I think this week managed to pass out issue 7 for straight up  So basically it was a great issue and had Mike Allred killing it drawing Stilt-Man and if you like good books you should read this.

I seriously have no idea what villain could be pulling this off. This is some absolutely hosed up poo poo. I was thinking Chameleon, but the cover for next month's issue doesn't look like Chameleon.

It's a new villain, one with a rather twisted modus operandi. Milla.

What if Daredevil really is going nuts, and it's a double bluff, since any time something's set up to make it look like the hero's going nuts we're conditioned to expect that someone's messing with him?

It's definitely Matt at least on some level. Milla coming back and pretending like nothing bad ever happened is a lot like Matt doing the same. Waid's whole run is like stealth Shadowland fallout.

When I saw the thing with the elevator, I immediately said, out loud, one word to myself. "Mysterio."

The guy who's messing around with Matt is a new villain unless an established one has decided to change their name and outfit.

Mastermind is dead, so it shouldn't be him. I suppose it could be Doctor Doom, if he's still bitter over Fantastic Four #31.

Visually, it's sort of a Mexican Day of the Dead meets Daredevil look.

I'd be okay with it being no one messing with Matt at all. I think Foggy's completely right. Coyote's just going to be caught up in it. Matt will even blame him, but in the end a lot of this is about Matt having to take responsibility for his actions.

But, if anyone can pull it off right, and have Matt come out the other side, it's Waid.

I've never read Daredevil before, so I picked up Bendis' complete run and just for kicks the kevin Smith TPB as well, since it was cheap. Man, that Smith run is like a microcosm of lovely 90s era comics, isn't it? Some pages would totally fit into a Spawn book without looking out of place. Tons of grimdark bullshit, drugs, AIDS, rape and also let's randomly reference Good Will Hunting, because that's totally topical. I've only gotten a few issues into Bendis' run, but it's like there's a 20 year difference between the two. I just thought that was pretty hilarious.

It was fun when I first read it ten years ago, but it doesn't compare to the stuff that has come out since then. Quesada had some nice art though, and those covers helped sell me on the character. And there should be some credit given for how it helped get Marvel out of their dark period after their bankruptcy. The Smith/Quesada Daredevil run was a pretty big deal.

I feel it's also a good introductory piece for people. I was just getting back into comics after a break and thought it was good and it allowed me to go right into Bendis' run because I was interested in the character more than from when I stopped reading. Plus Bendis makes Karen's death such a huge part of his run that the story is almost mandatory to read before going to Bendis. Quesada was most definitely at the top of his game too.

It probably helps to read Smith's run but honestly the Bendis run might be my favorite run of anything ever and I had no problem following despite not reading Smith's run. I would have read it first but Kevin Smith.

Daredevil: Yellow was really good as well. Made me a lot more sympathetic towards the characters after reading it. Did Battlin' Jack Murdock ever go against Happy Hogan in a boxing match?

So (somehow) End of Days came out, and it's pretty drat great. I've been re-reading Bendis' run again lately and this feels like a natural extension of it. It's pretty much the "dream" section from Bendis' final issue but with some stunning Bill Sienkiewicz art.

I'm really glad that waid is making the spot such a threat, because his powers are pretty drat crazy and he could do some awful things with them.

If you guys are wondering when did The Spot, a former League of Losers member, became a loving badasas, go read Amazing Spider-Man 589 by Fred Vente. Good, short story on how he brings the Spot back into the world of Spidey. He's also used a few times throughout Dark Reign, but hasn't done anything all that major.

I'm dying to know why he's calling himself Coyote. My mind immediately jumped to Wile E. Coyote, what with the ACME portable holes he uses, but I'm guessing that's not it.

Coyotes are tricksters! In native american mythology mostly, but I'm sure any Gunnerkrigg reader around here will agree.

I do not know what Gunnerkrigg is, but Coyote-as-trickster god is pretty much the only way a coyote has ever been used in culture so I guess that's got to be the answer. I think it's neat that, at least on the cover, you can see that the whit designs on Coyote's costume are the negative space between large, intersecting black circles. I'm also curious as to whether his skull face is a mask or something creepier. Poor Spot finally got pushed too far

I'm wondering what caused all this, aside from DD beating him. I mean, this is pretty drastic stuff. Spot's always seemed more interested in bank robberies. Maybe it's related to his Darkforce-related powers? Also I was under the impression he was mute for some reason, but I might've been making that up.
