Writer: Chip Zdarsky / Artist: Marco Checchetto / Marvel Comics
Ok, ok I know we been without comics for like 3 months but NOBODY gave Chip Zdarsky the thumbs up to absolutely decimate all of my expectations with Daredevil #20!! Despite fellow writers giving Daredevil #1 the ill co-sign and doing their best to convince me this Daredevil run was one for the record books, I wasn’t on board until now. I’m happy to say my 19 issue catch-up was time well spent.
Daredevil took back control in issue #16. Came for the wealthiest tag team’s pockets in #17. Formed an unexpectedly natural partnership with Detective Cole to get the Libris child back in #18. And realized how far the Stromwyns were willing to go for Hell’s Kitchen in #19.
With no help in sight, Daredevil stares down the gauntlet as Bullet, Stilt Man aka True Value Doc Oc, Crossbones, Bullseye, and Rhino raze his hood and terrorize the civilians he knows and loves. Watching this man use his God-given talents in this issue was truly remarkable and indicative of how great this character can be with the correct writer and artist.
No shade to Fornes or Sharma, but Marco Checchetto is the only person who should have his hands on the artistic vision of this story. He is an agent of chaos on each page and it’s invigorating! Scenes that feature mayhem come to life so vividly that everyone looks like they’re getting in on the action. Panel to panel, you can follow the progression of the story nicely while taking in every shot fired, punch landed, bomb dropped and baton thrown.
Light Spoilers Below
This issue featured some of the best, pure, hand-to-hand action I’ve read in a comic in a while. I love a cool mutant power as much as the next guy, but I can’t get enough of some good ol fisticuffs! I’m talmbout that hand covering a jaw-dropped-mouth action! I’m talmbout that Savage Land level audacity!
I’M TALKIN BOUT MURDA MURDOCK HITTIN RHINO WITH A STONE COLD FUKN DAREDEVIL STUNNER!!!
When I tell you the Sister Elizabeth bomb drop gave me LIFE, I was smiling so hard when she came out looking wilder than Bellatrix Lestrange on a bad day! This issue is full of surprises and you’ll love seeing each come to fruition.
Daredevil #20 was so well paced, written and drawn that I couldn’t wait to go back and read it again. Hell, they even made Stilt Man look menacing for a hot second! I didn’t know how they were going to top last issue’s scene where Hell’s Kitchen civilians pulled up dressed in Daredevil masks to defend their block. That moment damn near brought a tear to my eye, but Chip really showed me after this dopeness! Must read material right here.
10 Daredevil Finishing Moves out of 10!

Following the firing of multiple “Vanderpump Rules” stars for racism, NeNe Leakes appears to be co-signing fans who are calling for the firing of Andy Cohen as well. In response to the firings, Leakes took to Instagram, stating that while the firings were a great start, Bravo still has quite a bit of work to do.
“Well alrighty then! Now we have a few more questions to ask about in other areas where there’s a major difference. Should we talk privately or publicly?” the reality star commented on Bravo’s Instagram statement.
Andy eventually broke his silence on the matter, which prompted NeNe to press further.
“There’s so much happening in the Bravo universe. I will say this: so much talk about Vanderpump Rules and then of course the reunion ended up airing last night. I will say this about what happened. I absolutely support Bravo’s decision, I think it was the right decision,” Cohen said Wendy on his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy. “And I want to remind people because I’ve been getting so many tweets and messages and whatever about “Vanderpump Rules“ and about “Southern Charm” and other shows. I am not, I don’t—I feel like I remind people this all the time—I’m not in charge of programming at Bravo anymore. I am not an Executive Producer of Vanderpump Rules. I don’t have anything to do with the show except I love it and that I host the reunions.”
“I don’t produce the show so what I want people to know is I have no say in hiring and firing,” he added.
Cohen went on to say that he has touched base with “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss about how Bravo can move forward. After reading about Cohen’s comments, Leakes tweeted:
“I find this interesting.”
To which, a fan responded.:
“Change starts at the top. Fire the face of Bravo #fireandycohen.”
While NeNe did not comment on calls to fire Andy, she did appear to co-sign by retweeting them. She did, however, share that she took issue with the fact that Kandi was the only housewife Andy consulted.
“I think it’s interesting how 1 cast member can give you insight when we have all experienced things differently, separately and together. All voices should be heard,” she tweeted.
NeNe clearly has some things to get off of her chest. but it seems that no one at Bravo is giving her the time of day.

Stevie J is saying that his relationship with his wife singer Faith Evans is strong, even after an alleged domestic dispute where Evans was arrested. The Grammy-Award winning producer and Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with The Shade Room.
“That’s my wife and I love her! I’m not going anywhere!” he said, confirming that their feelings are in unison even through their trials and tribulations during their two year marriage.
Multiple commentators were in the couple’s business after Stevie J posted a video of Evans celebrating her birthday on June 10.
“Today a true Queen was born and I’m grateful to be your friend & your husband. You are a gem & I appreciate you & love you for allowing me to see what love truly is #DaJordans,” he wrote.
Days after the alleged dispute, Stevie J shared a video where he asked his followers to appreciate their significant others.
So Stevie’s response to The Shade Room is undoubtedly in response to all the questions he received after Evans’ allegations.
Last week, the couple made headlines when Evans was arrested at their Los Angeles home. As we previously reported, when officers arrived on the scene they allegedly observed cuts on Stevie J’s body. Evans was reportedly bailed out on the same day.
Aside from his domestic woes, Stevie J. told The Shade Room that he’s working on new music. An album he’s producing with Evans is slated to drop sometime in September, and he’s also working with R&B songstress Summer Walker and producer London On Da Track on her latest unreleased project.
