The TradeWaiters 132: Marvel Knights Daredevil #26-37 (Underboss) by Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev


In Hell’s Kitchen there stalks a devil. And that devil is Marvel Comics’ trade paperback numbering system. No. For this episode we read issues 26 to 37 of Marvel Knights Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev. Come with us and spend some time with the comics that set the tone for modern Marvel superheroes. We’ll discuss gritty gangsters, the gap between writing and drawing, rotoscoping, and whether ACAB includes the crooked cop who ruined Matt Murdock’s google results.
