So, I’m ashamed to say 2012 was not a terribly adventurous year for me when it comes to comics. For better or worse, I ended up sticking with relatively mainstream comics. That said, there were a number of excellent offerings from both DC and Marvel, and these comics are absolutely capable of competing with more creator-friendly work, as long as they’re in the right hands. At any rate, there was some serious competition this year for the number one spot, but ultimately there can only be one! Curious to find out if what you’ve been reading is the epitome of the medium or crap not worth even a momentary glance? Read on, and see for yourself… READ MORE

Twentieth Century Fox has been trying hard to maintain the rights to the Daredevil film property in order to avoid returning the rights to Marvel Studios in October. If Fox does not have a new film in production stages in October, the rights go back to Marvel, and this seems to be the case. Director Joe Carnahan was on board to reboot Daredevil as a gritty, 70s style thriller. Unfortunately, the project has been shut down. Taking to Twitter, Carnahan posted that the project “went up in smoke.”

But, Carnahan released the pitch reel he put together for his re-envisioning of the hero. The short clip shows a darker world for Daredevil that uses Robert De Niro’s voice for King Pin in order to show the 70s crime world. Watch the NC-17 version of Carnahan’s Daredevil below. READ MORE

This is highly unusual given that it’s only supposed to be my “pick” of the week, but it’s my column so I’ll do as I damn well please! I’m seriously bursting at the seams with excitement for both of these titles (which you probably know by now). To be frank, the new Daredevil is without a doubt one of the best ongoing books right now at Marvel. Green Wake on the other hand, is one of the best horror titles anywhere. While these two books may be completely distinct in almost every possible way, they are both truly commendable comics that deserve some attention. Read on for the skinny…

Mark Waid’s newest envisioning of Matt Murdock has been the talk of the town for quite some time in the comic world. Waid has done a bang up job of bringing Daredevil back to life, so to speak, giving him a proper characterization, a wicked storyline, and an all around amazing ongoing title. Daredevil is one of few heroes who wasn’t forced into the fray of Fear Itself, and his lone adventure is one of the most original to come out of Marvel in years. If you’re not reading this book, you simply should be. Holiday Issue 7 launches off a new arc, making it a great place to hop on board. Check out the preview art after the jump.

Alan Moore has always been one cheeky dude, but this 1983 pastiche of Frank Miller’s “Daredevil” takes the cake. Now this Doesn’t overtly reference Miller’s work, but it’s pretty evident if you’ve ever read his Daredevil. Even if you haven’t chanced a look at Miller’s version of the blind super lawyer, this comic is absolutely hilarious constantly sneering at this image:

A Redditor said it best, “Moore was mocking him with his precognitive wizard powers”. Check out the full 4 page parody comic after the jump. Read on for the skinny… READ MORE
