so I just watched the daredevil shows and I caught the fisk flu... do you have any kingpin-centric comic recommendations? perhaps something with vanessa, although I don't think she ever got a lot of limelight in the comics.

I'm going to read the main daredevil runs eventually but I hauve so much covid about willie right now.... I wish he was more popular in this website, I'm parched 😔

Oh, thank you for asking me! (◕‿◕✿) And I agree, not enough Fisk love in this fandom, despite being such a big (double meaning) character. One of the best villains of all time, unappreciated! But I'm happy to help with some recs where I can. You may, in fact, regret asking. xD

I wish I had better news on the Vanessa front. The unfortunate thing about her character, especially in Daredevil comics, is that she spends most of it in a coma of sorts. So you're very right about her never getting as much focus as you'd think, given her undeniable influence over him. But I'll try to give some suggestions with her and then mention my fav Fisk comics overall.

I'm admittedly guilty of not fully reading every Spider-Man comic with his origins. (I need to do that.) But if you wanna see this man be an absolute simp for his wife, I love The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #197. Vanessa gives him 24 hours to quit crime, or she'll leave him. Fisk tries using his limited time to finish off Spider-Man and comes close, but at the last second, time runs out and Vanessa puts her foot down. He caves and they leave New York for Japan, where he legitimately quits crime to be with her. ♥

.......He quits crime until Daredevil #170. Which is another rec from me. Fisk planned on being good and turning past accomplices over to law enforcement. Vanessa goes ahead to NYC to help coordinate this (at the law office of Nelson & Murdock, of course), but she's kidnapped by the accomplices Fisk would betray. Needless to say, he immediately falls into old patterns to get her back safely. However, she is presumably killed in the fallout. She IS alive, of course, but not only does Fisk not know this (yet), she has lost her memories. Which sets the unfortunate tone for most of her character for the rest of her time. Even when he gets her back, she is mostly confined to a bed, having little presence other than moments when Fisk visits her and is sad.

But an amazing one-off comic about the conclusion of this dynamic is when Fisk hires a professional to help her mental state. Daredevil: Love and War (1986) is art in every way. It's a long one, but so good about showing Fisk's love for her, putting her own well-being over what he wants. Matt ends the comic somberly remarking that Fisk will never see her again, and sadly, this is pretty much true. So yes, despite Fisk's love for Vanessa being a very big deal due to how he feels for her, we never get to see it very much. I remember being surprised just how little there is.

Vanessa isn't really seen again until Daredevil (1998) #29, when she finds out Fisk was nearly killed. (Ironically, he's unconscious in bed this time.) There's a good bit to read in the middle, but Vanessa's arc comes to this wonderfully dramatic and tragic conclusion in Daredevil (1998) #92 and #93. The latter is good Fisk angst. 👌

_______________

But for recs specifically about Fisk, I got you, anon. 👍 I'd say def hit the ones in red. The ones in blue, I leave up to you.

I'll warn you now that Fisk does appear a lot in Spider-Man and Punisher comics as well, but my personal reading bias skews very obviously towards Daredevil. (Though I have occasionally read others.) I like how he's portrayed in it best. SM goes a little too over-the-top with Fisk imo (understandable since he's physically weaker than a hero with vibes that demand camp), and Punisher... idk. I think SM comics want a vintage Bond villain and Punisher comics want a more flat, evil, thriller movie villain. If that makes sense.

If someone knows really good Fisk content I'm missing out on from other comic series, let me know!

Definitely pick up at Daredevil (1964) #170 where he's introduced in DD. I would especially recommend #170-#172 about him getting re-established as Kingpin, but reading some after that can't hurt. I adore the dynamic Fisk had with Daredevil for a time. It was so interesting for both their characters' sake. Especially in instances like #190. I highkey mourn what we lost from this comic era, when Matt would go to him for information and they would have their little tete-a-tete with mutual backscratching. It was so much more interesting (imo) than the deep hatred they usually display.

