IT BEGINS

>>93198973
Y'know, I've grown to like Matt's new outfi, even if it's not really that new aside from a color change.

>>93198962
Well, at least the deadbeat dad cares enough to see his ex in the hospital.

Fuck you /co/. I like this issue. Good Benids here

>>93199002
>The words Diamond and Diamondback are on this spread at least 10 times combined.

>>93199042
I almost through Matt was tossing around Red Hulk for a split second

>>93199035

>ITT

Why didn't they just call it Heroes For Hire? That would actually be appropriate name for the book. I know synergy and all but Netflix show should have been called that too.

>>93198878
Why does every Bendis crime boss do this? Act like they control the streets before people even know who they are, then act outraged that people won't follow orders they've never heard of?

>>93198895
Why doesn't security do anything?

>>93199446
They may be saving Heroes for Hire for a joint Iron Fist/Luke Cage series rather than their "united street heroes" series.

>>93198973
How the fuck does Diamondback know Matt's secret?

>>93199002
How did comic jess got so hot.

>>93199470
Nah, if it's synergy it'll be written by Benis.

>>93199054
Because of what thing that happened to the X-Men? What's he talking about?

>>93199005
>His ex

I haven't been following Luke Cage I guess, when did they break up?

>>93120952 1 to 9 storytime.

>>93199117
>If the Avengers and whatnot are up there, we need to be down here
I've lst track of many times writers have said bullshit like this. As if the Avengers didn't collectively or individually deal with street crime too.

>>93199139
>This is why I'll win
>I'll d this to every one of these idiots who would actually defend this city...
Seriously? That's his grand plan? Take out all superheroes? WHAT AN ORIGINAL IDEA, NO CRIMINAL HAS EVER THOUGHT OF THAT ONE BEFORE.

And why is Black Cat so scared? Surely she could easily kick his ass.

>>93199471
I'm sure they'll spin some shit about street smarts or something but if he's only recently come back from the dead it's possible he wasn't affected by the purple kids changing everyone's mind.

>>93199480
Netflix

>>93198949
It's totally better than MGH!

>>93199567
There's a part of her buried under all the hurt baggage and bad writing that is still a good person, watching a former colleague of hers get brutalized probably isn't something she enjoys seeing.

>>93199594
Also some anon made this comment. How is it that Jessica Drew looks more like Netflix's Jessica Jones more than comic Jessica Jones does.

>>93199002
It's kind of amazing they immediately know it's the dead one. No confusion over the Diamondback who's been in comics for the past 3 decades. Immediately knowing the male Diamondback.

>>93199101
So Diamondback wins with unexplained bullshit gas?

That's exactly how both Jesses were drawn in Alias.

HA, GAY

>>93199540
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, depends on if its attached to a larger story. When Sandman was in the reserve roster he tracked down a nuke with Spider-Man and saved Manhattan. Still got chewed out by Cap and was told they don't do small time stuff and it was best left to a bomb squad. He quit right there.

>>93198895
Oh fuck, he shoved some Tide in that guy's mouth. Badass.

>>93199054
>>93199070
I have no idea what Diamondback is proposing here. I have no idea how he or Black Cat are operating and why they're acting like it's different to how other criminals operate. What exactly does Diamondback think that Black Cat stands to benefit?

>>93199775
More money and not losing a gang war, since apparently he thinks he has the infrastructure to take on Black Cat.

>>93199823
But how would Black Cat make more money? What is Diamondback's business model? He didn't explain it yet he expects Black Cat to fall in line?

>>93199867
That's usually how these things work, yes.

>>93199867
Probably as a lieutenant of his. But yes, he's not going to break out a 10 point plan for her because then she'll know how his business works if she turns him down.

>>93199691
>Carol gets confused and starts flirting with other Jess

>>93199914
He doesn't have to give her the whole picture, but at least explain SOMETHING. You can't just say "I totally have an awesome plan to make money, you can totally trust a criminal that's supposed to have died years ago that you've never met" and expect people to work with you.

>>93199934
This

>>93199022
How does anybody know who Diamondback is? He was a minor thug with a grudge against Carl Lucas.

>>93199151
I didn't know The Pulse was still a thing.

>>93199199
>omega-level superhero
Wait what? What does that even mean?

Eh, not bad.
I mean the artist clearly can set things quickly, it's not decompressed at all and goes straight to the point.

