You're both going to be like: "wow, if Marvel always did Daredevil in such a cool way, I'd have been reading it for the last 20 years!"

So I read the first trade!
Definitely some solid super-heroing going on here! Interested enough to check out more, at least!

^ I knew you'd enjoy it! As I said, it's much better than a lot of what is being published by either DC or Marvel.
So I've been thinking about other comics to recommend EDE, and it's kind of a cool process because I know Eryk will buy single issues digitally. So I started to think, which single issue stories of the last few years would be good recommendations?
- Certainly the first and second issue of the brand new Lone Ranger series by Dynamite. These are fantastic done in one stories that could easily be feature length films. Excellent stuff.
- One of the coolest pirate stories I've ever read was in Elephantmen #7 by Image. It features an anthropomorphic Hippo as the Captain, so that should clue you in that its very fairy tale-esque; but its quite frankly a pretty brillaint story with some heavy subject matter.
- Avenging Spider-Man #5 was a pretty great one issue story featuring Spider-Man and Captain America but I'm not sure how great it would be to someone who doesn't already love those characters. So that gets a recommendation but slightly less strong than the others. Likewise, FF #17 features one of the best 'two heroes as roomates' / 'night out on the town' story I've read in a long time featuring Spider-Man and the Human Torch. Both of these issues are more personal than action-driven but they are both pretty fantastic.
As for ongoing series or mini-series that I think Eryk will really love, he's already checking out two brillaint ones in Peter Panzerfaust and Danger Club. One brand spanking new one that I know he'll enjoy is Resident Alien by Dark Horse, which only has the first #0 issue out (collecting three back-up stories that kicked it off).
Saga and Fatale, of course are the amazing new series by Image. Each one having the potential to be the new flagship series of their respective genre in comics (sci-fi and noir).
There was a four issue series that I loved a few years ago called Four Eyes, about a boy in the depression who gains a pet dragon. In this depression, you see, illegal dragon fighting is a major spectacle and run by gangsters.
So there are a few more recommendations!

Also, I flipped through Danger Club #3 today at the comic store ... I really enjoyed it but decided to wait for the trade as it seemed really in the middle of things. can't wait.
