Amazing Reads: Spider-Man The Darkest Hour

Welcome to Amazing Reads. With actual reading. This is a novel. Spider-Man The Darkest Hour is written by Jim Butcher, of Harry Dresden fame. He also wrote Codex Alera, but never read those, I prefer the Urban Fantasy, much like Super-Heroes in some weird way. But let's get to this review.

Aww...Black Cat.

Amazing Reads: Daredevil Volume 3 #16

Alright, so we get to the other reason behind Amazing Reads. Discussing the latest comics that I really like that I don't get to on the podcast. I believe I said this would be for the Spider-Man books, but the other Marvel book I grab is Daredevil. Now you may ask why I'm not doing Amazing Spider-Man 690, or Avenging Spider-Man #10. Or even Peter Parker Spider-Man 156.1. The first two is easy, I haven't read them yet. Peter Parker I just realized came out, so...don't have that one yet. 

But today we talk about Mark Waid's Daredevil. And for those who haven't read anything I've done thus far, this will be spoiler heavy. I would suggest right now you go and get this book. Read it. It's a weird jumping on point, since it's the conclusion to an arc, but it provides the backstory to Matt's Character early on, and...well, it's damn fine reading.

I love the foreboding of this cover.
