Can we just talk about the fact that in the year of 2023 (andnnow 2024), Matt is drawn with a reddish brown short stick that has a curved handle in the new Ahmed run? And i do mean Matt, not Daredevil. How the hell does one screw this up so bad when googling what a white cane looks like takes couple seconds?

We sure can! What the heck is this?

Daredevil vol. 8 #2, lines/inks by Aaron Kuder and colors by Jesus Aburtov

I'm annoyed, but I'm also baffled. This is like if a writer asked for a drawing of a car and the artist drew a Model T. Even without doing that two-second Google search, surely most people nowadays at least have a general sense of what a white cane looks like, don't they? I can't even begin to comprehend how this kind of mistake is still being made, especially(!) after Paolo Rivera did such a beautiful job of redesigning Matt's cane/grapple/billy club combo back in 2011 to make sure it looked accurate and correct.

#even if it's not the 1960s-esque curved support cane. the number of artists who draw matt with a straight white cane that's only like #waist high?#mobility canes are usually chest high at LEAST which is also a quick google search away. come on guys #like logically how are you going to detect and anticipate obstacles with a cane that BARELY reaches beyond your stride. bffr you guys

do not think i've forgotten...he's my everything

hihihiiii so i love daredevil and recently started reading the comics but my knowledge pretty much caps at the netflix show

so i was wondering: who’s mike murdock?? i’m assuming he’s either from a comic (alternate universe?) or a fan concept, but i’ve been trying to figure it out but bc most of the fandom is in hibernation leaving very few comic enjoyers to elaborate, i couldn’t find anything

mike is a real boy and we love him

ok so he started out as a lie matt made up in daredevil #25 back in the 1960s, as an excuse as to why he is not daredevil to the inquiring karen and foggy. no i am not daredevil, my twin brother none of you knew of is :). and he went on to character act good ol' mikey, until all the fake twin business got too complicated, resulting in matt killing off the mike persona.

now fast forward to 2018. up to now, mike was just a silly little thing that happened in the silver age that got referenced every now and then. but one day the daredevil writer charles soule changed this. by making use of the character the reader, an inhuman with reality warping powers that can make anything he reads into a real construct, brought mike to life as he fell asleep reading through daredevil's files. now mike is a real boy, and the silly little guy we knew evolved into someone painfully aware of his existence as someone who wasn't real to begin with. the silly guy is a tragic figure now.

he ends up stealing the norn stones, magical asgardian artifacts, from a criminal he was collaborating with at the time, because he felt tired and depressed of existing as a non-person, and with its power he makes himself into existence as if he had been real all along. now he is a Real real boy, but if the silly guy wasn't enough of a tragic figure, his desire to fill the gaps in his memories and to become a real person backfired with the pain of his father's death, his broken relationship with matt, and the guilt he carries knowing he wasn't real to begin with. and it gets worse because we as readers also have the tragedy of his potential not being fully realized in a lackluster comic run

can you feel him
