Re: Comics Recs w/Focus on Foggy

[(Anonymous)]

Well he's very prominent in a 90's arc involving his mom, but it's honestly pretty terrible (which is a bummer). He's also nothing but goofy comic relief in a lot of the early stuff.

My recommendation is to start with Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev's run in the early 2000's (which is available on Marvel Unlimited).

In that arc, Matt's identity is made public, so Foggy plays a massive role in helping him figure out what to do, keeping the firm afloat, and acting as Matt's attorney and spokesman. He gets put through he ringer as much as Matt does almost.

In terms of him being a badass, the closest he comes to that is in an event series called Shadowland which contains the closest the comics get to a yellow crayon scene between he and Matt. It's not the greatest event ever, but it gives Foggy a lot to do and he gets to really save the day.

Also, Mark Waid's run (again also on Marvel Unlimited) has crazy Matt/Foggy friendship feels like you wouldn't believe. If you wanna bawl like a baby, read that.

Thanks! I'll be sure to check those out. I've seen Bendis and Waid recommended before, so confirmation is nice. At least this gives me a good place to start.

i second all of this (although i still haven't gotten round to reading shadowland cos i haven't heard that many good things about it?? but maybe it's time i gave it a shot...)

Shadowland has it's moments that make it worth it. You just have to accept the ludicrousness of the plot and remind yourself "comics!" a lot while reading it.

It's less grounded than a lot of the other Daredevil stuff.
