Re: Is Anyone Currently Reading Older DD Comics?

Ditto. I recently reread Vols 2-4.

I'm now reading/rereading Vol 1 (HALP)

I need to reread Bendis' stuff, because I just read Alias and so I'm curious how it will play now that I've seen things going on from the other angle. There's a lot of straight-up crossover moments in Alias where you're getting another perspective on something I know happened in Daredevil, and it added some new layers to her relationship with Matt.

I got only a few comics in to vol 1 and noped out of there around the time Karen was going "Matt sees more than us something but I'm just a woman what do I know" and I understand it was the times but oh my gosh. I'll eventually get through it but right now I'm working on Shadowland.

Yeah, I know people say you shouldn't be phased by the over the top 60s sexism in older comics, because it's just how things were, but it still sometimes bums me out when I stumble across it.

Like an old DD issue that referred to Karen as something like "the most decorative accessory" in the Nelson & Murdock office. Ugh.

OP. Yeah... I started with Miller and even that was difficult (even though Elektra kicks ass).

I don't even touch the earlier stuff, because of the sexism but also because of the oversimplified plots, weird rampant inadvertent homoeroticism, and abundance of bad puns and catchphrases.

Don't worry, nonnie, now that DD is part of the MCU, everybody in the world has decided the most decorative accessory in the Nelson and Murdock office is actually Matt Murdock. So yay for 2015 and equal opportunity objectification, I guess?
