This week on Comics and Chronic we discuss the return of the Netflix Daredevil, now on Disney Plus, Daredevil Born AgainCharlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll & others return for an amazing comeback! But first, disaster strikes Cody! You'll have to tune in to hear how. We take a little trip to segue city this episode. Jake compliments Ben Affleck Daredevil while Cody & he remain united in their hatred for Foggy Nelson. Is this season an analogy for what's happening in the US right now? This season brings back the classic grit and brutality from the original. Is there Italian discrimination in this show? This show does not boot lick in the slightest! Was Muse under utilized? Is using chairs to promote the Avengers cheap as fuck? Who will the roster for the Defenders be in the next season? Michael Gandolfini kills it and successfully emulates his father's acting. Was the CGI good? Would a Robert Rodriguez Daredevil film crush? Should Ben Stiller play a 90's Daredevil? Will the Avengers just put anyone on their team? Did this show suffer from a Marvel trope of the hero not wearing their costume enough?

One of these stories had a resurrection that actually worked… This week on The Infamous Podcast, Brian and Darryl close the chapter on Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, and it's… a choice. Then they dig into Amazon's new supernatural bounty hunter series The Bondsman, which might just be the weirdest thing Prime Video has greenlit this month (and that's saying something). Darryl delivers a mini-review of The King of Kings—a cinematic sermon or box office blunder? Meanwhile, Brian charges in with a tactical breakdown of Warfare, where the explosions were loud and the film was in-ten-city-in-ten-cities. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The King of Kings Mini-Review: 6:00 Warfare Mini-Review: 12:08 Daredevil: Born Again Finale: 21:50 The Bondsman Season 1: 36:11 Mini-Review: The King of Kings (2025) – Rating 8/10 Summary Directed by Seong-ho Jang, this animated film features Charles Dickens (voiced by Kenneth Branagh) narrating the life of Jesus to his son Walter, who imagines himself witnessing biblical events. The film combines a unique framing device with a faithful retelling of the Gospels, featuring voice talents like Oscar Isaac as Jesus and Mark Hamill as King Herod. It's a heartfelt, family-friendly portrayal that resonates with audiences of all ages.  Mini-Review: Warfare (2025) – Rating 6.75/10 Summary Co-directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, “Warfare” offers a harrowing, real-time depiction of a Navy SEAL mission gone awry in Ramadi, Iraq. Based on Mendoza's own experiences, the film immerses viewers in the chaos of combat, highlighting the psychological toll on soldiers. With a strong ensemble cast and a commitment to authenticity, it's a visceral exploration of modern warfare's realities. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+) Out of 5 Broken Batons Darryl: 2.75/5 Brian: 3.2/5 Season 1 Out of 10 Conflicted Catholics in Spandex Darryl: 6.25/10 Brian: 6.9/10 Summary In the finale titled “Straight to Hell,” Matt Murdock faces devastating losses: Foggy Nelson is murdered by Bullseye under Vanessa Fisk's orders, and Kingpin seizes control of New York, imposing martial law. Despite the chaos, Matt, with allies like Karen Page and the Punisher, begins to form a resistance, setting the stage for a darker, more intense Season 2.  The Bondsman – Season 1 (Prime) Out of 10 Deals with the Devil Darryl: 7.5/10 Brian: 7.85/10 Summary The Bondsman is a supernatural western-action series from Amazon Prime that blends grit, grief, and a touch of hellfire. It follows Hub Halloran (played by Kevin Bacon), a grizzled and recently deceased bounty hunter who gets a second shot at redemption — but with a catch: he's brought back to life by the Devil himself to track down demons who've escaped Hell. Armed with his cowboy instincts, a sarcastic streak, and a growing sense of purpose, Hub rides across dusty towns and shadowy landscapes hunting hellspawn, questioning whether this is punishment, penance… or something more cosmic. Along the way, he reconnects with estranged family, forms an unlikely bond with a demon-turned-sidekick named Midge, and uncovers a deeper plot that could tear open the gates of Hell permanently. The tone walks a line between Justified and Supernatural, with bursts of dark humor, philosophical musings, and buckets of demon-slaying chaos. Bacon brings swagger and weariness in equal measure, anchoring a surprisingly emotional core in a show that never takes itself too seriously — until it suddenly does. Episode 1: “Hell to Pay” Bounty hunter Hub Halloran is murdered and resurrected by the Devil to hunt escaped demons, marking the start of his supernatural journey. Episode 2: “Dead Man's Debt” Hub captures an arsonist named Tater, uncovering a larger demonic plot. Episode 3: “Family Ties” Hub reconnects with his estranged family, seeking assistance in his mission. Episode 4: “Crossroads” A demon threatens a local community, forcing Hub to make a moral choice. Episode 5: “The Devil's Due” Hub confronts the consequences of his past actions as a bounty hunter. Episode 6: “Revelations” Hub uncovers a deeper conspiracy involving escaped demons and seeks help from Midge. Episode 7: “Pyralis” Hub and Midge attempt to prevent an apocalyptic event orchestrated by a powerful demon. Episode 8: “Lilith” Hub confronts his greatest sin and faces a formidable demonic adversary, seeking redemption.

