Miller is the pinacle of DD work, and I agree with everything you say regarding his style, pacing, fight scenes, lighting, etc. I may have overstated my opinion on Bendis but I'm pretty sure, rereading it, I didn't say (and certainly didn't mean) his run was the equivalent of Miller's. I do not think it's at the same level as Miller. That said, I think it's the best DD since Miller and has reinvigorated the title since its post-Miller doldrums. If we disagree on that then that's cool. Different strokes for different folks.

I have to go on record that even though I don't like bendis, I have NEVEr said anythign against his Daredevil work (caus I never read it).

I didn't like alias however.

Thanks!

Absolutely agree, Bendis did bring a long term following to DD. (I think the begining of the turn around was with Smith's run, but would have had no momentum had it not been for Bendis.) I think someone else mentioned his run being better than Miller's. I also need to say that I'd much rather read Bendis now than Miller now, Miller's current stuff is dead to me. Miller stopped writing comics around 1993.

Well, what else can I say, b_c, other than "read it." Maybe borrow the first tpb or something or order it used and cheap off Amazon/eBay to give it a spin. Then you can render an opinion.

Aarrgghh!!, I see we're on the same page after all.

No, not at the moment.

I started collecting the Hardcover collections of Daredevil/Punisher/Marvel Knights Spidey so I'm months behind in all of those

I always check in to find out about my future reads, not for spoilers, just to find out how the quality of the stories is commencing

I'm down with that opinion as well wk (big suprize). I will admit I dug ann nocetti's and JR jr's run too, but it would go Miller, bendis, and then a tie w/nocetti and Brubaker...

I ordered my stuff on line for the month. Ult Spiderman #93 is now 2.99? Is this a double issue or has this book fallen victim to high prices? Comics have gone up so much over the years, but I really think $1.50 is the right price for a comic book.
