What the hell, Waid?
24 Jul 2014 09:05... was Mark Waid bodyswapped with Rick Remender?
Pages from Daredevil #6 seem to say yes.
So Battlin' Jack Murdock has now joined Joseph Rogers in the retroactive paternal demonization of "let's have everyone be the product of an abusive childhood!" theme Marvel is going for these days. Matt's hero is now a villain, since apparently nobody can choose to do crazy things for good just because they feel the urge. They need tortured motivations.
(Seriously. Matt Murdock's entire history is a testament to what happens when nobility meets recklessness meets poor impulse control meets intelligence. He doesn't need the trauma drama any more than Captain America did.)
And once you recover from that, we can move on to Matt's mom, now Sister Maggie, becoming a nun vigilante, getting arrested without any charges filed and sentenced by a military tribunal to imprisonment in a foreign country in a kind of weird extraordinary rendition.
What the everloving hell, Waid? When you moved Matt to San Francisco for the hell of it, we weren't expecting you to start dropping acid and tripping while you wrote your scripts.