In this spoiler-filled breakdown of Daredevil: Born Again Episode 9, Greg Alba, Coy Jandreau, and Aaron Alexander dive deep into what worked, what didn't, and where the show could go in Season 2. We debate if Foggy Nelson is really dead, explore fan theories, and pitch wild but grounded ideas for what the upcoming Punisher Special could tackle — from Frank Castle's symbolism to real-world parallels involving police and power. Then we shift gears into Fantastic Four discourse, analyzing Joseph Quinn and Vanessa Kirby's recent “controversial” quotes about Johnny Storm's bravado and Sue Storm's gender politics. Is Marvel avoiding real masculinity and nuance? What direction should they be taking? Plus: MCU tone shifts, comic accuracy vs. modernization, and which heroes might show up next season in Daredevil's new army.

They discuss the episode's pivotal scenes, including the Fisks' raw confessions and the escalating tension of Mayor Fisk's Black and White Ball, analyzing how the show balances gritty action with profound character-driven storytelling. The hosts also unpack the theological undertones, questioning whether Matt's faith can anchor him as he teeters on the edge of vengeance.

Welcome back to Collecting Issues – the comic book book club podcast – and our first episode of the year (even if it is March, don't @ us). This month, we're diving deep into one of the most iconic and influential superhero stories of all time: Daredevil: Born Again – collecting issues #227 to #233 from the 1986 Daredevil run, written by Frank Miller and drawn by David Mazzucchelli.In this extended breakdown, we take a long, winding look at the dismantling and resurrection of Matt Murdock, the defining portrayal of the Kingpin as a true menace, and the raw, uncompromising misery that Miller lathers onto every page. From gritty noir influences to intense Catholic imagery (and a nun who may or may not be Matt's mammy), we discuss the themes, legacy, and visuals of this masterwork – all while occasionally slandering Foggy Nelson and wondering what the hell Nuke is doing here.We also cover:The real golden age of Daredevil (hint: not the 1930s)Karen Page's tragic arc and women in 1980s comicsThe influence of Miller's crime storytelling and cinematic layoutsA very sweaty Kingpin in Speedos beating up six ladsWhat happens when a Daredevil comic becomes a Captain America comicShared universe highs and lowsAnd why Frank Miller definitely, absolutely, maybe just hates joyPlus, we ask the big questions: Did Miller create the heavy render era or just ride the wave? Is this still the definitive Daredevil story? And why won't Foggy just stop being the worst?This is a bumper episode, so get comfy, roll your eyes at how miserable it all is, and join us for one of the bleakest but most brilliant stories in superhero history.If you've got thoughts on Born Again or just want to shout at us for our hot takes, join the Collecting Issues Discord (link below) and let us know.

Daredevil: Born Again – Ethical Analysis and Critical ReviewIn this episode of Superhero Ethics, host Matthew Fox and comic book expert Jessica Plummer dive into their critical analysis of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+. As longtime fans of the original Netflix series, they explore how the new series departs dramatically from what made the original show compelling, starting with the shocking early death of Foggy Nelson.What fundamental character changes undermine the new series?The hosts discuss how Matt Murdock's willingness to kill represents a complete departure from his core character. In the original Netflix series, Matt's refusal to kill was central to his identity and moral code, particularly highlighted in his philosophical clashes with the Punisher. This sudden shift feels unearned and betrays the character's established ethics.How does the show mishandle Wilson Fisk's character?Matthew and Jessica examine how the show's portrayal of Wilson Fisk in therapy with Vanessa misunderstands what made the character compelling. They argue that Fisk's pure devotion to Vanessa was his most humanizing trait, and the new series undermines this by creating relationship problems that feel inauthentic to the characters.Is the political commentary coherent?The conversation tackles the show's attempt at political commentary through Fisk's mayoral campaign, which appears to be a Donald Trump allegory. Jessica argues that the show's politics are incoherent, particularly how it perpetuates right-wing talking points about crime rates while seemingly trying to critique right-wing figures.Other topics covered in this episode:The strange diner scene between Matt and Fisk that contradicts their established relationshipHow the show handles the White Tiger character and vigilantismThe inconsistent portrayal of police in the seriesContinuity issues and what viewers are expected to remember from other MCU propertiesThe production challenges that likely contributed to the show's problemsThe hosts conclude that Daredevil: Born Again suffers from fundamental incoherence in both storytelling and themes. Whether from creative committee decisions or production challenges, the result is a show that misunderstands what made the original Netflix series resonate with fans, leaving Matthew and Jessica disappointed with this new iteration of a once-beloved property. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Plus, we debate the impact of reshoots and speculate on upcoming cameos. Join us for this deep discussion on one of Marvel's most anticipated series!

Bullseye's return is brutal and true to the comics, making him a serious threat to Matt Murdock. Foggy Nelson's fate is one of the most emotional moments in the series so far. The cinematography is more expansive, allowing for larger action sequences compared to the Netflix version. Fisk's political ascent mirrors real-world themes, adding a chilling layer to his character. The show sets up exciting possibilities for new and returning Marvel characters. Memorable Quotes: “The entire time we hear Foggy's heartbeat, which means while he's fighting Bullseye, he's listening to see how Foggy is doing. That's how you tell a story with superpowers.” “The wider shots show Marvel Studios' budget at work, making this version of Daredevil feel bigger than ever.” “The scene where Matt walks through a chaotic New York, hearing the city's divided reaction to Fisk's win, is storytelling at its finest.” “Nothing about Matt's life feels quite right—he's not in Hell's Kitchen, he's not with Karen, and he's trying to be something he isn't.” Call to Action: Love this episode?

