Marvel Vs. DC - Daredevil, Hawkgirl and Superhero Fight Club

April 2015

By Ken Parker

Daredevil enters the battle swinging – Marvel's Daredevil was released on Netflix on Friday April 10 and I have to say – what a shame. What a shame that this show is not on a prime network. I managed to catch the first episode and it is excellent. Taking place in the same Avengers Universe, Daredevil manages to remind us that it is part of that same universe in a very subtle way. There is no name dropping in this series. The main characters don't know the Avengers. This small scope series centers on Matt Murdock, who is taking justice in his own hands as Daredevil. He is a well trained fighter who happens to be blind but has heightened senses.

The opening episode has a great story and pace with incredible visuals (I love the color scheme). This series, all 13 episodes are available on Netflix now, from what I can tell, is as good as any of the other Marvel series and that is excellent.

Peter Parker Returns In April's The Amazing Spider - Man

For those who have not been following the adventures of Spider - Man in the comic books will not see this news to be a big deal.  What you did not know is that Doctor Octopus took over Peter Parker's body and sent Peter Parker's brain into his dying body.  So in essence Peter Parker died in Doctor Octopus's body and the evil genius has spent 30 issues as Spider - Man. So starting in April as part of yet another Marvel reboot of their monthly titles Peter Parker will once again be Spider - Man.  The New York Daily News announced this morning after the news leaked last Wednesday and now it is official.  Spider - Man head writer Dan Slott had this to say about the reboot of the book.

“We’ve gone over 30 issues without Peter Parker, so when we let him out of that box and he gets to put on that costume again and he gets to swing through the sky, it’s going to be the greatest feeling,”

It will be curious to see how Peter Parker comes back since the last time we saw his ghost inside the body of Doc Ock and well we know what happened to that body.