And then starting at #202, there's a character named Micah Synn who slowly becomes a mutual antagonist to them both. (Fisk is involved in #206 and #210-#214.) I wouldn't say it's "required" Fisk reading, just an interesting arc I like. It has great moments like this one from #211 of Fisk and Matt agreeing to work together. (I know I'm a shipper, but even taking my glasses off, this is so gooooooood!)

There is, of course, the notorious Born Again arc from issues #227-#233. It's a staple of their relationship taking a sharp turn, with Fisk trying to destroy his life. (Crazy how things between them change so much in just a dozen issues? But, ya know, different writers gonna write different.)

Here is where to read Daredevil: Love and War.

I recommend picking up at #254 with the introduction of Fisk hiring Typhoid Mary. Since Fisk and Mary are married now in recent comics, I think it's somewhat important to see how things started between them. (Maybe hit #254-#257 then #259-#263.) #261 is... ahem... not not hot. 👀 They absolutely destroy his office. lol.

If you ask me, #297-#300 feel like the very delayed conclusion of Born Again. It's really good from the ironic outlook of Fisk losing everything after he tried destroying Matt's life. With #300 culminating in this one page I love. I love. I love sooo much.

After that, Fisk begins his slow rise back to power, coming up from literally homeless on the subway. I love his perseverance to always work his way back up. It's one of my favorite qualities about the character. You can follow his ascent if you choose.

I'd say the time to really clock back in for Fisk is in Daredevil (1998) #10-#15 with the Echo arc and how he raised Maya. But if you read no other issue therein, read #15. It finally details his origin from childhood poverty. It's different from the tv series but also clear how they were inspired by the comic to write episode 1x08. Fisk is blinded at the end of this arc (basically the Hawkeye tv finale), so he is taken out of play for a time, so to speak.

In Daredevil (1998) #27, he is stabbed on his son Richard's orders. This is when Vanessa comes back into the picture. Admittedly, I have not read this whole arc through, just bits and pieces. ^-^; You can read it for the Vanessa parts. Her retribution towards Richard, dismantling Fisk's empire, and having Fisk sent overseas for treatment (that also restores his sight) is important. But Fisk himself is not in it very much.

Another rise to power starting in Daredevil (1998) #46 as Fisk takes back the empire Vanessa sold off. Kinda ends with him going to prison in #50, so you could say there's not much to gain from reading it as we're at square -1 with not enough about Fisk's character to make it worthwhile, imo. (Not my favorite writing with him, to say the least. Like wtf?)

Starting in Daredevil (1998) #76, you have the Murdock Papers arc with Fisk trying to cut a deal to incriminate Matt as Daredevil to bargain for his own freedom. Admittedly, it's another I haven't fully read through. Some arcs just don't hit right for me. You could feel differently though. My favorite part is how this concludes in #81 with them both going to prison. lol.

I do like where it immediately picks up in Daredevil (1998) #82. Prison arc is good, and you can see where the Born Again tv series took inspiration all the way up through #93. For Fisk reasons, I like #85-#86 with Fisk and Matt working together to break free and not die. And then #92-#93 where you see Vanessa was behind trying to kill them. At the end of #93, Matt represents Fisk as his attorney to get him out of prison, Vanessa's dying request. Definitely read #93.

Following his agreement with Matt, Fisk leaves the country. I love where we pick up with him in Daredevil (1998) #116. It's been two years following Vanessa's death, and Fisk is still mourning. But in Spain, he meets a woman and her two children and begins to sort of be happy again. It reminds me a lot of how Fisk was at the beginning of Daredevil #170, content to leave crime behind and be happy in love.

I wish things ended better, of course, but I also love the following issue #117. (I think #117 is notable for another reason, and it's that Charlie gave a physical copy to Vincent as a gift that he keeps in his office. ♥) And then you'll possibly want to read that arc to its conclusion, but definitely read #116-#117.