Daredevil: Born Again – Essential Character PrimerIn this episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew Fox and comic book expert Jessica Plummer break down everything you need to know about Daredevil before watching Daredevil: Born Again. Whether you're new to the character or just need a refresher on the Netflix series, this primer covers the essential elements that make Matt Murdock one of Marvel's most compelling characters.Who is Daredevil, and what makes him unique?Matt Murdock lost his sight as a child when toxic waste enhanced his other senses to superhuman levels. By day, he's a defense attorney at Nelson & Murdock with his best friend, Foggy Nelson. By night, he's Daredevil, a vigilante who uses his enhanced senses and ninja training to protect Hell's Kitchen. What separates Matt from other heroes is his constant moral struggle and complete lack of impulse control—he desperately wants to do the right thing but often makes impulsive decisions that damage his relationships and career.What role does Catholicism play in Daredevil's story?Matt's Catholic faith provides the moral framework for his vigilante actions. The show portrays his religious struggle authentically without reducing it to stereotypes. His conversations with his priest highlight his central conflict: "Are you afraid that you will have to kill this man and you don't want to? Or are you afraid that you won't have to kill this man and you want to?" This question encapsulates Matt's internal battle between justice and vengeance.How does Daredevil balance his dual life as lawyer and vigilante?The constant tension between working within the system as a defense attorney and operating outside it as a vigilante defines Matt's character. Season one explores whether he can trust the legal system to handle Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) or must take matters into his own hands. This struggle affects everyone in his life, especially Foggy Nelson, who keeps their law practice running while Matt disappears to fight crime.Other topics discussed:How the Netflix series portrays Hell's Kitchen and its gentrificationMatt Murdock's complicated romantic relationships and flirtatious tendenciesThe portrayal of Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin and his relationship with VanessaThe importance of Foggy Nelson as Matt's moral center and best friendHow Daredevil's disability is represented in the seriesThe connections between the Netflix series and the upcoming Disney+ showThe role of supporting characters like Karen Page and Claire TempleHow the Punisher serves as a foil to Daredevil's moral codeThe hosts wrap up by highlighting the unique male friendship between Matt and Foggy, noting how rare it is to see such emotionally complex male friendships portrayed on screen. As Daredevil: Born Again approaches, this primer gives viewers everything they need to understand what makes the Man Without Fear such a compelling and conflicted hero in the Marvel universe.LinksCheck out more of Jessica's work.Read her short story in Sword, Stone, Table, alongside works by other great authors.

Matt refuses to do so, wins the fight and saves Nyla with the help of Ben Urich Meanwhile Bullseye continues to pretend to be Daredevil and ruin his reputation, but is confronted and defeated by Murdock who's disguised as Bullseye. After taking on Bullet for one last time, Matt Murdock reunites with his friend and law partner Foggy Nelson – who's been working on getting Murdock's law license reinstated. As Daredevil and the Punisher deal with Taskmaster and Tombstone causing trouble, we see Kingpin and Typhoid Mary enter a deal with a General Strang, an investor who agrees to fund Fisk's media enterprises but secretly hopes to infiltrate Fisk's finances from within.

The year ends with the first 3 of 4 parts to the Last Rites story arc. In it, we see Daredevil causing division between Kingpin and Typhoid before having her committed. Then we see Nick Fury bring Matt Murdock into SHIELD and ask him for help taking down Kingpin and Hydra who's bankrolling his media enterprise. We then see the chess pieces put in place for a final showdown. The finale of this story is a giant double issue #300 we'll talk about in 1992.

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.

Synn, his two wives and a group of other followers have traveled to the United States. Many of the books this year chronicle Synn turning from a media darling to a wanted criminal hunted by Daredevil and Kingpin. It starts off in Assistant Editor's month where we meet Micah Synn, his group and Professor Horactio Piper who wants to Enlist Nelson & Murdock to help with legal documents for Synn and company. Synn gets arrested for stealing food and then attacking a store owner as well as 3 police officers, upon release one of Micah's wives walks into the street and is hit by a car. At the hospital, Synn attacks another office before Daredevil intervenes. One of the few detours from the Synn story, Daredevil takes on a new foe – The Trump – whom has one of Daredevil's childhood bullies is accused of helping. Daredevil stops Trump from taking a shipment of weapons. After being confronted by Foggy, Murdock drops Schmidt as a client. Back to Synn, An assassination attempt on the chief that has ties to his family is thwarted by Daredevil and Debbie Harris throws a party and becomes infatuated with the Synn. Next we meet Glorianna O'Breen, Debbie Harris' niece from Ireland, who is in New York over concerns she's in danger after her father is killed. Which turns out to be true. Daredevil saves her from being abducted and then saves her from a friend of her father's that turns out to be a killer called the Gael. Micah Synn and company crash a Christmas Party and Matt Murdock's house which leads to a stolen kiss with Debbie Harris and another battle between Daredevil (aided by Kingpin no less) and Synn. Another side story, As Daredevil must find a Russian defector and stolen microchip for Hydra in order to save a captured Black Widow. Daredevil finds the defector but not the chip and instead saves widow without it and the pair take down the Hydra agents who captured her. Next Daredevil stumbles into a murder house trap set by the mother of a former villain. This story will be our spotlight story for the week. Back to Synn, Chief Micah files a restraining order against Daredevil and his men have a run-in with Kingpin. During yet another battle between Synn and Daredevil, Synn learns of Murdock's secret. Micah captures Becky and Vanessa for a human sacrifice to his god; DD intervenes, but Vanessa is killed; Kingpin reveals that Vanessa was really an actress he hired to keep his wife safe; DD and Kingpin team-up to take down Micah. Matt Murdock holds a press conference to get the word out on Micah Synn, but his and Becky Blake's account is called into question by Foggy Nelson (at the urging of his wife Debbie). Harris then goes to Synn and professes her love to him and it's met with indifference and a needless slap to the face sending her to the ground. As the year ends, the story with Synn is still going. Harris remains captive by Synn. Professor Piper seems able to look the other way on Synn until a friend and colleague of his is inadvertently killed. Piper creates a diversion and frees Harris who returns home and tells him what happened with Synn. When Foggy goes to confront Synn, he finds Piper dead and Synn's men looking to fight. Daredevil arrives and makes quick work of the tribesmen, but they aren't able to find Micah Synn.

