"Sheâ€™s extremely believable in that sheâ€™s normal to the point of being a thoroughly unremarkable character, just as most real people, if unaltered, do not make good fictional characters.."

Word. And as one-note as Elektra is, I still find her relatiosnhip with Matt more engaging for the sheer weight of history alone. Same for the Black Widow. Mila? I la-la-la trough her appearances in the book. Just. Not interested.

I still think she's not as one-note as Elektra.

I sort of hate Milla too. I don't know that she ever did enough in the Bendis Daredevil to demonstrate multidimensionality. I couldn't tell you one thing about her tastes or interests, or anything at all about her life aside from the fact that she's a social liberal and runs the Hell's Kitchen housing authority, allowing writers to use her for huge infodumps relating the area's real-world history. Oh, and she sleeps with Matt Murdock when he's not acting unusually crazy. She's extremely believable in that she's normal to the point of being a thoroughly unremarkable character, just as most real people, if unaltered, do not make good fictional characters..

Wait...you hate Milla? She's only like the best, most 3-dimensional believable love interest Murdock ever had in the book!! What is there about her to hate? She's wonderful...

Definitely his best issue yet. Excellent pacing, minimal decompression (or at least to the extent where I didn't feel I was buying a Bendis book where one panel was photocopied 6 times).

The characterization was spot-on, as well!

Brubaker writes in full-script but tailors the amount of detail, based on the artist and his familiarity with the artist's work.

His script for the the Sleeper issue of Coup D'etat, for instance, was more detailed than the scripts for the Sleeper series because he hadn't worked with Jim Lee before, whereas Brubaker and Sean Phillips had developed a rapport over time.

That's what he told Lee here, at least: http://www.newsarama.com/pages/JimLeeWeek/Leearama_4.htm