Not DD but Savage Wolverine (2013) #6-#8 is good for Vanessa and Fisk angst reasons. Fisk becomes the leader of the Hand but they test him by resurrecting Vanessa to kill him or make him kill her. She's a bit zombie-ish, but it's a good/tragic little character arc.

I feel weird saying it because there are parts I genuinely do like, but I also sort of feel like the San Francisco arc (with him and Matt "coincidentally" on the other side of the country) could be skipped. If we're strictly going for Fisk highlights that I like most and recommend. I think the biggest point for me is that his memory is erased along with the rest of the world and he no longer knows Matt Murdock is Daredevil.

So insteeeeead... I'd suggest jumping right into the Mayor Fisk arc, tbh. Technically begins at the tail end of Daredevil (2015) #28, but all you really get from it is a page of Foggy telling Matt over the phone that Fisk just won the election. You're fine to pick up at Daredevil (2015) #595. (Don't let the number fool you. They switched to counting total number of DD comics instead of being broken up by different volumes.) I much prefer the comic Mayor Fisk arc to... what Born Again tv was. (Deputy Mayor Murdock, yes!) Matt tries to overthrow him but sorta has to accept Fisk as mayor by the end of the story in #605. I think I'd suggest reading all issues between the two.

Getting closer to modern comics and the numbering convention changes again. You can probably hit Daredevil (2019) in its entirety as Zdarsky builds on his own writing. 36 issues, so I'll leave it up to you. It's hard to suggest what to read or not read as it's all very interconnected. Difficult to skip around. My favorite Fisk parts are him vs the Stromwyns (powerful rich family) starting in #12 where he soon becomes afraid of them. Which comes to a head in #20 when he disobeys them and fights with Daredevil to protect citizens. I do like that within this run, he begins to fall for Typhoid Mary on an emotional level, where before it was more physical. At the end of #35, he proposes marriage, and in #36, they get married. This run is also notable for bringing in Butch (Fisk's illegitimate son he didn't know about) as a character, who is trying to become a criminal kingpin.

The Devil's Reign (2021) arc is undoubtedly what the Born Again tv series is working towards for S2, but I kinda doubt they'll do it right. (How can they?) Anyway... it's about Matt finally removing Fisk as mayor once and for all. Six issues, fairly dramatic, probably best to read the whole thing. Ends with Fisk retiring from Kingpin yet again.

It's difficult to suggest anything past that. Fisk has shown up in some stuff, and while I like parts of what we've had, nothing so far has really wowed me. I do feel they might have something in the works with him though, and I'd really like to know what the heck it is. (He may have found religion after being possessed by a demon? idk.)

Non-Daredevil Comics

Big recommend for Kingpin (2017). Obviously. It's a 5-issue run about him. I've read it a few times. It's Fisk trying to get a journalist to write a biography about him. He tries to play her, of course, by exaggerating his good side while she tries to dig deeper. But there are interesting bits that clearly aren't just for her sake, like learning Fisk has built a children's hospital he named after Vanessa. But still with plenty of dark Kingpin bits to balance things out.

I think Civil War II: Kingpin (2016) is a good one to read. Yet another instance of Fisk regaining power from nothing amidst a Minority Report-style plot where an inhuman is capable of predicting crimes before they happen. Which obviously makes crime difficult. But Fisk finds a little guy who negates that effect, allowing him to do his criming again. There is a non-zero chance I just like this intimate handwashing scene.

Kingpin (2003) is another short run about Fisk. It's an origin story as well, detailing him first rising through the ranks to be Kingpin, but this is NOT 616 Fisk. It is another, similar reality. I don't know why I don't care for it very much. If I'm being truthful, this one doesn't grab me like I wish it did, and I may have mostly skimmed it. But you might like it.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #32-#36 is a more cartoonish Fisk, but I don't mean that in a bad way. I don't think you really need to know much about the juvenile hero Moon Girl to jump right in. (Smart science girl has a dinosaur.) I like this arc with Fisk because we suddenly learn about an adopted daughter he has named Princess. She's a brat and I love her. I love how Fisk spoils her. I am the target audience for this silly little plot.

