Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2

Liz says: Having just binge-watched my way through Season 2 of the Marvel Netflix Daredevil series, the only thing to do now is read (or re-read) some of the amazing stories from which it was inspired.

This season introduced two of my absolute favorite Marvel characters: The Punisher and Elektra (both of whom were flawlessly cast). The obvious place to start with the Punisher would be with the work of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon – one iconic scene is lifted directly from the pages of their notorious Marvel Knights series ‘Welcome Back, Frank’.

As for Elektra, Frank Miller’s Daredevil is still the best introductory point and the prime source from which the show is channeling. Also worth mentioning is Ann Nocenti’s ‘A Touch of Typhoid’ (a classic Daredevil story with brilliant Punisher/Daredevil interactions) and Brian Michael Bendis’ Daredevil.
