Of course, I can defend myself but it's always nice when I don't have to. As Dimetre and Francesco point out any one who reads through the various threads can plainly see what's going on. Still, allow me to defend myself just a little further.

You hilariously say this:

Why does there have to be so many personal assaults on people over fans having creative differences?

I really can't remember Jriddle insulting anyone except Mark Waid. But I do think things are getting carried away here.There's no need to make this personal

yeah only some people become anal about it and some don't.

Also, some people are accepting of all the variations of Daredevil (given that he's a fictitious character written by multiple real life human beings) while others only accept limited versions.

True that. I came to DD via Waid's run, but once I was hooked I started buying Vols 1 & 2 off of Comixology. (Then I found Marvel Unlimited, discovered that I could read their online back issues for a yearly fee and it was cheaper, so I do that now).

I think that I can honestly say I've loved 95% of the DD I've read. Granted, there are some pretty big gaps in Volume 1's digital availability. Virtually everything after Karen walks out on Matt after that business with Typhoid Mary, and a lot of stuff before that, too, but I've picked up a lot in the last two years or so. Sure, starting DD under Waid has informed my perception of the older stuff, much like, when I picked up Batman in the late 80s, my 'core' image of Batman came from the Starlin-Aparo run (with shades of Filmation cartoon and Superfriends).

It didn't stop me from liking Golden/Silver Age material or most of what came later. It's taken the New 52 reboot to turn me off and that's mostly because DC took the tack that "all those stories and character development you loved? Yeah, they didn't happen anymore. Forget them." Yeah... no.

I'm pretty new here, and seem to be in the minority as far as liking Waid, which is why I'm mostly not participating in these discussions. I love current DD. Many folks here do not, and I don't think we're really going to bring anyone around to our respective points of view, so why fight? I loved Miller and Bendis, tooâ€”even if I just discovered their runs within the last year.

All I know is that every issue of DD I read leaves me wanting more and when the previews go up, I try to force myself not to read them because it only makes my anticipation level worse. There is currently no other comic on my pull-list that gets me this excited. And no other title in my library that I reread as often.

OOOOOOOOOOOKAY, so back to the preview of issue 6, I think that we will see Matt battle with the sins of his father, but ultimately realise that he tried to do the right thing and kept getting up and moving forward, just as Matt has always tried to do. He might lose a bit of his fathers saint image in his head but by the end he will love him as a fully rounded man, not just the hero he has built him up to be.
Thats my guess and it doesn't really destroy everything while being an interesting journey for our hero.

The Message Board is currently in read-only mode, as the software is now out of date. Several features and pages have been removed. If/When I get time I intend to re-launch the board with updated software.