Doctor Strange (2015) #21-#24 seems like a weird choice. Because it is. But I like Fisk's inclusion in it. The city is overrun by monsters and he joins the heroes to try and set things right. He flies a limo into a giant creature, he comes out as a Lord of the Rings fan, he gets a possessed skull to play with. It's fun.

I like Spider-Man: King's Ransom. There are some comics leading up to the event, but I'm really just in it for the very end where Fisk has a magic tablet to undo death. He makes the selfless decision to forgo resurrecting Vanessa and bring back their son Richard instead.

Love What If...? (1989) #73. I've actually thought about uploading the whole issue into a tumblr post because it's 24 pages and who's going to stop me? Basically an AU where Fisk adopts Matt after Jack is killed. I think it's interesting from both characters' perspective how much they grow to care for each other. With Fisk even promising to quit crime after years of adult Matt defending him in court.

Daredevil Noir (2009) is okay. I'm gonna be real with you. I just like this Fisk. But a 1930s AU is always fun, right?

1872 is a western AU where Fisk is mayor of the small town. I really like it, but I like westerns so I may just be biased. I just wish we had more leading up to the events of the four-issue series because it says Fisk was a good man before, and I would have enjoyed watching his corruption arc.

Again, if I'm leaving out any good Fisk canon, I hope people let me know. I'm always on the lookout.

Thanks again for asking, and I hope I was able to help!

#Oops I rambled again #But hey anon maybe this helps your acute Fisk illness #Hahahahaha #Come back any time you want to discuss him #And if you find a good Fisk comic I didn't mention here hit me up!#I may be unaware or it may have slipped my mind #I love Fisk #Yes I do #Marvel #Daredevil #Wilson Fisk #Kingpin

How did you manage to handle not one, but FOUR separate accounts in fl? I recently made the account for my HD little guy but having to do the tutorial again just seems miserable

there's... weirdly several answers to that question, actually??

a HUGE part of it is due to the way FL is structured. the 10-minute action timer is a core part of the game on a fundamental level, and the fact that i can very easily run out of stuff to do on one character and thus have an excuse to quickly and easily swap to another is just... convenient? satisfying? i'm not entirely sure how to explain it. the fact that i can make progress even while i am fundamentally simultaneously Not Making Progress is like pure dopamine for my freak insane awful little brain. there's just something really pleasing about spending all of my actions pursuing The Goal Of The Day™ on one account before casually swapping to another and doing the same without feeling like i'm wasting time or acting to the first account's explicit detriment. the downtime helps! the recharge time helps! the structure really really works!!

i'm technically only actively playing three, maybe two accounts minimum. the only reason the fourth (the one that'll be my future BaL playthrough) currently exists at all is so i can get his earlygame completely out of the way now and not have to waste time running through it all later, when what i actually want to do is play the ambition i've made myself wait a full year to play. and also getting free goodies as seasonal stuff happens,, something something surprise tools to help us later. the only two accounts i'd say i'm really "actively playing" at the moment are caeru and lark- and of the two, lark takes the most priority, since his ambition is the one i'm currently pursuing in earnest. for a couple months now- despite being My Main FL Character- the scoundrel has actually been pretty inactive on a gameplay front outside of the occasional progression in TLC and discordance content. purely by virtue of having Very little left to do outside of Very long-term grinds and vanities. they're in their "now what?" "now you can start playing the game" era. they've graduated to previous protagonist background cameo in a sequel anime series. they're like the yin FLPC equivalent of red at the top of mount silver. they're Literally just vibing rn. i only keep posting about them regardless because i'm insane and i will never ever ever ever ever let that bat go. but yeah, big TLDR, outside of doing the bare minimum to keep making waves/notability up every week, i'm not actually spending that much time on accounts i'm not currently actively interested in playing. and that accounts for way more gaming spoons than you might think.

