Vincent GoodwinLeave a comment

We’ve got Freaky Friday Fever and we’re reading three body swap stories that are all over the map!

Daredevil and Doctor Doom swap places in Daredevil #37 & 38!

Emma Frost spends some time in Iceman’s body in Uncanny X-Men #314!

High school-aged Peter Parker trades places with Wolverine in Ultimate Spider-Man #66 & 67!

And we’re still continuing Thunderbolts with #23, featuring an unexpected cameo from U.S. Agent.

Some of My Friends Read Comics 240 – Daredevil: The Death of Elektra + Thunderbolts #13

Apparently we haven’t covered a Daredevil book since our very first episode. We’ve never even read the death of Elektra, an iconic moment from the middle of Frank Miller’s run in the early 80s.

We’re reading Daredevil #178-182 to see the big moment for ourselves, along with Daredevil using crutches because he got his leg caught in a bear trap. Oops!

Then we’re still reading Thunderbolts with issue #13, in which we deal with some alien BS.

We tried to read Spider-Man: The Death of Jean DeWolff, but I think we must have picked up the wrong comic.

DeWolff, Spider-Man’s long-time friend in the NYPD, was barely in it!

We did get a little story about Daredevil and some villain named Sin-Eater?

And then we talked about politics even though we promised we wouldn’t. Plus Secret Wars rolls on with issue 6!

Some of My Friends Read Comics 063 – Marvel Knights

For this episode, we’re reading Marvel’s comic about all their street-level heroes teaming up, The Defenders! … wait…no, Marvel Knights!

It’s like the Defenders TV show except all the characters are different. Well that’s not totally true, Daredevil is there.

And The Punisher fights a weird giant spider-person.

Just listen to the episode, it’ll all make sense.

In our first episode, we take a look at Daredevil: Born Again from Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli.  Big bad nurses, stabby Santas, and bowling balls to the head. It’s all right here in Born Again.

We follow Matt Murdock as he gets more paranoid than we’ve ever seen him before and falls into a deep pit of depression. But hey, can you blame the guy? You’d be a wreck too if the Kingpin discovered your secret identity and dismantled your entire life.

Chris, Vince, and Kia go through this story and discuss classic villain tropes, comparisons to Batman, and decide once and for all whether it really deserves to be called a classic. All without giving away any spoilers for the new Netflix series, we promise!

If you want to read it for yourself, you can grab a digital version of this 7-issue story for $4.99 at Comixology, read it with your Marvel Unlimited subscription, or just grab it from Amazon.