Episode 20 - Murdock and Marvel: 1982 Have you noticed that every year for about a decade we have been recounting the impending death of the comic industry, with sales seemly slipping another 10% and publishers falling to the wayside? I am happy to say that at least for Marvel this is the year that things started to turn around. Its 1982, and the Direct Market is showing its power as Marvel and others pile onboard the comic shop train. The Year in Comics Notable and Newsworthy Industry Trends Passings Eagle Awards Dan's Favorite The Year in Marvel Events & Happenings New Titles New Characters Series Ending Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Paul Smith Dan's Favorite The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #178-189, Power Man and Iron First #77, Defenders #103-106, Marvel Graphic Novel #1, Fantastic Four #242, Contest of Champions #1-3, Dazzler #21, Marvel Team-up #123, Incredible Hulk #277-278 Writing credits: Frank Miller (178-189), Roger McKenzie (183) Pencilers: Frank Miller (178-184), Klaus Jansen (181,185-189) The year begins with Kingpin trying to and successfully recruiting Elektra and Matt Murdock looking into Mayoral Candidate Randolph Cherryh as an intern has come forward with evidence he's working for Wilson Fisk. Meanwhile, Nelson and Murdock have a new office in a New York high rise. Elektra then “encourages” Daredevil and Ben Urich to drop the Cherryh/Fisk story he's about to run for the Daily Bugle. The latter getting a Sai in the chest. Despite this, Urich and Murdock realize Vanessa Fisk may still be alive and are able to find/rescue her from the King of the Sewers. Daredevil then hands her over to Fisk. In exchange, Cherryh (who was just elected Mayor of New York) is forced to resign his new post. Kingpin orders Elektra to kill Murdock's partner, Foggy Nelson, as payback. In a BIG double Issue narrated by Bullseye, we see the villain escape prison, learn Matt Murdock's secret, attack and kill Elektra before battling and losing to Daredevil which puts him in the hospital. This is our feature story this week. Murdock has trouble dealing with Elektra's death and starts acting out at work and as our horned hero. At one point he accuses Kingpin of hiding her. A young girl on drugs takes a dive out of her school window and dies, and her brother, DD and the Punisher are all trying to track down the dealer responsible; Matt proposes to Heather. Daredevil and the Punisher get into a fight over how to bring the dealer to justice. The cover blurb "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is a reference to the 1972 Alice Cooper song of the same name. This is a reworking of a story that was pulled because of code concerns Next Foggy begins to investigate why Heather's company is making bombs and this causes him to run up against both Eric Slaughter and the Kingpin; Daredevil ends up caught in an explosion that messes up his radar sense. That doesn't stop Murdock from gather evidence to take down Glenn Industries even as his other sense go haywire. Meanwhile He's also pressuring Heather to accept the proposal. As Daredevil's hyper senses continue to get worse and he seeks out Stick for help; In a fight with the Hand, the Black Widow is poisoned. The ninja villain Kirigi is reanimated, and his body is made whole from his previous decapitation by Elektra. (Kah Ear Ah Gee) Black Widow is dying of poison she got in a fight with the Hand and is desperately trying to find DD to help; Matt is recovering his hyper senses in an isolation chamber under the watchful eye of Stick and his ninja. The year ends with The Black Widow dying to the poison but then resurrected by Stone (Stick's right hand man); Daredevil and company have a free-for-all with the Hand, in which Stick gives his life to save Matt; Widow and Foggy break up Heather and Matt using handwritten notes; Stone tells Daredevil that the Hand is planning on resurrecting Elektra like they did Kirigi. Daredevil sales went up from 130,000 copies an issue in 1981 to 180,000 in 1982.

Episode 16 - Murdock and Marvel: 1978 This week Marvel starts to steady the ship, even as the Distinguished Competition is kneecapped by their corporate overlords. Prices go up! Prices go down! Great new companies sprout up! Established companies die! And as usual there are predictions about the impending death of comics. Welcome to 1978, everyone.

Meanwhile, another of New York's elite that was manipulated by Killgrave hires the Paladin to hunt down Killgrave as well. Eventually Daredevil and Paladin meet, briefly fight and part ways. After a bad dream, Murdock decides to come clean to Heather Glenn about his Daredevil secret and tell her that Maxwell Glenn is innocent and he's working to find the person responsible. While waiting for Heather to come home, he answers her phone and learns Maxwell Glenn has committed suicide in prison. When she arrives, he still comes clean and Heather blames Daredevil/Matt for everything including Maxwell Glenn's death. She then disappears. In the Marvel Two-In-One, Matt Murdock is called on to represent Ben Grimm as he's trial for causing too much damage in New York but leads to Daredevil briefly working for the Mad Thinker whom is out to get Grimm. However, with the Help of Vision and Yellowjacket, they are able to take down the villain. Knowing he can't fix his relationship with Heather, Daredevil orchestrates an intervention/meet-up between Debbie Harris and Foggy Nelson in Central Park – which leads to them deciding they are going to get married again. While in Central Park, Daredevil has another run-in with the Paladin. Next Daredevil is lured into a trap with Heather Glenn as the bait by Mister Hyde and Cobra. After a lengthy battle that includes the Billy Club being destroyed (again) and Hyde and Daredevil falling from the 12th floor of Glenn's apartment complex, Daredevil is captured. That leads to an epic final show-down in which Daredevil must take on the Jester, Gladiator, Hyde, Cobra (and briefly Paladin) who are under the influence of Killgrave. This will be our spotlight story for the week. The year ends with Daredevil experiencing mysterious headaches which is causing him trouble with his radar sense. We also learn Death-Stalker is working on a plan to get Daredevil. At the Storefront, Murdock interviews and hires a new assistant. During the walk to dinner, Murdock learns Black Widow is in town with the Avengers so he bails on Becky Blake and Foggy. As Daredevil, he invades Avengers mansion taking down Beast and Captain America and calls out Black Widow saying “She'll pay dearly” New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #154 September 1978 "Arena" Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway The Strange Case of Jack Kirby Questions or comments We'd love to hear from you!

