Comics have amped up the “logical” human casualties of super-powered action scenes to the point that Damage Control would now have to be set off to the sides of continuity even more than before, perhaps entirely outside it.

They cleaned up after WWH, with rescuing human survivors as their top priority,

And then the Chrysler building came alive, and it was funny.

Part of the humor is the idea that the superheroes vs. supervillains conflicts are, for most people, massive infrastructural and property damage headaches. The firm’s employees are good people, but in the way a friendly neighbor with a strong professional work ethic is a “good guy.” The fact that they don’t topple the Kingpin or go out of their way to financially hurt him reflects that; I doubt anybody here with a 9-to-5 office job spends lots of time trying to get the goods on their company’s former or current investors. Again, that’s the joke: the Kingpin is the guy that hurts Daredevil, not the rest of humanity, for the purposes of this series.

The old Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League International did this from the superhero end after its first year or so, typically presenting conflicts between ineffectual heroes and villains in which the general public was a non-factor no matter who won. That’s why Despero showing up and actually killing people was such a huge deal.

This worked a lot better at both Marvel and DC in the 1980s, when outside of the X-books the average villain wasn’t bent on genocide and Electro didn’t flash-fry 60 cops every time he tried to rob a bank. Comics have amped up the “logical” human casualties of super-powered action scenes to the point that Damage Control would now have to be set off to the sides of continuity even more than before, perhaps entirely outside it.

Of course the “drama isn’t compelling” to you, you’ve only read one issue of the series!

COP OUT!

If that’s the case, they shouldn’t have released it as a serial!

Also, how did you get into comics if you didn’t jump into a story mid-way? I did, and good one’s got me hooked!
So if some mid-story issues/conclusion issues can do that, shouldn’t they all?

That said, Damage Control rule!
The WWH Damage Control mini was the second best thing to come out of WWH!
(The best of course, being a Hercules book!)

I know that when I first got into comics, I had no filter – anything that looked cool on the spinner rack to my young eyes, I bought, so long as I had a dollar in my pocket to do so. The more you read, though, the more you can recognize the good stuff and separate it from the bad. Then when you go back and look at the stuff you loved at that age, you wonder how you ever enjoyed that garbage.
