Daredevil Day Continues!
Much like me, the whole rest of the Internet is gearing up for the new Daredevil TV show on Friday. Hopefully my List of Six earlier today will be seen by hundreds of thousands (please share!), but also the fine folks at Shirts.com also got in on the fun with this pretty awesome Daredevil costume chart! Enjoy!

6 Silly Daredevil Villains Who Probably Won’t Appear on Netflix
The new Daredevil TV show premieres in only a few days, and early reviews praise it as a phenomenal show that captures the darkness and the grit that comes with the character. Daredevil is a different sort of program than the humor and action packed Avengers movies, while still maintaining that Marvel quality. Vincent D’Onofrio’s performance as the Kingpin is being hailed as a showstopper.
The story of a blind attorney who fights crime in Hell’s Kitchen, Daredevil has consistently been one of Marvel’s best comics — but there’s probably a lot of Daredevil history that’s going to be left on the cutting room floor.
Lady Bullseye is a real thing
For all the great Kingpin stories out there, and the legendary comic runs by Frank Miller and Brian Michael Bendis, Daredevil had his fair share of silliness back in the day. Characters like the Owl and Gladiator are set to premiere in the first season, and classic foes like Bullseye and Elektra are probably shoe-ins for the second season, but beyond those characters, Daredevil’s Rogues Gallery doesn’t have a very deep bench.
Join me after the jump to check out the 6 silliest Daredevil villains, none of whom are probably going to make it into the new Netflix show.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/4/15
I come to you now at the turn of the tides. For the next two months, DC Comics is going to be doing a big Convergence crossover, taking their entire line of comics and doing a bunch of weird alternate reality things that I have simply not kept up with. I have no idea if I’m going to review any DC Comics for the next two months. I might check a few of them out individually, maybe haphazardly and randomly, but I just don’t know for sure.
(Although Greg Rucka’s Renee Montoya comic is an absolute must!)
So we’re going to spend this week saying goodbye to a few of DC’s regular releases. Not only do we (finally!) have the last issue of Batman Eternal, but Batman and Robin comes to an end with a rather amazing Annual issue. It won’t be back after Convergence. And Harley Quinn delivers a pretty fun cliffhanger in advance of the break.
Out of all of them, I’m going to have to give Comic Book of the Week to Batman and Robin Annual #3. You’re going to have to read this one to believe it!
This is a thing that happens in the comic!
Over at Word of the Nerd this week, I reviewed the prologue issue for the new Uncanny Inhumans series. Black Bolt is the star of Uncanny Inhumans #0, and the issue shows why he could easily carry a comic book all on his own.
I am also super pleased to announce the launching of www.GamerGirlandVixen.com, a new site for my own self-published comic! We bought the domain name and are gearing up for our Kickstarter coming next month! Visit the site and follow along with the production!
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #17, Batman Eternal #52, Batman and Robin Annual #3, Doctor Who: The 9th Doctor #1, and Harley Quinn #16.
Even More Daredevil Fun!
The Daredevil TV show is only a week away on Netflix, and early reviews are burning across the Internet! People who have seen a few preview episodes are raving about this show. So obviously, that has me very excited! I cannot wait for this show!
To tide us all over, here are two back-to-back new trailers in one video!
Can’t wait! Can’t wait! I can’t freakin’ wait! Somebody make it Friday already! Oh wait, it is Friday! Gah!

Hawkeye Gets It, Man
We are less than a month away from Avengers: Age of Ultron! And the awesome previews just keep coming!
Every new trailer and commercial reveals something new and amazing about this movie. And I still don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface! Can’t wait. Can. Not. Wait.
