Daredevil, Vol. 1: Guardian Devil by Kevin Smith
1.0
I normally review on my tablet after I finish a comic but this was SO fucking awful I had to wait to get on my computer so I can really express how much I hated this shit.
I double checked to see if this the one I read because that fun blurb about being besties with Spider-man was not this at all?
It's so funny to me because I already didn't like Kevin Smith from everything I've ever seen from him / about him. Dude gives bad vibes and this just slams that home. He isn't a good writer, send tweet.
First off the story is absolute bat shit- and not in a good way. Daredevil is told that some random baby is the antichrist and everyone around it is cursed. What does he try to do? Oh throw it OFF THE ROOF... TWICE (once with him along with it). Then we have Foggy being called a rapist and getting arrested after a woman he was (cheating on his gf with) turned into a lizard person and then jumped out a window. THEN THEN Karen shows up and she's done awful things to Matt in the past before ditching him but she's back and now has AIDS.
The art was horrible and ugly to look at. The way women were treated (and drawn) in here was so awful and while I love seeing my girl Black Widow, yeah I wish she didn't make an appearance. Then oh yeah Daredevil had a gf get killed by Bullseye before? Yes let's do it again!! It's so ick that some of this made it into the show (but the show did it 100% better than this dude ever could ofc). I don't know if this was prior characterization but I'm glad this awful portrayal of Karen didn't make it to the show because what the fuck? Talk about hating women.
The over the top plot was such a joke and then the end of it was just??? It was so drawn out over so many issues for very little content, but a LOT of dialogue that was unnecessary.
In the end it was literally Mysterio all along and he spent like 20 pages monologuing his entire plan only to be defeated by Matt simply going "no u". It explains why Matt was acting like a fucking psycho half the time and Dr Strange was pretty cool in this but it was so stupid??? All of this was SO dumb and then the later issues were just Matt about to kill himself and being emo over another dead gf.
Awful. How you gonna do my boy Daredevil like this?
