 It's been a long time since I've had a favorite superhero. Having read tons of DC and Marvel comics (as well as various indies) since I started becoming a hardcore reader and collector, and having seen a vast majority of the movie adaptations, there are simply too many characters from both companies that I like for me to set one, or even a handful, over all the rest. Any sense of favoritism depends on which character I'm most in the mood to read about at a given time. Still, if I was forced to at least come up with a top five list from each company, Daredevil would undoubtedly make the Marvel list. He's been a heavy-hitter in my comic collection since I started getting serious about collecting. I still remember buying my first Daredevil comics during a family vacation in Canada, and I was able to get a huge lot of them at a super-low price on eBay when I was in college. Hell, I even like the 2003 movie with Ben Affleck - I saw it twice in theaters - and I continue to defend it, even while I acknowledge its shortcomings. (The director's cut was an improvement, but I admit it had its own issues.)   (Originally posted on The Comics Bolt)

Welcome to First Strike, showcasing our favorite superheroes' first published encounters with their most infamous foes! First up, the Man Without Fear takes on the Man Who Never Misses!  (Originally posted on Channel Awesome on July 13, 2015) I hope everyone who attended San Diego Comic-Con International this year had a better time than Iron Man does in this issue. From January 1975, this is "Convention of Fear!"   (Originally posted on Channel Awesome on May 15, 2015) DC and Marvel pit two of their most famous heroes against each other in this gloriously fangasmic romp.   (Originally posted on Channel Awesome on September 1, 2014) No, that's not a complaint about the character on my part - that's the actual title of this story from June, 1972.  |