Episode 15 - Murdock and Marvel: 1977 Its 1977, and this week we see the dawn of a number of very influential independent titles, and Marvel and DC continue to try to bash each other into the ground. Comics are gaining in popularity on TV, with THREE superhero shows now on the small screen, and Marvel catches a tiger by the tail as it agrees to do a comic book adaptation of a movie that is about to change everything for geek culture in America. Preshow Murdock & Marvel on a break for Duane's move. Next Show should be June 5th. Marvel Unlimited Show will return in the meantime. The Year in Comics Notable and Newsworthy Industry Trends Eagle Awards The Year in Marvel Overall it was a rough year, as delays and problems are rampant. This is evidenced by our own Daredevil, who only managed to get out 9 issues this year, after a decade of monthly releases. New Titles Series Ending New Characters Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Mike Zeck The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #141-149, Iron Fist #11, Marvel Team-Up #56, Avengers #159 and Marvel Comics Super Special #1 Marv Wolfman starts the year as writer, but Jim Shooter takes over with issue 144. Bob Brown also starts the year as artist but like Wolfman, would leave after issue 143 with 30 artist credits in the series. Later in 1977, Brown would lose his battle with Leukemia. Artist credits from 144-149 include Lee Elias, George Tuska, Gil Kane and Klaus Jansen. The year starts with Daredevil taking down Maxwell Glenn's assistant Stone after he takes a shot at Foggy Nelson. If that wasn't enough, Bulleye is back in town, captures Daredevil with the cunning use of a paper airplane (“In my hands anything is a deadly weapon”) and ties him to a giant crossbow arrow and fires him towards New Jersey. Though Daredevil is able to escape the death trap with the help of Nova. Next Daredevil must take on Cobra and Hyde who are again working together and trying to steal a new serum recipe from a couple who have a rooftop jungle (and a pet lion) in the middle of the city. The Owl breaks Man-Bull out of prison and asks him to be his bodyguard and kidnap a doctor who can help him regain the use of his legs. Once captured the doctor gives the Owl an exoskeleton which allows him to walk and fly. But it also has (unknown to the Owl) a flaw that Daredevil is able to exploit to defeat the villain. Next, we see Bullseye again set his sights on Daredevil. This time challenging him to a duel at a TV Studio while broadcasting it. With Daredevil's radar sense on the fritz due to a golf ball, Daredevil takes a beating (and being shot) Daredevil is finally able to take down Bullseye in the Studio's wrestling ring. When pressed who hired him, Bullseye says the name “Glenn”. Daredevil goes to confront Maxwell Glenn and he confesses to several crimes (including kidnapping Deborah Harris, Foggy's Fiancée) without much resistance. We learn that Killgrave was pulling the strings and after Harris is rescued, Maxwell Glenn is arrested. Daredevil realizes something is up and upon returning to Glenn's office he finds a secret door leading to Killgrave and a group of entranced business leaders. Killgrave escapes while Daredevil has to fight through the group. On the search for Killgrave and a way to clear Maxwell Glenn's name, Daredevil runs into Death-Stalker instead. Death-Stalker creates a new Smasher in an attempt to take down his foe. The two have fight on a rooftop and then a final battle in an alley where Daredevil causes Smasher to drop a garbage bin on himself. As the year ends, Heather Glenn decides to leave Matt Murdock because he wasn't there for her during the whole ordeal with her father. And Debbie Harris will not see or talk to Foggy as she's still in shock from her kidnapping. As a preview at the end of issue 149, we see the message: Next: Daredevil's Landmark 150th issue, introducing the power of Paladin and possibly the most shattering shock ending ever!

