Hi guys, I have been a regular, well voyeur (is suppose the best way to describe it!) on the site and message board since watching the daredevil film. I have only just got a computer at home and a non work email address, so my first task was to register on the best message board.
Sorry if I bore everyone but here goes:
I had never really heard of DD (sorry guys) until the film, I went to see the film and was totally blown away by the great idea and the great story. Now I know that either Train or RGJ or one of you regular posters hates the film, but at the time I really enjoyed it. I have started to get DD every month from #44, I have since via all the English comic shops I can find and Ebay managed to get all of Vol. 2. My comic shop is sometimes abit slow, so I am only up to #67 at the moment.
Having read the comic, I can see why the film is flawed and not much like the hero that we all read about, but I still enjoy the Hollywood version and a few tweeks here and there and it would be about right. A comic book related film is never going to win any oscars, so as long as it entertains right??
Love the message board, I was normally that anonymous guest visiting on every Mon - Fri between 12:30 - 13:00. I am not shy in the slightest but work are strict with access, so I did not want to push any thing, hardly without fear eh .
I will stop waffling now, great to finally be here guys. Thanks.
Yo Dave Wallace, do you buy your comics from Nostalgia comics by New st. Station? _________________ Always Out-Manned, Never Out-Gunned |

Yep, sure do! Have you been in there much? They're a nice bunch in there, and they're pretty up-to-date - like a lot of UK stores, they get new comics in on a Thursday instead of the Wednesday in the US. If you want current stuff I'm sure they'll set you up a standing order like I have, and they've got a fair few boxes of backissues if there's anything you're keen on tracking down.
(There's a Forbidden Planet in Birmingham too, but I'm keener to support Nostaligia as the comparatively independent store. Plus their selection is a lot better, and they're a bit cheaper too.) |

Welcome to regular posting Privateer. |
HI rgj, good to hear from you.
You must be pleased to learn that MSJ is going to be directing Nicolas Cage as Ghost Rider then. Pencilled for a summer 2006 release, no doubt it will be Easter 2007 in England then!
There is a Ghost Rider, Ennis scripted mini series, coming out in Sept 05, as a taster before the movie, as I know nothing about Ghost Rider, MSJ will be sculpting my early impressions. Lets hope that he learns off his DD errors. _________________ Always Out-Manned, Never Out-Gunned |

Hi Dave,
I use a comic shop in bristol called Kathies comics, you get 4p credit with every £1 spend so I do get some "free" stuff at the end of the year, I am probably down when you add in the postage but it gets delivered to my door and I can't always get in to town.
I usually go to Nostalgia on a Friday afternoon, I finish work at one, so I get time to browse. I have just got back issues for Sleeper and Global Frequency from there, they did have a good selection till I raped it.
Kathies are sometimes abit slow with the comics, but then again them may be waiting to make the postage more economical.
It is good to know that there are some DD fans in the next county! _________________ Always Out-Manned, Never Out-Gunned |

Yeah, they're all over! It's like the Masons. Cas - who also posts on these boards - is not from far away either. |

Hi DD board
This is my first post here. Im theVman and have recently become a fan of the Marvel Knights DD series. For Christmas of 2004 my friend brought me the Kevin Smith Gaudian Devil graphic novel (im a massive kevin smith fan) and i F*cking loved it. I have now ordered series of the trades off the intenet and have just finished Parts of a Hole. just about to start Wake Up and have Out waiting - also have also ordered Underboss but that hasn't arrived yet.
i think the reason a love DD is because, unlike some super heroes, he's so vunerable. All the others are known for what the can do (spidey can shoot webs, superman can fly etc) whereas DD is known for the fact he can't do - see. Also he seems more human like in the movie he'd rather go have sex with a gorgoues woman than save an old lady getting mugged in an alley. THATS REAL.
Im one of those people that once I get obsessed by something I find out everything and learn about it real quick. Ive only been into DD comics for about a month but I've already learnt about FranK Millers run in Vol1 and how in introduced and killled ELEKTRA, and also about how DD had several different suits. But Im still learning so go easy on me in future posts if a seem a bit out the loop on something. |

hello dude, nice to see i'm not a newbie around here anymore. but on the movie, rent the Director's Cut if you haven't seen it yet. it shows his detective skills and laywering skills MUCH better. and...it gives you a better sense of just why DD's love life just so truly stinks, TRULY. not just J.Garner eye candy.
see yah round the block! and have fun!

I would love to see DD the DIRECTORS CUT - but it's not avaiable in the UK yet - a magazine has said it will be released but no ones seems to know when. _________________ "While viewing the extinction of the human race from the top of a hill, I would dig a hole in the earth and ejaculate into it over and over."

How's it goin. I'm sorta new here. I've posted here and there. I've been into comics for a while, mainly Spidey and Iron Man. I knew who DD was and after I saw the movie I decided to shell out the extra cash to buy the King Of Hells Kitchen first issue. Been on steady since then and I've got TPB 1-6 and Essential 1. DD is probably the best written/illustrated book ou there. I think Bendis/Maleev is a great team (which seem rare today) I plan on getting some Miller TPBs soon. (Must find Money) |

I forgot how new I am...but anyway..
I'm in my late 20s and have been reading and following Daredevil on and off since I was about 10 or 11. I had even fashioned a costume for myself back them (made of red sweats of course) |

Hello. My 2nd post. Should have started here, oh well.
Like I have said in a previous post, I am reading Daredevil from the begining through my brother self pro-claimed entire Daredevil collection. I don`t know much about the guy other than what little I have seen of a few new issues, but they blew me away. He talked me into getting into reading Marvel comics from the begining and one of the titles I chose of course is Daredevil.
So I hope its OK for me to post my thoughts and whatnot on the old issues. I`ve only read #`s 1-11 so far.
I have a long jouney ahead of me... wish me luck. |

best of luck to you! you'll have a great trip to read some of this stuff from the beginning. actually, i'm a little jealous of you getting to read this stuff for the first time. if you start to get burnt out, don't just give up. check the recommended reading section on this website for the cream of the crop. you won't be disappointed. |

I don`t think I`ll get burned-out, at least I hope not. I`m not going to sit down and read as many as I can at each sitting. I`ll take it easy.

hi all,
i'm graham from scotland and i'm new to this site. i have been a big fan of daredevil for a while, gotta love his spirit, takes on the bad guys with relatively little power and does not back down. gotta love it.
i think bendis's run has been interesting but i'm glad hes moving on, i think if kept on daredevil the title could become a wee bit stale.
i also think he will be and i hope he is in the new avengers, bendis has hinted at this himself in interviews. but thats for another thread.... _________________ when walking just walk, when sitting just sit, above all don't wobble. |
