Last night in a fit of insanity I re-read DDs 227, 228, 229,
230, and 231 in rapid succession.  The blur of imagery kept me
awake for quite a while longer.  I think this easily outranks
even the "Phoenix" series in X-Men (which I feel is a
"classic").  Reading them one issue at a time over the past
months I got the feeling that they were too dark, too
graphically violent (I HATE the panel where Kingpin's fist comes
down on Matt's vision, and where the nurse chokes Nick to death
with Urich on the phone listening to the sounds).  Reading them
in series I am overwhelmed by the progression of events and the
radical restructuring of Matt Murdock's life and the lives of
those around him.  Frank Miller is doing unbelievable things for
the comics genre right before my very eyes. I am really looking
forward to the Dark Knight series.

But does anyone have any idea where this series is going??
Miller makes me feel like I'm falling off a cliff sometimes.
Here we've got the return of Karen Page, who may or may not
become DD's new/old love interest (I'm anticipating Elektra,
shortly); Matt's mother has jumped into the picture; he's still
got all these financial and professional woes the Kingpin has
dumped on him; Foggy's moving up in the world, with Glori no
less.  Matt's gone through an amazing amount of women in the
last oh, thirty issues (I really miss Natasha.  She suited him
well) and an amazing amount of catastrophe.  I don't have any
idea what's going to happen next and I CAN'T STAND IT MUCH
LONGER!!

Arrrrrggggghhhhhh.  Moriarty should write a Stupid People's
Court for zombies like me.  I'm not a Marvel zombie; I'm a
cliffhanger zombie, perpetually dangling by my fingernails on
the sheer face of a weekly pulp fix.
