One A Day 2.0 Day #444 - Squid

[SDcomics]

Sure, Blackwing would be cool. He's a classic old Bronze Age Daredevil villain that was created by Gerry Conway and Don Heck. And I like his costume.

And I know I'm going to take a shellacking for this, but I'd really love some of DD's goofy Silver Age baddies, too. Matador, Jester, Gladiator, the Enforcers, Masked Marauder, the Circus of Crime ... they're silly but they'd be fun. I mean, what the hell. We got Leap Frog, Stilt Man and the Owl.

I'd get original Blackwing. Beak version was from a version of the New Warriors that was a swing and a miss for me personally.

I’d rather have anyone on this cover than Blackwing, who I’ve never heard of.

Day #444 - Squid

Would I buy? Oh yeah
Which version? Circles or lines? I like the circles

Cool and toyetic - need I say more?

 

[Thor-El]

I'm unfamiliar with this character, so he'd be a pass.

 

[docsilence]

I think Squid is fun, but I could see him having bendy tentacles and I have terrible luck with bendy tentacles.

I am pretty unfamiliar with Blackwing but just looking at the character I keep thinking: he'd be a REALLY fun Marvel Legends. Just some old school comics shenanigans going on there.

 

[Chooch555]

Yes.

 

[Ultra Seven]

Little catching up ...

Namora is a yes but not a priority. I'd take either the Golden Age or Agents of Atlas version, but I'd prefer some of her colleagues from either of those eras first.

Blackwing is also a yes, though definitely not a top-priority Daredevil villain. Cool look, and I remember his bronze age appearances bizarrely well (I dunno, things stick with you if you read them at the right age). Completely in agreement (as usual) with @SDcomics about getting some silver age Daredevil morts first.

Squid ... eh, sure. You can never have too many Spider-Man villains. Though again, there is a laundry list I'd rather have first.

 

[docsilence]

Oh, I missed Namora! I need an Agents of Atlas era Namora. I need a full set of Agents of Atlas from the original run.

 

[TFitz]

Another pass for me.

 

[tasmaniantwister]

Squid would be fun to get. Definitely team circles.

 

[BasilElks]

Could be cool as a BAF or Deluxe.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

I’ve not read anything with Squid in it (but likely squid ink), but he’s pretty toyetic. So while he’s not a priority for me, I might pick him up in a BAF wave.

Gotta echo (pun intended) the call for more classic DD rogues. Gladiator and Jester in particular.
