First, I'd like to say a big "Thank You" to Chris and Murd - gained at least a half-dozen new vocabulary words listening to this episode.
Secondly, I will also defend the armored DD costume introduced in the 90s. It made a lot more sense than red spandex for someone with low-level powers that constantly got his a** kicked. Remember joining the Bowen Statue Collector's club so I could get the Limited Edition Armoured Version of the DD bust:
Haven't been on these forums in a LONG time. But lately I've been having a 2nd wind when it comes to DD. Loved this episode. For those interested there is a trade that collects some of the Nocetti run. It is called "Lone Stranger". I had read some of the issues back in the day but just read the trade last night. Not awful. Not good. JRJ's art is nice in it. Weirdly disjointed stories though.
I met Lee Weeks last year at a con. Really nice guy. Got him to sign my trade of the Fall of the Kingpin book. For those interested the story "Last Rites" from DD #297-300 is collected under this title and not called "Last Rites" on the cover of the trade.
I remember when the Fall from Grace story first came out really wanting to like it. I think I convinced myself at the time that it was ok. I decided to pick up the recent epic collection that came out. My god man! could barely get past the first couple of issues.
I think I can only say "Thanks for the episode, gentlemen!" I loved everybody's comments on this era of Daredevil, most of which is very spotty for me. I've read most of Miller's stuff, probably most of Nocenti's, hardly any of the stuff following that up to issue #380. Then I had to go back and get most of Smith's run. Anyway, these spotlight always bring back happy memories of reading comics even if the material in some cases, wasn't that good.
