The INCspotlight: Top 10 Favorite Pre-Frank Miller Daredevil Stories

2/24/2020

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.)

Editorial: Does The Flash Really Need to be Dark?

​Ezra Miller, who portrays the Flash in Warner Bros.'s current DC cinematic universe, recently announced he was working on a new script for the character's upcoming solo film, along with veteran comic book writer Grant Morrison. Not only that, but Miller is reportedly unhappy with the current Flash script's lighthearted tone, and he wants something darker. I've seen some mixed reactions to this, with most of the complaints objecting to yet another dark and gritty DC movie, especially for the Flash.