Episode 13 - Murdock and Marvel: 1975 It's 1975. Things are improving a bit in the world but in comics the race continues to fill up newsstands. With that, we start seeing more company causalities if you weren't D.C. or Marvel. We have 2 comic gods duking it out in the rookie of the year and in the spotlight this week, we see Daredevil take on... A comic book character!?!?! Preshow Recap of Dan and Sienna's C2E2 and their panel The Year in Comics The Big Stories Industry Trends 1975 Top 10 comics The Year in Marvel Average of about 40 comics per month published, for a total of 474. Most were in the Marvel Universe. Tons of new titles, and also tons of cancellations. They were trying for new markets and new readers. New Titles (and lots of reprints) Series Ending New Characters Big Moments Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: John Byrne The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #117-128, Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #8, Giant-Size Defenders #3, Thor #233, Defenders #24-25 A number of writers worked on Daredevil this year: Starting with Chris Claremont and Steve Gerber in 117, Gerry Conway in 118, Tony Isabella in 119-122, Len Wein and Marv Wolfman in 124. Marv Wolfman finished the year as writer. William Robert (Bob) Brown provides art for most of those and is joined by Klaus Jansen starting with issue #124 The year starts with the Owl trying to steal Daredevils mind but he agrees to release him if Black Widow kidnaps someone – who turns out to be Shanna the She-Devil. The two women work together to trick the Owl and save Daredevil. Daredevil lost his billy club at the end of last year, but it returns thanks to Ivan Petrovich. Though Black Widow returns to San Francisco. Next Daredevil takes on the Circus of Crime and saves New York City from being hypnotized and lose all their money. Though one member – Blackwing gets away. Daredevil then sees Pop Fenton, his dad's old trainer, and attempts to save him and his former boxer – now priest – Father Gawaine from Juan Aponte who's been working with a doctor who's recreated Iron Man villain the Crusher strength formula. After the battle, he dies in Pop Fenton's arms. New Years arrives and Black Widow comes to visit and they attend a New Year's Eve party thrown by Foggy Nelson – though Widow isn't happy about it. Though it was for the best because agents of Hydra attack being led by El Jaguar. We learn they are after Foggy because SHIELD is intending to have him join their advisory committee. Eventually Foggy is captured by Hydra when Foggy gives himself up to save Black Widow from the Dreadnought. Black Widow and Daredevil scour the city looking for Foggy and end up fighting El Jaguar and Blackwing who turns out to be the son of Supreme Hydra – Silvermane – as Fury's forces head into a trap. They are able to avoid the trap with Life Model Decoys. In a final battle with Hydra, the Black Widow destroys the Dreadnought by shooting it in its only weak spot. Daredevil then goes up against Jackhammer and easily defeats him. El Jaguar is knocked out by Dum Dum Dugan, and Man-Killer is incapacitated when Ivan places a jamming device on her exoskeleton. With their plan failing, Blackwing and Silvermane make a hurried escape and the remaining Hydra agents are captured. Next Daredevil takes on Copperhead – a real life recreation of a 1930s comic book. This two book arc is this week's spotlight. A new Torpedo show up looking to complete an important mission but when he's killed during a battle with Daredevil, former pro quarterback Brock Jones takes the costume and wants to complete the mission. Those two then fight as Jones attempts to explain the mission. In the process they destroy the home of an innocent family. When the mother yells at them for the destruction, they stop fighting and leave. As the year ends, Murdock says he's done being Daredevil but it doesn't last long as he's needed to take on Death-Starker who's stealing artifacts from museums in an attempt to build a powerful weapon. In their final battle, Death-Stalker ends up disappearing while standing on a platform near a mysterious Sky-Walker.

Episode 12 - Murdock and Marvel: 1974 Well, here we are in 1974, when Richard Nixon leaves the White House in shame in real life even as he is shown to be leading a secret criminal organization in the Marvel universe. The economy is a mess, crime is up, and comics are affected in all sorts of ways. Preshow Reminder about Dan and Sienna's C2E2 Panel Saturday, April 27th from 10:30am – 11:30am. Room S405-B The Year in Comics The Big Stories Shazam Winners (final year) Comic Fan Art Awards (formerly Goethe Awards) The Year in Marvel Marvel published 86 different titles in 1974, including 9 new quarterly “Giant-Size” books, resulting in anywhere from 31 to 50 different Marvel titles hitting the stands each month. New Titles (and lots of reprints) Series Ending New Characters Big Moments Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: George Perez The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #107-116, Man-Thing #1, Marvel Two-in-One #3, Marvel Team-Up #25 Steve Gerber (writer) and William Robert (Bob) Brown (art) were the main creative pair for most of the year. Sal Buscema on art in Marvel 2-in-1. Gene Colan returned to go art on #112 and #116. Captain Marvel comes to the aid of Daredevil and Black Widow in their attempt to take down Kerwin Broderick and his Terrex. But it is Moon Dragon amplifying Angar's powers that trap the Terrex in a black void where it is killed along with Broderick. During all this we learn that Captain O'Hara's brother has died in Africa Next Daredevil takes on the Beetle while Moon Dragon hangs out at the Daredevil/Black Widow Mansion. Daredevil then heads back to New York after hearing about an assassination attempt on Foggy Nelson. We also learn Foggy has a sister named Candice. We learn the Beetle was hired by the Black Spectre criminal organization who are looking to overthrow the US government and attempt to forcefully recruit Daredevil and Black Widow to their cause. In the 2-in-1, Daredevil and Thing board the Black Spectre Zeppelin in an attempt to confront their leader, but it doesn't go well and they have to flee. Daredevil is finally able to unmask the Black Spectre leader and it's an apish mutant known as the Mandrill. Shanna and Daredevil are captured by another hired villain, Silver Samurai, and brought back to the Zepplin where they find Black Widow has also been kidnapped and is being mind controlled. The final showdown with Mandrill and Black Spectre comes in Washington D.C. at the White House after Daredevil is able to snap Black Widow from her mind control. Black Widow and Shanna are able to defeat Nekra when she's distracted by the explosion and Daredevil defeats Mandrill on the white house roof after he falls – but no body of the mutant is found. Next Matt Murdock/Daredevil go to Florida in search of Gladiator and Candice Nelson – whom he kidnapped. The trail takes him to the Everglades where he finds Candice but also Death Stalker – whom hired Gladiator to get the project notes. Death Stalker captures Daredevil but the Man-Thing intervenes which ultimately saves Daredevil from the Gladiator. Death Stalker heads to New York and tries to lure Murdock/Daredevil into a trap with the help of Foggy Nelson, but it doesn't go as planned and Death Stalker escapes. Foggy and Matt hide Candice at Matt's hotel. A final confrontation takes place in a chemical plant with Daredevil using his Billy Club to know Death Stalker into a vat of acid (along with the project notes). The year ends with Daredevil returning to San Francisco to help Black Widow and her financial woes, but the pair are attacked and defeated by the Owl. He loads the unconscious heroes on his chopper so he can deal with them as he sees fit.

