White, Editor in Chief - C.B. Cebulski, Chief Creative Officer - Joe Quesada, President - Dan Buckley, Executive Producer - Alan Fine Initial Reactions I have been asking for more action for a few issues now.  There has been some strong character work, but the conclusion of this arc brings all the action you could ask for.  Now that I got it, I am not sure it was my favorite.  We get a massive team-up with all the Hell's Kitchen heroes to take down the Kingpin and his network of crime lords.  I had fun with the issue, but I felt like it was lacking some depth that we had been getting throughout this arc.  This oversized anniversary issue is worth your time, and there are definitel...

White, Editor in Chief - C.B Cebulski, Chief Creative Officer - Joe Quesada, President - Dan Buckley, Executive Producer - Alan Fine Initial Reactions This is a really good addition to this story arc!  Daredevil's constant struggle throughout the issue of blocking out the macro concerns to concentrate on the more immediate micro concern that is Muse.  Also, the last page is great!  We will get into it, but it does its job of getting me excited for the next issue, which happens to be an Anniversary Issue for #600. The Story The issue begins with Daredevil on a rooftop trying to channel in the whereabouts of the Muse, the Inhuman street artist who has just murdered 6 police officers at the foot of his Punisher mural.  However, he...

Producer - Alan Fine Initial Reactions This arc has been a bit of a slow burn, but the build-up could be something pretty awesome.  I am enjoying the issues because it is really showing us the balancing act Matt has to perform in order to be Daredevil and also keep an eye on Fisk from his current position as Deputy Mayor for The Kingpin, who is the Mayor!  Matt's dual life is already one of the most intriguing in comics, but seeing how he operates as a double agent of sorts in these conditions, is admirable.  As people of faith, we are also called to live as a kind of double agent.  We are called to live by the truth contain...
