Matt Murdock: The Realest Martyr Alive!

BNP has repeatedly put you on to the fact that Matt Murdock is the trillest hero out chyea. Chip Zdarsky’s current run has been straight flames. Writers continue to come correct when they step up to write Daredevil and I’ve been loving Chip’s take on the Man without Fear. He showed us why Daredevil is the most lethal, yet morally responsible street level hero doin it, and why his arch nemesis Kingpin is still the most dangerous villain lurking in these crime infested streets or sitting proudly in the Mayor’s chair.

Zdarsky also penned one of the best angles of the early issues, involving the classic idea of vigilantism: who gets to uphold the law and who is above it. In an extremely well drawn scene, the homie Spider-Man pulls up on Matt Murdock to keep it real after Daredevil murdered someone.

Daredevil disappears, Fisk becomes Mayor, sparking a wild series of events that brings the best out of everyone in the city, and residents of Hell’s Kitchen in particular. Marvel at the Martyr More recently, Matt Murdock has been paying for his mistakes in the form of a jail cell and assassination attempt. He had chance after chance to beat the case but decided to become be the martyr superheroes need right now. Murdock believed hero’s needed to see someone holding themselves fully accountable for the slip ups and transgressions, in order to make this vigilante world a fair and balanced one.

Real talk, I love…
