Daredevil #109 – Review

By Ed Brubaker & Greg Rucka (writers), Michael Lark & Stefano Gaudiano (artists), and Matt Hollingsworth (colorist) There have been a lot of negative reviews on WCBR lately, and I was hoping I could turn in an upbeat review (C’mon guys, X-Men #500 wasn’t that bad), but sadly the latest issue of Daredevil can only [...]

Daredevil #108 – Capsule Review

By Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka (writers), Michael Lark (pencils), Stefano Guadiano (inks), Matt Hollingsworth (colors) I’m not sure who to thank for getting this book back on track, but if it’s Greg Rucka, then his presence is most welcome.

Daredevil #105 – Review

By Ed Brubaker (writer), Michael Lark, Paul Azaceta & Stefano Gaudiano (art), Matt Hollingsworth (colors) Like Brian Bendis’ run on Daredevil, Ed Brubaker really knows how to hurt and torture our hero.

Daredevil #104 – Review

By: Ed Brubaker (Writer), Michael Lark (Pencils) I have a problem with Daredevil. In fact, I’ve had a problem with Daredevil for maybe a year now. They read too fast!