i have a virtually lifelong history of playing MMOs, especially and specifically world of warcraft. i was born in the endless grind for useless video game pixel vanities and/or bragging rights. molded by it. you all have merely adapted to doing the same piece of content a pointlessly excessive amount of times for literally no reason besides whimsy and folly. me? i've done my time. i've served my sentence. i've spent weeks doing the original burning crusade netherwing dailies. i've devoted days to running praetorium over and over and over again, back-to-back, nonstop, long before square enix cut it in half and made it NOT take at minimum an hour and a half per run. i've perfected my silverwastes + auric basin goldfarming strategies. i've (almost) crafted dragonwrath tarecgosa's rest. i've killed the sha of anger so many times its dying scream of agony is embedded into the very fabric of my being. ""only"" doing making your name content four times over? that is nothing to me. it means nothing to me. it is so infinitesimal i can do the persuasive seduction quests in my sleep. it's not a matter of handling misery, or having the capacity, or even sighing as i remember the brass embassy raid segment of the watchful questline seriously i don't know why i keep forgetting that exists or what even is my problem with it i just am so consistently mildly inconvenienced by it and its highly specific resource requirements and it is the worst thing ever. maybe i'm just so used to the scoundrel's near-infinite money and troves of disposable items that i've completely forgotten what being poor is like. despite having done that step 3 fucking times now. ahem. anyway. i have transcended the feeble mortal bindings of my resistant-to-grinding flesh and ascended to a higher plane of enlightenment, they may call me insane but they will be the ones left laughing when they see what that "insanity" has wrought, i've usurped them, i've usurped them all-

hacks and coughs and awkwardly clears my throat. i mean. uh. um. Ahem.

the empress' court artistry + tales of the university nerfs helped too.

#and yes #before you ask #i have forgotten which account has which items/has done which content many a time #i think the most painful incident was forgetting to keep up the scoundrel's making waves while i was still playing nemesis with caeru #given that im trying to build it up to 12 and reset their specialization... that was uniquely painful #then again they have like 40 BDR so it wasnt actually that inconveniencing lmao #fallen london #ask #long post #sorry for the infodump + sudden villain monologue.#all jokes and personal accounts aside i totally get the apprehension abt doing that stuff again #it's not for everyone. not by a long shot.#im only doing this because im genuinely invested and in love with this silly little browser game #and way back when i started i made a (only half metaphorical) solemn oath to experience all of its ''main stories''#and truly see everything it has to offer #(bc i like. physically cant do hyperfixations by halves. i need to consume Everything abt the thing or i'll explode)#(and even then i'll probably explode anyway. it's either completely drop it or go All In until it stops taking up so much space in my brain #(and. given the track record. that is not happening with FL for a while yet)#but like. that isnt actually normal behavior. just. just to clarify.#from what ive seen a VAST majority of people do not go out of their way to play literally every ambition #and that is so valid. it is so overwhelming. you have to juggle so much.#you have to play the earlygame So Many Goddamn Times.#(as i said. served my time. did my sentence. i am my scars. etc etc)#the best advice i can give as someone who's so completely desensitized to that repetition it doesnt even phase me anymore?#the same advice i can stress to all FL players. legitimately just take ur time with it. play when you want to.#dont when you dont.#sometimes you have to grit your teeth and bear things. and when it comes to alts you Will have to grit your teeth and bear it all again #but the beauty of this being a game that one plays for fun is that unlike. say. crushing deadlines or annoying coworkers in real life #you are completely within your power to decide when where and if you want to grit and bear it all #..wow this is ADVANCED yin rambling holy shit. i actually reached the tag limit. i think this ask should be put on some kind of list

