Welcome back Anons! Last time, Black Widow decided that Matt's life isn't crappy enough, she needs to nearly start an international incident on his doorstep. Tonight, we find out that the Kingpin BEFORE Fisk is getting out. Let's see what he's planning, shall we?
I REALLY hope one of those papers is the Daily Bugle, because the irony would amuse me.
oh joy, flashback time
>666 apartment
Don't tell me, they're bad guys?
Okay, so we've got people in these threads who can read French. Can anyone translate the German in the last two panels, and more importantly, tell us if Bendis fucked up again?
I don't know which would annoy me more, Bendis having to make up an OC golden age hero for no reason, or... well, you'll see later on.
This must be a really crap superhero if he's taken out in one hit by some random guy like this.
>he actually wrote ass as @$$
That's the laziest censoring I've ever seen in my life. Literally everyone knows what you mean when you type that, except maybe old computer programs.
Fuck yeah, Luke Cage!
Oh wait, just Daredevil in his first costume.
Remember, he only wore this for the first SIX issues.
Because the Fixer being just some asshole, now he has to answer to this guy, I guess.
bumperop i missed this last night
This could've just been three panels, maybe two.
>arrested by the feds, seemingly unrelated to Daredevil
I like to imagine he's just wandering into buisnesses and telling people what their buildings used to be, until they kick him out.
"This used to be a diner."
"This used to be a book store."
"This used to be a whorehouse."
You know, in case you forgot that this keeps happening.
>>90095943
I missed it last night too, don't feel too bad. I'm just glad the thread isn't COMPLETLY empty.
>>90096123
I feel like those top few panels are directly copied from a previous issue
>>90096172
With Bendis, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised.
Holy shit, look at the size of that damn pill.
Well, that could've gone better.
If you told me this was LITERALLY a picture of a Marvel intern with a photoshop filter over it, I'd believe you easily.
Well, shit. We're skipping quite a bit here.
God DAMN it Melvin.
Part 9
>>90040123
Lemme spoil this, we spend almost the rest of the arc building up to how they got here.
>>90096123
>>90096200
FUCKING BENDIS
>>90040794
>>90096347
Crap, I forgot to add that one. Thanks Anon, I'll add it in next thread.
>>90096404
NP. My co "archive" page only had the last three days visible, even though the older threads obviously still exist.
What is this, the third arc villain in this run who's deal is "He thinks superheroes are childish, lame, and stupid"?
>>90095470
Wow, did Maleev turn down his filters or something? This looks marginally more drawn.
>>90095568
>>90095611
Holy shit, and these pages look actually drawn!
No, that mask has nothing to do with Daredevil, despite the horns and the yellow.
>>90096469
Nah, he just had more time to work on this because he reused 80% of another page and just took a lens flare filter off it
>>90096376
Remember, by the time Gladiator appeared in Daredevil, Matt had already switched to the Red costume.
>"You're a- you're one of those birds that picks at-at-at dead things!"
>"A vulture."
>"No."
>"A vulture."
Since when did hardened gang bosses talk like characters from Seinfield?
>>90095679
Wait, is this an OC? It kind of looks like the Angel. Even has his little mustache.
>Green Guy with a cape and a hat
Anyone well versed in Golden Age Marvel enough to know who that's a reference to?
So I looked this one up. This one actually existed, even if he only had 9 issues in all of Marvel.
>>90095982
Bendis has two modes exactly- 1 word a page, and Wall of Text.
>>90096558
Shit, Bendis actually using a decades old character? And unceremoniously shitting on them
>Golden Age superhero shot in the head
If you're really quiet, you can hear Roy Thomas weeping.
Okay, you know how I keep calling attention to Agent Del Toro? This ends up being why, in a bit.
>>90096654
How can one man have so much disdain for the industry that he works in
I can only assume she's guessing her name by her hair color?
>>90096558
You know, now that I get a better look at it, it might be.
>>90096082
>What the hell is a video store?
>Can I eat these tapes?
>Seriously miss. I've been in jail since 1964 because that's apparently how the writer of this story we're in thinks Marvel time works. Gabagool.
>>90096721
Either that or Del Toro is a frequent patron (a la Montoya)
Oh, this is going to be good...
Ironically, Matt seems to have done more to him as Matt Murdock than are Daredevil here, because so far, Daredevil did nothing.
>>90096783
Except the stripper doesn't recognize HER.
You know, all this time I thought Gladiator had spinning circular saws, like he was using the Metal Blade from Megaman 2.
>>90096636
The most surprising part is that he knows who the character is. I like to think he drew names out of a hat, and pray that Roy Thomas wouldn't show up at his house and Conan his shit up.
>>90096708
You know how people joke that Kojima doesn't want to make video games, he wants to make movies?
I genuinely think that of Bendis.
>>90096258
Seems like prison has given Bont a taste for the old Anal Rape. And through two pairs of pants, even!
Speaking of Bendis shitting on characters, remember the time he killed off one of the first Hispanic superheroes?
