just read Mack's daredevil run.
I love Mack and his art.
Bt I dont get why this was put in the daredevil comic. It could have been a echo mini. It barely has anything to do with Daredevil.
I assume its so Bendis and Alex get a couple month break.
Also, isnt Echo, like...ummm taskmaster?
Why not use Taskmaster? Marvel needs to use that guy.
I wonder if creators like go through the marvel universe handbook and check out cool characters that they could use instead of making up new ones. ( I understand that in THIS case it couldnt have worked, and I'm not busting Mack's chops for using Echo, but in general I ask the question) _________________ I think the intelligy I get is darn good intelligence. - President Bush

This was actually supposed to be an Echo mini, but Bendis and Maleev needed a break, so it was put into the regular series.

I guess she's Taskmaster as far as her powers go, to some degree, but there's so much more to the character than just her powers...characters aren't only their powers, and this is a pretty well rounded PERSON, who has powers similar to Taskmaster. _________________ Formerly known as TBox2001 |

It was supposed to be a mini series, but by doing it this way, more people got to be exposed to Mack's work, and Bendis and Maleeve got more planning time, and I'm just typing this to show that I'm quite aware that I just wrote a fucking terrible sentence. _________________ "A donkey on the outside is a donkey on the inside." -- Red Sophia's mother. |

ah that makes sense.
as for taskmaster, my point was just that I'd like to see in gerneal more old-timey characters being put back in the comics and redone a bit more. _________________ I think the intelligy I get is darn good intelligence. - President Bush

it was announced on fanboy radio tonight that Marvel will be releasing a hardcover book that features all 9 issues of Mack's DD, plus a ton of extra stuff. it will be pretty cool to see his work in that larger format, so this will be a definate must have in the Summer.

Did you check out that Taskmaster series from a while back? It was really good. The UDON team went for a Hong Kong action feel in a comic and I felt that they manage to pull it off pretty well. Also, TM has been a mainstay in Gail's Agent X series. _________________ "...you're so hip, you have trouble seeing your feet..." - Chynna Clugston-Major

Macks run was soooo ssoooooo sooooo SOOOOOOOOO good....i love it...i took it with me to my soon to be father in laws this weekend so he could read it....he thinks comics are stupid but was spellbound by this....he was so taken aback that something like that was being done in a comic book medium...he told me to pick it up for him if/when it comes out in HC or trade....he's quite interested in seeing more of Macks work so i'm taking him kabuki next time...also taking TSSTG _________________

I think the hardcover is June or July. Plenty of time for our Portland signing in October!
Thanks all,
for the kind words.