Episode 10 - Murdock and Marvel: 1972 This week it seems everything is coming up Marvel, as Stan Lee and his expanding young team seem to be flooding the market, but a lot of other interesting things happened around the comic world. Preshow Marvel Snap new season: Thunderbolts https://www.marvelsnap.com/newsdetail?id=7296765558303775494 The Year in Comics Superheroes take a bit of a back stage...

Stan Lee starts as editor to start the year, but Roy Thomas takes over in issue #91. Stan Lee is still named in the other issues as “presenting”. The year starts with Daredevil trying to convince Black Widow to trust the police and his friend the District Attorney and she ultimately goes to prison. The case is eventually dismissed because the body of Scorpion was lost in an explosion during a battle between Daredevil and Mr. Hyde. I should note that we aren't actually sure if there ever was a body. A plot to blackmail Foggy Nelson by Mr. Klein causes him to resign as District Attorney. Yet he seems to have remained D.A.? Not sure what happened there. In the Hulk books, Matt Murdock represents Bruce Banner and ends up angering the Hulk despite trying to follow Bruce Banners wishes and getting his client a fair trial. Black Widow heads to Switzerland and meets with a doctor who says they can restore sight to the blind. She calls Murdock in New York and he heads there only to find out the doctor was Mr. Klein/MK-9/The Assassin. We learn the android is a being known as Baal from the future who's traveled back in time to stop the end of humanity. Two Executioners from Baal's time arrive and kill him during a final confrontation. Next, Daredevil and Black Widow take on the Gladiator during their flight back to the U.S. They are able to defeat him and his accomplices with Daredevil then landing the plane. Back in New York, It looked like Karen Page and her Agent Phil were going to end up together in California but upon arriving in New York, Matt runs into Karen at the airport and the two share a kiss and an embrace, causing heartache to Natasha. Daredevil takes on the Ox after his release from prison but during the battle, the Ox's radiation builds up to a point that he explodes. After the battle, Karen admits to Matt that she still cannot handle him being Daredevil, and leaves him to return to L.A. Matt then rekindles his romance with the Black Widow and the two move to San Francisco. Once in San Fran, the two must take on Electro and Killgrave separately before the two team up in an effort to take down Daredevil – none of which actually works. The team-up issue will be our Spotlight issue this week. Black Widow talks about Danny French and Project 4 from her past with Daredevil and Ivan Petrovich and thinks it may be related to bouts of fear that is causing issues with them crime fighting. Turns out it was a new Mr. Fear whom Daredevil confronts and takes down at Jason Sloan's law office. Starting with issue 92, The covers list the title as “Daredevil and the Black Widow” The year ends with Daredevil and Black Widow taking on Indestructible Man who's after the Project 4 sphere. The final battle goes poorly until Danny French throws a spear at the glove providing Damon Dran's powers. The resulting explosion destroys Dran's powers and seemingly kills Drann. However, this victory comes at a cost, Danny bore the brunt of the explosion and dies in Black Widow's arms with Daredevil looking on.

Disney is pretty much starting over with Daredevil: Born Again, and recent leaks suggest they're making it a direct follow-up to the Netflix series by adding Foggy Nelson and Karen Page back into the mix. Can they fix what was reportedly a TRAIN WRECK? Speaking of which, another rumor says Iron Fist might also be returning, but with a FEMALE lead... ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 ➡️ Gaming News: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A7VIqE3r5MQkFgL9nifNc Additional Context: In the ever-evolving world of superhero entertainment, Disney is taking a bold step with "Daredevil: Born Again." This upcoming series, set to premiere on Disney+, is generating buzz with rumors that it will be a direct continuation of the acclaimed Netflix series "Daredevil." Fans are curious to see how Disney will handle this transition, especially considering the mixed reactions to the original series' final season. The Netflix version of "Daredevil," starring Charlie Cox as the titular blind lawyer-turned-vigilante, was widely praised for its gritty tone, compelling storytelling, and intense action sequences. However, its abrupt cancellation left many storylines unresolved, leading to disappointment among its devoted fanbase. With "Daredevil: Born Again," Disney has the opportunity to address the lingering issues and give fans the closure they crave. The challenge, however, lies in maintaining the dark and mature themes that made the original series a hit while aligning with Disney's typically more family-friendly approach. If recent leaks are to be believed, Disney seems committed to embracing the spirit of the Netflix series, potentially creating a seamless transition for the fans. Adding to the intrigue, there's another rumor swirling around the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) – the potential return of "Iron Fist," but with a twist. Speculation suggests that the character, previously portrayed by Finn Jones in the Netflix series, might be reimagined with a female lead. This move could breathe new life into the character, addressing some of the criticisms faced by the original series, particularly regarding its handling of cultural representation and martial arts authenticity. Both "Daredevil: Born Again" and the rumored "Iron Fist" reboot represent Disney's continued efforts to integrate the Netflix Marvel characters into the broader MCU. By potentially continuing the storylines and possibly recasting key roles, Disney is signaling its commitment to both honoring the source material and pushing the envelope. As with any beloved franchise, the pressure is on for Disney to deliver something that satisfies both longtime fans and new viewers. The question remains: can they pull it off and redeem what some considered a "train wreck"? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – the MCU is about to get even more interesting.

