Daredevil: Road Warrior #1

[arbre_rieur]

"I said there were two Marvel heroes whose adventures would be perfectly suited to digital - Dr. Strange and Daredevil. The ability working in digital lends to showcasing the bizarre, unusual ways in which both of them view the world - that was a big lure for me." -- Mark Waid

(Keep in mind that ROAD WARRIOR is a digital comic, where the pages are meant to replace each other on one's screen. Seeing them instead lined up vertically, one on top of another, like in this post, makes for an awkward reading experience at times.)



















Because of some frightful turbulence, everyone's hearts start thumping like crazy.





The weather's bad enough that the plane has to make an unscheduled stop in Milwaukee.

"You're one of those people who can detect that I'm not baseline human! Why are there so many of you?"

No heartbeat? I wonder if "them" is referring to Twilight fans.

[drtechnobabel]

I like to imagine that by 'them' he meant 'bathroom perverts'.

I kind of want to know where Matt was going with that conversation.

"Excuse me for prying, sir, but I can't help but notice your complete lack of any kind of heartbeat. So, uh... what's up with that?"

[remial]

it's more common then you think. I have that conversation at least twice a day.

no wait, that's lack of a soul. nevermind.

[cainofdreaming]

I have the opposite problem. They always inquire why I have so many. And why I'm keeping them in the cookie jar.

Because you ran out of room in the laundry basket, naturally!

[beyondthefringe]

Oh Matt. Just get in the stall next to him and tap your foot, like everyone else...

I mean... what?

Seriously: blind man follows stranger into men's room...hilarity ensues.

I find it hilarious that the guy had no way to actually tell that Murdock was going to ask him about his heartbeat (you know, since most people can't listen to each other's heartbeats from a distance), yet his first reaction to an obviously blind man asking him 'excuse me, can I talk to you about something?' is to immediately freak out and blow any cover he might have had by jumping through a brick wall screaming at the top of his lungs. I mean, what if Murdock just wanted directions? Or the time of day? Or some change?

It could just be that he recognizes Matt as DD, given that he just confirmed his secret identity in a court of law probably days ago (within the comic's time frame). While the news cycle would eventually die down, it's hard to see how an informed person wouldn't recognize Matt as a super hero aka 'one of them' (costumed perverts).

That's Man-bull in the first scan right? I get that he's supposed to seem intimidating, but ever since someone posted this:

The first thing that came to mind was "bull-ride".

It's an airport bathroom. The poor guy must assume Matt's a homophobic republican congressman.
