[ I PUT THE ART IN HEART ] |
TO QUOTE Mahatma Gandhi: 'An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind'.
THE REVIEW:
Have you ever been a
witness to a roadside accident? If so, then you'd know all to well how shocking
this sight could be. One minute you could be walking down the road, minding
your own business, and the next minute, BANG!, you'd see some poor sap slapped
for a six by a Suzuki. It's not a nice sight at all, not for anyone. If anything, this type
of event could be a life-changer, and show you just how fragile we are as human
beings.
Now I'm sure you're wondering to yourself why I'm telling you this, here, in my supposed review of Daredevil #14. Well, my reasons are pretty obvious, as this is my way of explaining to you how shocked I was while reading it.

For arguments sake, let's
just say that someone gets hurt, really hurt, and someone else gets taken into
custody by Frank McGee and his Inhuman Task-Force. However,
what I would like to emphasize, is that the manner in which this
person is hurt is done so as if you were witnessing a car accident -- Bang!
Ouch! What the ffuuuu? This analogy then plays out even more so during the aftermath,
because once, coff-coff, is detained, the way in which he's caught
is carried out in such a procedural manner, it kind of reminded me of a victim
being taken off to hospital, or morgue, depending on the breaks.
How this book's conclusion will affect the future of this series is anyone's guess. For a couple of months obviously someone will not be showing up all that often. But that said, it's quite possible that this same someone may get a boost because of his injuries, or better yet, maybe even an enhancement.

But hey, it is. Thank God it is. It's a great comic book which was created by a great creative team, Charles Soule and Ron Garney, both of whom are worthy successors to the previous creative team, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. And trust me, I didn't think I would ever hear myself say that. Good job, guys. Let's see what happens next month.
THE MUSIC:
In a very ironic fashion I'd now like to musically match-up
this issue with the Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons song, 'Can't Take My
Eyes off You'. If you want to know why I've done this, I'm afraid you're going
to have to pick up this book.
THE COMPARISON:
In 1959, Roger Corman directed a film for AIP
starring Dick Miller called 'A Bucket of Blood',
which was about a deranged artist who turned his victims into works of art. Now
doesn't that sound familiar to you, Charles Soule? Comparison made, wink-wink!
THE CONCLUSION:
At the very end of
this issue Muse takes off his mask and reveals his true face. So out of
curiosity, who, or what, do you think he looks like? Could he look something like...
- Brad Pitt.
- Barry Manilow.
- Johnny Depp.
- Vincent Price.
- Ben Affleck.
- A cabbage.
- A cauliflower.
- He has the same dead rabbit looking face, just without the mask.
Nuff said.
