The only problem? "Mike" still had the color sense of a blind man...

P.S. Can we bring back Mike Murdock, Mr. Waid? Please...?

Bold Fashion Choices--Blame It On The Evil Twin!
You remember, of course, the ridiculously awful costume that Matt Murdock first wore as Daredevil, right?
Well, the idea that maybe a blind guy might not be the best fashionista didn't sink in, because it wasn't too much longer that Matt Murdock had to play the role of his completely-made-up identical twin brother Mike Murdock, goofy wastrel and plausible suspect for Daredevil's secret identity.

Dude...what is it with you and the yellow?!?

The entire Mike Murdock subplot drove me insane. That DD could successfully live two center-stage double lives was implausible even for comic books, and Mike "himself" was insufferable. Every issue I hoped Mike would die a valiant fake death protecting his friends--or just be run over by the Spider-Moblie. Mr Waid, can we please never have Mike Murdock back?
