But the Mole Man gets the upper hand.

Oh, hello ambiguously intentioned, depressing Matt Murdock story.

We sort of... missed you?

[glprime]

Well said.

[darrylayo]

Gross.

(terrific comic but gross)

[biod]

This is gloomy and all, but I'm just kind of happy Tyrannus gets a mention after so long. When was the last time he showed up?

[terrykun]

Not terribly long ago. Sometime in the past year of Incredible Hulks? He was dating Betty.

[jcbaggee]

Yeah, he was in the final arc of Incredible Hulks hunting...not Pandora's Box, but that...jar...thing. I can't recall exactly.

Long story short, AIM ended up creating an actual working wishing well, but of the literal genie variety., and Tyrannus was all like "Pffft. N00bs. I've been around long enough to know the only way to win against something like this is not to play."

WOW, that is DARK stuff, Mark. Well written, but DANG.

Daredevil: IT'S THE LAW, HARVEY!!!!
Batman: Hey, that's my line!
Comissioner Gordon: I sometimes say it as well!

[mullon]

THis feels like something the police should get in one, since there are so many bodies down there.

... Hey... kids... comix?

[crabby_lioness]

So, it was wrong when Harvey did this to Lorna but okay when Matt did it to Elektra?

As distasteful as this is, it seems to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

I don't recall Matt stealing an entire graveyard, personally. Though yeah, creepy.

[crabby_lioness]

Harvey says he felt the need to make "a grand gesture" by exceeding what's been done before, but Matt was the one who started the trend in Daredevil.

True, desecrating a beloved's grave goes back to Celtic ballads, if not further. But the first person to put his foot on this particular slippery slope at this particular place was Murdock.

[blackruzsa]

Did he actually, you know...
Or was it never really clarified? Because it seems to me that just looking at her isn't a bad thing at all.

Of course, this'll be the point someone will tell me he was doing the nasty with the body and I'll say that it still doesn't seem to me like such a bad thing at all. but don't mind me, I've just been hanging around the sensitive NSFW of the NSFW fics too much.

[pyrotwilight]

I doubt it. Mole Man's quirky but he's really just a lonely guy who doesn't know the right way to do farewells and that's all this seems to be.

[leoboiko]

He just looked at her, and that’s not a bad thing at all. The bad thing was to steal and desecrate the entire town cemetery in order to find her.

[greenmask]

"Nothing. She's dead"

Excellent writing.

[disclaimer: not sarcasm]

[filthysize]

I like the idea, but that line is a bit too set-up by Matt's lengthy multiple guesses. Still, this is really good stuff.

[skemono]

I liked that part, too. It's nice to see a villain who can let things go, instead of the usual "You gave me regular coke when I asked for diet! I shall hunt you to the ends of the earth! Though it takes a thousand years, I shall have my revenge!"

Kinda ruined by his shrieking at Daredevil later on, though.

[mrosa]

I thought so too. And Daredevil's expression in reaction that was excellent. I'm loving the art in this series.

[sherkahn]

We knew that the darkness in Daredevil was returning. We're getting a peak at what's to come.

[dr_archeville]

Harvey? I thought Mole Man's name was Rupert?

[pyrotwilight]

His full name is Harvey Rupert Elder according to wikipedia. Somehow I thought it was Melvin myself.

So Waid's avoiding the depressing Matt, but still aiming at Matt's character. Good choice, IMO.
