Daredevil #40 -- WTF Bendis

While I usually enjoy Bendis' work, I have to admit I was disappointed by the ending of this storyline...I think it would have been much more effective to have Matt win the case and get the White Tiger acquitted, only to realize what a pyrrhic victory it was. Hector's life is still ruined; his marriage is over, his crimefighting career is over, and most people still believe he's guilty and only got off because of his lawyer. Such an ending not only strikes me as more believable and emotionally satisfying than Hector's escape attempt and death, but it also leaves it open for either Bendis or another creator to follow up on the consequences of such an outcome on Hector's life.

This is the saddest thing I have read here. If a hero is wrongly convicted and is shot by the very people he fought for and dies, it is a bad story.

If the same person is wrongly convicted and is shot by the very people he fought for but somehow is resurrected or rescued or it was the superskrull or a clone or one of Doom's tigerbots , it is a good story.

Have you actually READ this story? Have you bought even one of the issues? Or are your critical faculties so bloody enhanced that you have dispensed with reading altogether?

In fact, why stop at critiquing published stuff you haven't read, maybe you could give us your opinion on stuff that hasn't even been published, solicited or thought up yet? How about you post us your valuable reviews of DD vol 3 issue 88?

Beleive it or not, good writing does not consist solely of inventing new super-powered characters. If it did, Chris Claremont's Xbooks and the various 'What If's would have been classics of western literature.

Whoever created White Tiger didn't create anything too

This verges on the meaningless.

C'mon Bendis. Follow in the

But this is worse. Why is it 'talented and decent' to kill off a fictional character that you created, but not a fictional character someone else created? These are fictional characters.
