New York City was more than just a location in the previous runs of Daredevil; the city itself was a supporting character in many ways. It provided a lush, complex environment that often insinuated its way into the narrative much as it does in the Spider-Man mythology. Continue reading

BEST OF 2013
with Cory Thrall
When I started this crazy thing called Bag & Bored I was looking for something to kill some time and have some fun with.

This episode is going to focus Continue reading

LETTERING BY: VC’s Joe Caramanga
Firstly, a little context: I’ve never liked Daredevil. It’s probably not something I can really justify. A mixture of bad timing and my personal tastes while growing up dictated that any time I dipped into Daredevil I was left cold. Continue reading