It's basically the last series of P&IF but with Netflix characters. Expecting Cottonmouth, Black Maria and Elektra next. Then Davos and if God is Good the Immortal Weapons.

>>93198863
Well, this is easily the best benis I've seen in a while. No surprise, he's writing his waifus

I'm amazed they never brought up Rachel Diamondback.

>>93200051
omega level is suppose to mean characters with with limitless or grand potential. Luke Cage is not one. He is not even on Thing or colossus's level.

>>93199035
I like Bendis, especially with his pets Ultimate Peter Parker/MJ and Jessica Jones. So we got one of those here, and I like it. :)

>>93199112
Oh, come on, man. Alias and the first 107 issues of USM were really good.

>>93199322
The only order wearing a full habit in the US right with women under the age of 70 is the Dominican Sisters of Mary and they are only in fucking Ann Arbor. I know Marvel is anti-Christian, but get this shit right.

>>93199199
>omega level superhero

When you just wanna make every mutated superhero a mugga, but the editors won't let you.

Oh boy, here we go again. Only this time, it's got the letter I for synergy instead of M.

>>93200335
This is Bendis we're talking about, why are you amazed?

>>93199512
Well, I guess they didn't after finishing the issue. They've just been really distant in Jessica's solo

>>93201055
Well, Jessica was lying to him because of a secret mission. In the most recent issue, they reconciled, though.

>>93201134
Which I call bullshit on. I can understand lying to him because secret SHIELD mission or whatever, but there was absolutely no reason for Jessica to hide their daughter from Luke.

>They ended Power Man and Iron Fist for this

well the arts better then alias but thats not saying much

>>93199151
>>93199199
I gotta say, I actually liked this interview. Much better than Bendis' "Oral history of the Avengers" crap.

>>93199399
Jesus, Ben. Did Matt piss in your coffee?

>>93198867
I hate it already.

>>93198973
Wait, since when is Matt's identity some well guarded secret? Isn't it a running gag that everyone knows he's Daredevil?

>>93199623
I wasn't even aware there was a male dead DImondback, I though the female one was the only one and I only know of her because of Avengers Initiative honestly.

>>93201483
He restored it recently. Used Purple an's kid for this.

>>93198988
>>93199002
What is it with Bendid' obsession with pretending obscure characters are well know in-universe and well known characters are literally who's in-universe, it's genuinely one of my biggest pet peeves with.

>>93201525
They brought him back for Netflix Synergy as he was the big bad of the latter half of the season. That's why his resurrection has been hand waved as they have no real idea how to tell it or why he's apparently abandoned his little syndicate.

>>93199035
No fuck YOU. You're part of the problem.

>>93201594
I'm sure Bendis will explain how Diamondback is not dead later. He just didn't want to interrupt the flow of the first issue.

>That's why his resurrection has been hand waved as they have no real idea how to tell it or why he's apparently abandoned his little syndicate

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the Hand and they used the same resurrection magic the Hand used on Howard Meacham in the Iron Fist show

>>93201594
You'd think they'd have him get brought back by The Hand for maximum synergy since they're the villains in the Defenders show.

>>93199035
Well, it's Bendis working with characters that he's proven himself capable fo writing in the past. Better than most of the half-assed garbage that he puts out these days, but it's still Bendis and suffers from all the same faults that come along with that.

>>93201594
Like, I know Bendis is trying to do synergy, but it's laughable how this entire comic acts like the male Diamondback was this huge deal when he died within 2 issues of the 70's. It's more amazing that they act like he was always this big villain when the female Diamondback has been in comics for 30 years.

>>93199446
>Why didn't they just call it Heroes For Hire?

It's fine for Cage+Danny but it's a pretty bad name for a proactive superhero team. Also there's not even a current Defenders team is there?

>>93201845
>I'm sure Bendis will explain

lol you poor child

Yeah, he was Power Man Bendis

At this point we need to have a Bendis Bingo for every single one of his runs and not just the events because he keeps making the same fucking mistakes. Fuck it, I'll make it if anyone gives me a template.

>>93198895
Well done, Bendis! You made the economically unsound villian/anti-hero of the year! I'm sure some people are hard as diamonds! Yes, yes...I see the Netflix synergy....

But there's so many Diamondbacks and this isn't even the first black guy. The original was a bronze age character.
