - MR. MONSTER and revisiting the indie comics of our youth to see how well they hold up (spoiler: still dope).19:43 - The list of comic books we want to cover: SCOUT, HAWKWORLD, AZTEC ACE, BROUGHT TO LIGHT, COYOTE, BWS' STORYTELLER, WISE SON: THE WHITE WOLF, THE LIGHT & DARKNESS WAR, MARS, AMERICAN FLAGG, THE SHADOW (Mike Kaluta, Howard Chaykin, Andy Helfer, Bill Sienkiewicz, Marshall Rogers, Baker).23:10 - The pre-Vertigo era, Vertigo, AMERICAN CENTURY by Chaykin, Tischman, and Laming; BLACK KISS and the transgressive works of Howard Chaykin.28:00 - Tim Vigil and David Quinn's FAUST: “If you're not offending somebody with your work, you're not doing it right.”29:52 - The difference between mainstream comics then and now — the devolution of American genre comics. IP management versus creative stewardship — the work of Steve Englehart, Cary Bates and Carmine Infantino's insane TRIAL OF THE FLASH, Ann Nocenti, JRJR, and Al Williamson's DAREDEVIL.

Today's guest, Ann Nocenti, has been there and done that. Not only did she break in as a writer with Marvel on titles such as Bizarre Adventures, Spider-Woman, and the Dazzler and Beast miniseries Beauty and the Beast, she in short order became an assistant editor for Carl Potts, where she worked on such titles as The Incredible Hulk, The Defenders, Doctor Strange, and The Thing. Not only did she and the elusive Arthur Adams create Longshot and launched him in his own miniseries, she teamed with other A-list talent like Mike Mignola, Barry Windsor-Smith, and John Romita Jr. Not only did she have a defining run on Daredevil (where she introduced villains like Typhoid Mary and Blackheart), but she wrote Kid Eternity for Vertigo and then left comics to pursue journalism and film. And guess what? She recently returned to the Marvel fold with miniseries featuring Captain Marvel and Storm, and worked with Berger Books (Dark Horse) on Ruby Falls and Seeds!

our graphic content module continues with the seeds by ann nocenti and david aja and a return to familiar subject matter. first, though, we talk about steven soderbergh for a while. then, we talk about how the seeds reminds us of the private eye, except with aliens and different ideological divides among its characters. we talk about the book's 90s feel re: aliens and accompanying aesthetics, the thematic appropriateness of the art, and the seemingly optimistic ending. we bring up the oft-discussed eco module. joey asks shreds about a new (to him) book website. we wonder what the “right” speed at which to read and consume and spend with comics may be. reading list for season seven understanding comics: the invisible art by scott mccloud coyote doggirl by lisa hanawalt the private eye by brian k. vaughan, marcos martin, muntsa vicente no longer human by junji ito the seeds by ann nocenti, david aja bitter root by david f. walker, chuck brown, sanford greene this one summer by mariko tamaki, jillian tamaki asterios polyp by david mazzucchelli kingdom come by mark waid, alex ross prison pit by johnny ryan ragnarok by walter simonson

Daredevil is a complicated hero – DD historically sits at the bottom of the top tier heroes (save for a dynamic once-every-decade redefining run), mixing dark magic ninjas with Irish-Catholic guilt like few comics can, and – in great part due to a shared pool of creators – is regularly seen as a crimson-imitation of Batman (and sometimes, they even team up). But then, in 2019, Chip Zdarsky dared to bring Daredevil due on 55 years of potential, promises, and conflicting mythologies: Mike Murdock lives, Elektra dons the cowl, The Daredevils vs The Fisks for the fate of NYC, new trajectory for Typhoid Mary, and the “resolution” to The Hand saga. After a 70 issue Daredevil Era-Event-Experience, the finale left Matt, Elektra, & Hell's Kitchen itself in a dangerously familiar yet mysterious direction. Join The Action Pack PLUS The Billy Club crew as they look at Daredevil (vol 8) #1 PLUS a look at the 25h anniversary of Guardian Devil, the landmark Kevin Smith story proving Daredevil still had more life after Frank Miller & Ann Nocenti's then-nearly decade old runs & a history of Daredevil's biggest eras, number ones, and more!

The Ox was not the most memorable villain Daredevil had in the earliest issues o the title, but Ox's second appearance, while rote with tropes that were common to the era, manages to finally reclaim the energy that once belonged to the title. The transition of artists, writers, and genre left Daredevil languishing, like the wrong mind in the wrong body – which is exactly what Daredevil #15 delivers! Then – The Billy Club is back with an all-new news special! Daredevil Omnibus volume 2 was announced leading Nico & Tori to a deeeeep rabbit hole looking at literally every Marvel Omnibus edition to contain Daredevil or Elektra content! They look at the proper runs (the Classic 60s, Miller, Bendis, Waid, & more) plus crossover collections (like Shadowland and the X-Men collections), as well as what's still missing (like the Ann Nocenti run)! Next – The D23 Expo may as well been named Daredevil 23 Expo with the amazing news they provided to The Billy Club team! The incredible event gave new clips from She-Hulk featuring Daredevil, Echo news, a new Born Again logo, and more beyond just the new Disney+ show! There's news of Daredevil headed to the theme parks and even a Mickey Mouse and BEARDEVIL mashup!? Last – The hotly-anticipated appearance of Matt Murdock (aka I Am Not Daredevil) has finally arrived! On this installment of The Billy Club, Nico and Tori are joined by Producer Kevo as they discuss the hornhead's triumphant return to superheroics with his first full appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Does the devil live up to the hype? Hell yes!! The She-Hulk series perfectly nails the character of Matt Murdock that we knew and loved from the Netflix series while continuing to expand the character, making these fans even more excited for what's to come.

Luck was on his side when Mike's first-ever foray into Marvel Comics was the incredible 1985 miniseries LONGSHOT by Ann Nocenti & Arthur Adams! While the title character and his rogues gallery would become fixtures in X-Men comics for years to come, the original 6-issue series remains a fantastic standalone-read and a creative high point in 1980s Marvel history. The medium is the message in Mojoverse! --- Excerpt from "Longshot" rap by Adam WarRock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_iWN91sRww