>>90096758
He has trouble seperating the sliding timescale of Marvel with when the comics were originally released.
He makes that GLARINGLY obvious in All-New X-Men, if you remember.
>"If he's not alive to see what happens when this tape is put out in the wild, then it doesn't mean nearly as much."
Considering up until now this guy's deal has been "Fuck superheroes", that's a very supervillain thing to think.
Gladiator didn't show up until issue 50+, remember. I wouldn't harp on this so much if it was Spider-Man, and he used one of the weird variants of his costume, except this is an easily verifiable fact, and save for saying "this happened a long time ago", which the color scheme does on its own, there's no reason for him to NOT be in the red costume he's worn for 80% of his existance.
>>90096545
Seriously. Maleev's art looks so much better when he deletes the stuff he traced from underneath, instead of leaving it there, but muted as a colouring layer.
I don't think I'd have nearly as many complaints with the art if this was just coloured more traditionally.
>>90096917
It's the MGH, Anon. He could get through FOUR pairs of pants, if he really tried.
I mean, if they were lined up against eachother, I don't think he'd be able to get through four people at once.
>>90097009
So, like a lot of things Marvel does, it snatches shit from the jaws of quality.
So, has Matt ALWAYS refereed to him as "Melvin" in costume?
>>90096721
Or the club is under federal surveillance and Del Toro read the dossier.
Remember, so far Daredevil hasn't really done anything to Bont. He told him he took out the Fixer (for reasons unrelated to Bont), and that's it.
>>90097091
Except, as they mention frequently, Del Toro is investigating MATT, not Bond.
Wait, Matt CAN recognize people by smell? I thought only Wolverine could do that, and Matt relied on heartbeats?
>>90097023
>People don't stand behind me
>There are no people behind him
Shit... I think Daredevil might be blind.
Luckily for all involved, Matt "Doomcock" Murdock never starts dating Angela.
>>90097178
Worse, he's a superhero who sucks at bantz.
>>90097181
I was about to ask "Does she make it out of here alive" as I typed her name into comicvine and oh boy,she certainly does
And now Matt, like a lawyer, avoids admitting anything.
Dun dun dun!
>"Hector Ayala, the White Tiger, was my mother's younger brother."
Did Bendis create her to replace Hector, or did he retcon a relation into this otherwise unrelated character when he realized he fucked up killing Hector?
YOU DECIDE!
>>90097243
So Bendis killed off one of the first hispanic superheroes just so he could replace him with his own OC? Gee, I wonder if that ever happened again
Oh yeah, back to this.
>>90097219
I keep mentioning her because we see her later, and this is basically her origin story.
>>90097243
>I found these in the trash, and then I woke up dressed like Siegfried and Roy's pet, and some guy from the Avengers wouldn't stop shouting at me about Zero Fluid.
Oh no now the world is going to know that Matt Murdock is Daredevil!
Wait a minute...
>>90097271
Considering Hector Ayala was like in his mid-twenties at the oldest when he was created, him having a college-graduate niece seems unlikely.
Local News: Local blind man runs into police chase.
>>90097325
From the first part of her bio:As a child, Angela was babysat by Luke Cage and Danny Rand, friends of her uncle, Hector Ayala. She considered them "uncles" and still does. She also found a surrogate aunt in Misty Knight.
Okay, I am pretty new to actually reading marvel things, but what the fuck sliding timescale. Are personal relationships normally like this, or is Bendis just really, really bad at understanding time compression (like you have alluded too)?
>>90097275
Come on Anon, of course not, that would be stupid, AND lazy.
Did that issue ALWAYS have that story about Osama? I feel like I'd remember that.
>>90097325
>93 years old
>Has been thought dead more than 20 years, presumably because that's after he was sent to jail
Bendis never understood the sliding timescale at all, did he?
You can get away with continuity breaking references like that in say, the Lego Batman Movie, because they're jokes.
When your 30 something protagonist requires having a 40 year career, it breaks the story.
In case you're curious, Matt had changed into the red costume for YEARS by the time Hector got his powers.
I checked >>89776903
No, so someone in Marvel decided to fuck with people, and didn't get caught.
And given how much I love Starlin, I'm all for fucking with editors.
>>90097370
It'd hardly be the second time Marvel retconned in a family member.
We READ Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, he only had one sister.
>>90097390
Fuck, does he think that Marvel time works like Simpsons time?
Like, has Bendis Spider-Man ever started yammering on about the time he saved the original cast of SNL from the Silver Samurai, or the time the Avengers were on Late Night with David Letterman?
This is the only page where Hector actually says ANYTHING in this White Tiger flashback.
>>90097398
Did he suddenly turn into a balding Vincent Price?
>"My mother's name is Awilda Ayala-Del Toro."
So remember when we read Deadly Hands back in June (also, holy fuck, I've been doing this for over 8 months)? Surprise of surprises, that actually WAS her name.
>>90097390
As a general rule, it's four real world years means one Marvel year.
But then we get shit like this.
