Kingpin #2

[cyberghostface]

"We also are trying to show a little more of who Kingpin is behind the crime. We want to see his compassionate side, find out why he does what he does, what he cares about. He’s still a bad man, but he’s not *just* a bad man." -- Matthew Rosenberg

"Sorry, Electra already claimed the foreword."

"There can be two."

"Two forewords? Who even does that?"

"He's a big man. It's going to be a big book."

"...you'll have to speak to my publisher."

I know it's the character's original design, but depicting Wilson Fisk as though he has Hulk-style gigantism with the disproportionate hands and feet always strikes me as... cartoonish and odd.

Yeah the hands are a bit ott. I like Maleev's Kingpin in the latter half of Bendis's run. Still large and imposing but realistically so.

I'm guessing I'm not the only that reads Fisk's lines in Vincent D'Onofrio's voice.

Still Roscoe Lee Browne for me.

Motto. When someone does an iconic version of a character I've loved, they usually inherit that voice when I read them afterwards. There are occasional exceptions to that rule.

For example, I love (loved?) Hugh Jackman as Wolverine...but when I read comics, I hear Stephen Blum's voice, bub.

Chime me in for Roscoe, as to Wolverine I still use Cal Dodd.
