Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

On average, Daredevil is my favorite comic character, period. Not necessarily every single story arc, or every writer's take, but the overall character that is beneath all of those.
My favorite DC character is usually Batman, but they reboot so damn often that it makes it hard to have a relatively stable character at all, so it's more that I like the idea of Batman, and enjoy only some of the story arcs here and there.
Daredevil at least has a relatively consistent personality and ethos. Otherwise they'd be equally "favorite" for me. I really dig the idea of what is basically a regular person that has no or no extreme powers doing their best to overcome tragedy. Yeah, technically, DD has a super power, but it isn't very super, it comes with limitations and one of those limits is that it's only perceptions. That's really no different in scale from Batman's "genius" imo.
Mind you, with all of that, my "favorites" are really thin margins between them and the rest of my "favorites list" that are below them. And there are eras of a given character or a specific story arc where a character that would rank lower as a character ends up being much higher. An example of that is The Immortal Hulk storyline. Probably my second or third favorite story arc ever, despite Hulk being further down my list than someone like Spiderman, that I really like a lot more as a character overall.
