Shadows in the Glass is a very Wilson Fisk-centered episode, as Wesley (Toby Leonard Moore) thinks Nobu (Peter Shinkoda) is becoming a problem, while Det. Blake (Chris Tardio) is recovering from the gunshot that everyone thinks was done by Daredevil, though was actually initiated by Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio). Fisk wants Blake killed, and enlists his […]
A red ninja! It appears that Nobu (Peter Shinkoda) is becoming impatient with Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio), so Fisk offers him a deal: Get rid of the Devil that stalks Hell’s Kitchen, and he’ll get him what he wants. Which is a particular tenement, reasons unknown (though there may be a connection to Black Sky, whatever […]
This episode we meet Stick (Scott Glenn) in flashback–he’s the man who taught Matt Murdock/Daredevil his formidable fighting skills–and in the modern day. He’s in New York to attempt to enlist Matt’s aid in stopping Nobu (Peter Shinkoda), the right hand of Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) from bringing a mysterious shipment, known only as Black Sky, into […]
Hell’s Kitchen is burning as Fisk works to get the Russians out of the way, while Daredevil tries to save Vladmir Ranskahov (Nikolai Nikolaeff) from Wilson Fisk’s minions in the New York Police Department. Throughout the world of Daredevil he’s dealing with all sorts of corruption, especially the aforementioned NYPD. I’d say that this this […]
In an enclosed space, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) can not only taste copper in the air, a useful talent if there’s someone is bleeding nearby, but can also hear the sound a person’s bones make when they are shifting when broke. That’s not a superpower in the same neighborhood as flight or super-strength, but it’s […]
We meet Turk Barrett (Rob Morgan) from Into The Cut again, though this time, instead of human trafficking, he’s selling guns. He’s quite the entrepreneur, if nothing else. He’s selling a .45 automatic to someone who prefers revolvers (because he thinks they’re prone to jamming), though Barrett swears for the efficacy of the gun. Though as […]
An important difference between the portrayal of Daredevil and most other superheroes is that he’s human–a well-trained, durable human with a radar sense and enhanced hearing–but all too human nonetheless. Which is why ‘Cut Man’ begins with him in a dumpster, after a fight with opponents we never actually see. The story goes into Matt’s relationship with his father, […]
“An Auspicious Beginning For Marvel’s Un-Caped Crusader.” When I was growing up, comics not only taught me how to read, but they inspired me to action; I remember vividly running about New York City, trekking through Central Park like Cortez or exploring abandoned buildings with my not-so-super friends. And I would read–though perhaps devour is a […]
Deadpool was never one of my favorite characters. Something about him being created by Rob Liefeld–who somehow managed to do very well for himself as a comic book artist despite having a really, really bad understanding of human anatomy. And that’s not hyperbole because it feels to me like he’s never seen a bodily structure […]
..and the first I have read is from SuperHeroHype–and it’s pretty positive (effusively so, truth be told). In fact, I suspect that it’s perhaps too rosy seeing that it appears that the reviewer has only seen the first of a 13-episode series. Enthusiasm aside–after all, the site isn’t called SuperHeroHype for nothing–it’s a good sign that the opener […]
