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 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.

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.

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

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.
