Face Front, True Believer! Illegal Machine's back on his gap years Armored Avenger reading with the launching story arc for Iron Man Volume 4, written by Warren Ellis with painted art by Adi Granov! This story heavily influenced the 2008 movie, and was the basis for its 2013 sequel, plus was turned into a 2010 motion comic by the short-lived Marvel Knights Animation! Then Diabolu Frank offers a brief look at Granov's 2013 mini-series Captain America: Living Legend with Andy Diggle! And on occasion, Mr. Fixit talks a little bit, espcially during a What If...? season two tangent! And if you stay for the stinger, X-Men/Wolverine talk! You didn't think we could get through a single episode without griping about the MCU, did you? Excelsior!

Face Front, True Believer! Diabolu Frank leans into hellish handle by insisting Illegal Machine & Mr. Fixit join him in exploring the comics and cinematic life of Matthew Michael Murdock, the most famous blind defense attorney in the Marvel Universe! Oh, and also "The Devil of Hell's Kitchen," which was a much more imposing monicker before it gentrified into Clinton! We span the origin through an overview of the comics from 1964-2014 (we're completely ignorant of the past decade, so maybe call this a very belated half-century celebration?) Our emphasis of course is on the Frank Miller years through Mark Waid (with a curious detour into Bengal territory!) And as is our tendency, we get into the adaptations into animation and live action, primarily 1989's The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, BlindFleck in 2003's Daredevil, Bennifer Garner's 2005 Elektra, and 2016's Netflix Daredevil! Season 2! And by extention, there's side chats on Elektra Natchios, Frank Castle, and so on! Excelsior!
