Daredevil #12

[brooms]

Super cute (the art :3 ) self-contained issue about how Matt and Foggy became friends.

Idgaf about Foggy and I loved it, tbh.



From the preview pages (easier to screencap :[):



Matt finally goes on a date with ADA Kirsten! Enlists the help of a bodyguard:



Ms Kirsten asks Matt if Foggy is his bff, and Matt tells the story about how they met in Columbia. They were roommates, ofc, but first impressions were NOT GOOD - at least Matt's impression of Foggy wasn't, anyway. (Understandable, imo, Foggy looks like he smells.) But then they were united by UNJUST ACCUSATIONS! Foggy was accused of plagiarizing a paper, you see. Matt and honorable judge Bobble to the rescue:



I hate making screencaps from comixology omg :[ BUT CUTE BOOK, WORTH IT!!!

I thought Murdock would have learned to stop dating.

[brooms]

he should just date jen walters

[leoboiko]

…yes. yes. definitely yes.

[darkknightjrk]

But...I don't want to see her die. :(

[sherkahn]

She can take Herc, I don't think Matt will offer anything too damaging... oh, you are talking about something else.

[darkknightjrk]

Matt does have the Magic Stick--his just happens to be the same variety as John Constantine's.

[quatoria]

Does that make fridging an STD? Could all this misery have been avoided if Matt just wore magic-proof condoms? Why did I follow this train of thought?

[cf105]

I'd say yes? Was/is Kyle Rayner also contaminated only fanon knows!

Also what should we call this STI?

[jaybee3]

Have they ever done that? If not, I'm surprised no one's thought of it before.

[kenwyn89]

He learnt to get a bodyguard is what I read here.

[thatnickguy]

I know I've said this before, but...

I miss Milla. =(

[brooms]

she was one of my least favorites or matt's girlfriends', ngl :/ behind only karen.

i kinda cheered when she was written off even if the WAY she was written off was horrible.

[blackruzsa]

But she was his wife ):

[blackruzsa]

Me too :(
I never liked Karen. Or... whatshername the first girlfriend...

And I may get lynched for this, but I didn't like Elektra either.

[brooms]

karen was the first, in publication chronology.

and lol it's very common to dislike elektra. bendis himself doesn't. most dd fans nowadays don't, either.

milla was super popular. i don't really understand why, tbh, but i'm the sort of person who doesn't understand why mj and the 352941 robins are so popular, so yeah. i'm just wired wrong.

[blackruzsa]

Well I read the entire run of her.... up until before she went crazy, so I guess that's it.

[randyripoff]

Kirsten is so dead. Maybe Waid won't kill her, but you bet the next writer will. He or she will also bring back the Hand, the Kingpin and Bullseye, becasue "that's how Daredevil rolls".

[brooms]

lol and they were ambushed while sharing a kiss at the end of this issue.

that said, i'll be surprised if waid makes a forever girl out of kirsten, i think she's just a really fun hook-up.

at least i hope so. i already like her more than i liked milla, but if there's one guy i wish would keep his dating within the superhero community, it's matt.

[randyripoff]

Ah, but it's not Matt's fault. He isn't the one writing his stories.

[brooms]

lol i know! i'm just salty that superheroes-dating-superheorines never became a THING (well, outside the mutant community). i can never quite cheer for hero/damsel pairings, especially not in cases like matt's.

then again, my otp for matt is elektra and she wasn't a civilian and she still died, welp. :[

[randyripoff]

I think the real problem is that ever since Elektra, every other writer that's done Daredevil wants to give him that same "dead girlfriend angst". Much like the "mutant angst" it gets old pretty quickly.

[brooms]

that is indeed the real problem, but i'm just not here anymore for hero/civilian lady romantic couples in general, you know? even when they abstain from fridging the lady. i don't even care for spidey/mj and lois/clark. they just don't work for me, idk why.

oh wait, tony/pepper in the movies do! but that's about it.

[jlbarnett]

but always pairing superheroes, doesn't it get to the point where it feels like they're only together because of their powers

[brooms]

lol are you asking if it feels like that *to me*? not really. do people who date and marry within their own ethnic/ethno-religious group get together ONLY because they belong to the same ethnic/ethno-religious group? idts.

i dig the equality, it's just a dynamic that appeals to me more than super-hero/civilian gf.

[darkknightjrk]

I think part of the problem is that a lot of them generally use the same trope of "oh noes my girl/boyfriend's been kidnapped/assaulted/murdered by my arch nemesis!" Which can happen to super-powered partners, too, but then they have more of a shot of making it out with little to know injury or psychological trauma.

[biod]

This continues to prove that Matt's blindness has only been an asset when it comes to women.
Too bad everything else is out to kill them the moment either partner shows interest.

[darkknightjrk]

It's interesting...I like the character interaction and the art...but the main story I'm just having problems caring about. I REALLY wish they'd just finished off this whole Megacrime thing with the Omega Effect.

[crabby_lioness]

Can we have a college series please?

[brooms]

i legit wanted one of those for xavier and magneto :( i'm still otp-ing them from first class. maybe with some doctor strange on the side, ilhim.

but i bet it would be fun with any of the regular casts from the titles being published rn. isn't avengers mansion kinda of a frathouse anyway.

[glprime]

DD: I'm going on a date.
Spidey: With Black Cat?
DD: No.
Spidey: I'll do it.

:D

That's how you use existing continuity as a plus, not a minus, writers.

[mastermahan]

I really like the "trying-to-prove-he's-Daredevil" flirting they have going on. It's like Silver Age Lois and Clark, only I don't think Lois ever flashed Clark.

[korvar]

What precisely is Spider-Man hanging from in his panel?

[stolisomancer]

As you may know if you played Marvel vs. Capcom 3, one of Spider-Man's less-known powers is the ability to make his webs stick to anything, including atmospheric conditions.