>>90097554
I have to say, she really looks like the woman currently playing Maggie Sawyer on Supergirl
>>90097430
Best I can figure, people thought he was dead even before, but even that barely makes sense.
>>90097487
To be fair, Marvel isn't allowed to reference that SNL instance anymore, for the same reason they're not allowed to mention the fact that Godzilla and the Transformers exist in their universe.
>>90097507
He doesn't look anything LIKE Doctor Strange, Anon.
Okay, I can kind of see why he doesn't like Daredevil, if this is the kind of smug shit Matt did often.
And now you know where he got the MGH from earlier, even though it only made him stronger, instead of giving him a superpower like... I don't know, atomic farting or something weird and comic book-y.
Last little bump of the night, goodnight PMIF
>>90097554
Also, if Hector ever told Daredevil, he'd know the answer is "because he found some magic junk in the trash and it cursed him"
>>90097575
You think? I'll be honest, I don't really see it.
>>90097683
Night Anon. If I don't get called into work early again, hopefully I'll have another thread up at noon tomorrow.
Remember when Hector used it, and he got posessed, and a costume appeared out of nowhere?
I can see why someone not used to this ninja crap may find this fustrating.
>>90097749
Maybe they got less magic after Master Khan stole them?
And now we're back to the first page.
>"You try to hit me again, know this: I've arranged for the murder of your four-year-old daughter."
And now we know why Melvin is working for freaking Mum-Ra over here. Remember this, by the way. Only reason Melvin doesn't just kill him once he brings Daredevil to him is because his daughter is threatened.
>>90097781
Oh, I guess Gladiator is Vin Diesel now.
Last issue of the night, Anons!
>>90097697
I can't find an exact picture right now (phoneposting) but I remember an episode with her having pulled back ponytail hair
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Dv4RrCo5aJw/maxresdefault.jpg
You're not exactly pulling a "Bane in Knightfall" here, Bont.
In case you're curious how she's keeping up with Daredevil, remember that the White Tiger amulets not only give you enhanced strength and speed, but also gives you greater martial arts skill.
Matt, you kicked her, both legs, right under the chin. She may need a second there.
So this is the second time Bendis has displayed an uncharacteristic amount of knowledge about the Sons of the Tiger...
Although he seems to think you can just casually make a trip to K'un Lun. I suppose it could just be Daredevil who doesn't know.
>"They defended those who needed defending."
>"Also they got in a kung fu fight with God once."
>>90097684
He knows where HECTOR got them, he's more asking "How did YOU get them?" which is a fair question. You'd think the Marvel authorities would make it hard to get known supernatural objects in their posession.
>>90097774
Given what's happened since, I'm assuming he was possessed by the Tiger God, which Ava "tamed" in one of Ewing's Avengers books.
>>90097840
I see it a bit in her later appearances, but not in this version of her, where she's drawn more... let's be generous and say "homely".
>>90097929
No, the answer as to "Why did Hector do it"
Which, hey, Bendis actually pulled out. Good for him.
The fuck is with that fourth panel? Who rams someone while balancing on one leg like that?
You ever get a can thrown at you, Anons? The fact that she recovers from a six-pack to the back of the head like that is impressive, for someone who's had powers for under an hour.
>>90097983
It was hard to find a stock image with a proper tackle by a woman to photo manipulate!
>"So they did it... because beating people up feels good. Got it, I will become the second White Tiger!"
>"The fourth, if we're being technical."
We're halfway through the last issue of the arc, and we're only NOW explaining how they put Matt in that position in the beginning of the arc. God damn it Bendis.
Say what you want about Waid's Daredevil, when we saw what Matt "saw", at least it wasn't just regular sight but with a red filter on it.
>>90097967
Well apparently Matt decided to have a field trip instead of just answering THAT damn question.
>>90098013
>What're yeh buying?
>>90098003
Women's Rugby! Maybe get someone in then office to pose as a model. Christ, this isn't hard!!
I guess he changed his mind on wanting him to stay alive and see the tape leak.
How the hell did she get here so quick? How long was Bont fucking around in front of that crowd?
What exactly has he lied about to you, Bont?
Melvin, god damn it, why are you still fighting her now that Bont isn't there? Damn it, throw the fight so she can kick his ass.
>>90098069
>"Heh heh heh... Thank you!"
"Omae wa mou shindeiru."
Yes, I like Fist of the North Star, shut up.
Well, so much for Melvin getting a sort of happy ending.
And that's it for tonight, Anons! See you tomorrow as we get ever closer to finishing Bendis's Daredevil!
>>90098184
Apparently his mutant power was melting green eyes.
Which is pretty garbage tier.
>>90098224
Thanks for storytime. I wish I had been here while you were still posting but alas the real world got in the way.
>>90096755
>Conflict of interest
Fuck you Matt, both as a defense attorney and now as a prosecutor, you've never given a fuck about blatant conflicts of interests whenever it suited you. Like that time you were the attorney of a guy who was SUING DAREDEVIL.
