Daredevil and Spidey are neck in neck for me in terms of my two favourite classic Marvel characters. Brubaker's run though has really knocked it out of the park in terms of quality of writing so for me DD has been in the lead for a while. This final arc Brubaker has done was really one of the best pieces I've read in years. Bringing back the Kingpin in a slightly more original approach than normal. Getting the Owl involved, Dakota North, Tarantula, the Hand. It really all came together in the final issue of the arc. And the shocker of the end with Matt taking over as leader of the hand was just great.
It actually felt like it made sense on some level. DD has nothing to live for and so gives in to the dark side so to speak by joining them. What will be curious is if he's actually going to be killing people/approving of the Hand killing people. That will be a major departure for the character and maybe too much to believe. Brubaker did say he was going to hand it over to Diggle with it in very bad shape for him to write his way out of.
Anyone else check this? DD's readership has been so low I am a little concerned it'll drop further with Brubaker off the book, as he has his own fan base who read whatever he writes.
What's in my long boxes? http://www.comicspriceguide.com/world/default.asp?m=icebreaka