Daredevil and Black Widow try to rescue Foggy Nelson from the clutches of Hydra.
Daredevil is not the only Netflix series confirmed now as MCU canon - the entire Defenders saga can be seen within the MCU Timeline on Disney+. This is a big deal for fans of the Netflix shows who have called for them to be canonized for years. The Defenders shows fit into the timeline starting with Daredevil after I Am Groot and ending with The Punisher before Doctor Strange. There's also a rumor Deborah Ann Wolf and Elden Hansen are set to return as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson in Daredevil: Born Again. Trekkies will soon see their favorite franchise back on the big screen with director Toby Haynes on the bridge in the captain's chair. Haynes recently directed several episodes of the Star Wars hit show Andor.With Seth Grahame-Smith writing and JJ Abrams' Bad Robot producing, it has been 8 years since the last Star Trek movie - though this one is to take place decades before the 2009 Star Trek movie plot. Paramount has had recent Star Trek success in the television world, streaming Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Picard, and Discovery. Though this prequel may not show the Chris Pine-led cast we are used to seeing, there are still plans to have a final movie with that crew in the future. We keep talking about Tom Cruise and now for an even bigger announcement…a Top Gun 3 movie is officially in development to bring back that loving feeling. Top Gun: Maverick writer Ethan Kruger is already writing for the new installment and sources report director Joe Kosinski will also be back to pilot the film. This news comes to us shortly after the partnership announced with Cruise and Warner Bros. Discovery. Top Gun: Maverick raked in an astounding $1.5 billion in 2022 and Cruise looks like he's willing to continue the legacy with a third film. Rumors are flying that DC Studios will begin their search for a Supergirl actress soon. In the mix for frontrunners we have Milly Aycock of house of the dragon, Emilia Jones from Coda and Locke and Key, and Meg Donnelly of the Zombies franchise and DC Animation where she plays supergirl. James Gunn and Peter Safran announced the Supergirl, Woman of Tomorrow movie in 2022 based on the comics by Tom King. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, the director and writer of the 2002 zombie horror film 28 Days Later, are reuniting for 28 Years Later, a sequel to the original. The pair are hoping to launch a trilogy of films set in the universe. Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss opened up for the first time about their canceled Star Wars movie in the cover story for last week's Hollywood Reporter, stating that the concept for their film dealt with the rise of the first Jedi and how the Jedi Order came to be. The Last of Us Season 2 has cast Beef star Young Mazino as Jesse. The series is expected to start production soon. Isabela Merced has also been cast as Dina. Barbie and Shang-Chi star Simu Liu will host the 2024 People's Choice Awards which will air live on NBC, E!, and Peacock on February 18. Director David Gordon Green, who was initially set to direct a sequel to last year's Exorcist: Believer titled Exorcist: Deceiver, has exited the project. Universal originally planned for the film to hit theaters on April 18, 2025, but the timetable is now unclear as the studio searches for a new director. Noah Hawley, the showrunner of the upcoming FX series "Alien," revealed in an interview that the series is set on Earth approximately 70 years in the future, preceding the events of the original film series. Despite discussions with Ridley Scott, Hawley explained that he won't incorporate the backstory from "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant" into his series, expressing a preference for the original films' retro-futuristic technology over the more advanced tech featured in the prequels.
As Daredevil continues to struggle to develop its voice as a title, the characters continue to evolve and transform into the heroes we know them as today. In Daredevil #9, Matt gets his first “you-may-get-your-sight-back” story as well as the first DD villain who never shows up again – in fact, never even sees mention again. Klaus Kreuger acts as a rough Doctor Doom stand-in, and finds himself slipped into Matt & Foggy's past, and then just as easily slips right back out again. But of course, regardless of anything else, Matt's struggles against ableism are far from over. Next – Daredevil continues to transform as a title before The Billy Club's eyes! Join Nico and Tori as they take a look at Wally Wood's Daredevil script, a story taking DD from his previous element to the next stage of his storytelling – a crime/superhero hybrid! The Organizer recruits The Organization (convenient!) featuring Cat-Man, Frog-Man, Bird-Man, & Ape-Man to cause a crimewave as Foggy Nelson becomes a political figure. In some ways, these are the base elements of what will become Daredevil's building blocks going forward, but at the same time, this silly story never moves to where it needs to to sustain the Crimson Crusader and his place in the Marvel Universe! Then – Well, we knew this was coming. In an effort to create more Daredevil, Daredevil stops being Daredevil, exactly. Daredevil makes the switch to monthly and in, to accommodate additional issues, a three-part story about Ka-Zar completely replaces the title. It's a weird choice. Ka-Zar, while a staple of the Marvel Universe, is not a great fit for Daredevil and the weird dynamic created by forcing Daredevil into a story in his own title meant to facilitate crafting a bigger picture for the burgeoning comic line, Daredevil truly begins to get lost in the lack of an identity presented by being not-quite-Spider-Man-for-adults. Last – It's been an exciting weekend for Daredevil fans!! Your Billy Club hosts Nico & Tori couldn't be more thrilled about all of the amazing news that came from San Diego ComicCon this year, so we've put together a little reaction special just to talk about it! Don't worry, they'll be back with their usual DD deep dives on our next installment. Until then, stay fearless!
