Daredevil #11

"Chris Samnee really wanted to do Stunt-Master. I don’t know why, but he really wanted to do Stunt-Master. He really wanted to do an Evil Knievel guy on a motorcycle and I’m fine with that, that’s issues 11 and 12..." -- Mark Waid

Hmm, in my opinion this is one of those brilliant issues that are just hard to capture in a scan selection. This one was just so good.

Re: the quote, well, thank you Samnee, your weird craving for an obscure character produced a great two-parter.

Jesus. I never thought I'd care about a character called Stunt-Master, but that is absolutely heartbreaking.

I hope Old Real Stuntmaster was pulling a stunt…

I feel like the end of the Waid run is approaching, which worries me, because I really like Kristen McDuffie, and historically Matt's girlfriends have come to bad ends when the writers change.

Agreed there. Kristen's pretty awesome, but the chances of her surviving a creative team change are scarily small.

And it's not just that the creative team is changing either, I think Daredevil's in for some major changes in terms of what kind of series it is. With what I suspect will be a dark tone in the Netflix show, combined with Kirsten McDuffie probably not making the transition to live action, and Marvel's current obsession with synergy, I feel like the best thing that can happen to her at this point is getting put on a bus.

I can't see a motorcyclist with a scarf these days and not immediately think Kamen Rider.
