Daredevil #10.1

/ / Comics

daredevil-10-1-coverI dislike zero issues. Even more so I dislike the idea of Marvel’s .1 issues, and yet somehow the House of Ideas has gotten me to shell out money for both over seven days. Honestly, other than Moon Knight (a book going away far too soon), I can’t imagine I’d have picked up another .1 issue. But this is Mark Waid’s Daredevil, and (as I expected) I got my money’s worth.

Most of the comic deals with Matt Murdock visiting Pyromania who, much to Murdock’s amusement, embellishes the tale of how Daredevil took him down before attempting to use the lawyer as a hostage to get out of prison. By the time the guards arrive Murdock is unharmed and unaware of how the super-villain ended up beaten to a pulp on the floor of the conference room.

The issue also moves forward the Omegadrive storyline (far more so than the last few regularly numbered issues) as Daredevil uses the device to burn Black Spectre for sending the Black Cat to steal it.

Stormwatch #8

/ / Comics

In the last two issues the new team of writer Paul Jenkins and artist Ignacio Calero have breathed some new life into one of DC’s most inconsistent titles. Next month writer Peter Milligan takes over the writing duties and it seems the art will alternate bewteen Calero and original (and unimpressive) title artist Miguel A Sepulveda. For now, however, we get one pretty good story that pits the Stormwatch team against the Gravity Miners and two of the team’s most dangerous members against each other.

I actually liked the scenes between Jenny Quatum and Midnighter, you know, before he tried to kill her and all. Although the logic of the Midnighter’s turn works okay, it’s not sold as well as I’d like and something this big (we’ve already had one traitor on the team) should have been foreshadowed. That said, I’m curious to see what the New 52’s view of a pissed off pre-teen Spirit of the 21st Century might look like.

The comic’s still rough in a several areas, but I like how Jenkins used the characters over the past two issues (with exception of another decidedly insipid Jack Hawksmoor subplot). Worth a look.

Bones‘ T.J. Thyne stars as a man who begins to experience his life out of chronological order in Kurt Kuenne‘s first non-documentary feature, the very Twilight Zone-ish Shuffle. Paula Rhodes, Chris Stone, Meeghan Holaway, Michelle Krusiec, Patricia Belcher, and Tamara Taylor also star. The film has done well enough on the festival circuit for Screen Media Films to pick it up with plans for a limited release in theaters later this year.