just an fyi, and it feels like it needs to be said here: your blog is your own space and you should be able to say whatever the fuck you want. if you’re sad? vent. get sad. maybe put it under a cut, definitely tag it, but get sad. if you feel like you need someone to talk to? drop a freaking message about how you’re feeling like you could use a buddy, or anything randomly engaging. if you’re having a hard time, you should feel safe and okay to talk about it in your own space. we’re writers and we’re people and while there’s a lot to be said for how engagement outside of oneself is necessary in rp (and really really needs to improve), i think there’s a lot that must be said about people reaching out to others. it’s become so solitary here — the whole ‘reblog from source’ thing when it comes to shit like about and musings is absurd. the whole refusing to like things is ridiculous. yes, curate your space, that’s important, but curating your space into a studio apartment only you live in doesn’t make this a community anymore, it makes it a studio apartment you live in.

just be yourself here. do whatever you want. but i’m always saying: remember you’re not alone, and don’t let yourself feel that way.

#ooc. o kaptain.#[this is illogically worded and after an argument I’m already upset but I just felt like this has to be put here. it’s been sitting on my #brain for so long and it’s something i just wanted to discuss. the way the rpc has become not even an echo chamber just… a shitty ny #apartment only one person lives in that can fit your fridge and your bedroom in the same room. the way literal fandoms have divided each #other through nothing but massive senses of entitlement and so much gatekeepy fucking language. it’s exhausting to watch this happen #literally all because i have no idea where interaction went and yes I’ve been virtually inactive for months now but. it absolutely isn’t for #lack of trying to come back. it’s hugely due to a lack of interaction whenever I reach out and then the feeling like I’m being either #entertained or dismissed. this is a social space and we’re people and everybody just needs to recognize that. like. last week my introverted #broski started discussing how as he’s older he feels loneliness more tangibly but he hates people and i looked right at him and said …yeah #dude. that’s natural. we’re humans. we need each other to live. we need spaces we create and communities we make. but like. there need to be #interactive people in those spaces. we’re social creatures. i love you guys and this is a ramble but… it’s been on my mind awhile. and #frankly? feels kinda good to finally speak my mind.]

i could talk all day about mori's treatment of dazai and the way he abused his power over him but i'd rather talk about the ways in which he is still doing it, despite dazai having left the mafia. as we know, dazai left the mafia under oda's instruction, a promise he made to his dying friend in which he said he would become a good person, and be on the side that saves people. oda said, the sides make no difference to you, so he knows for a fact that dazai has no reason to do these things, when good and evil are mere concepts for him and not something he feels drawn to either way. a take i've seen often and one that i quite like is not only did mori have oda killed for the mafia's own personal gain (the deal struck so that they could operate under legal means), but it falls back on mori grooming dazai to one day take his seat. up until this point, dazai has never had anything worth protecting, has never lost anything, has never grieved anything and never experienced the emotional call to despair.

odasaku's death and thus dazai's push into the light, which ends up being with the ada, is the final piece that mori needed to solidify that dazai would one day be able to take his place. they talk about it, dazai says you were afraid of me, weren't you? and in more ways than one, the statement is true. mori had always known that he would and always wanted for dazai to surpass him, but the husk that dazai had become by never wanting anything, never protecting anything scared him if dazai was to dispose of him and assume his seat, because although dazai is a genius, he was callous and didn't value anything. he wouldn't value the mafia like mori does, he wouldn't protect yokohama like mori does. during the guild arc, mori says if dazai was still my right-hand man, the guild would stand no chance. dazai inside of the mafia and outside of it exists as a powerful adversary to whomever he stands against, and i think this is one of many reasons why the ada and the port mafia exist somewhat in tandem. the port mafia and the ada overstep their boundaries from time to time with each other, but the truth lies in mori knowing that dazai could ruin them if he intended to.

in something of a tldr mori aims to push dazai out of the mafia just as much as he intends to keep him within it. he needs dazai to experience loss, needs him to experience what it feels like to protect something, what it feels like to want to protect something. the fact that after dazai left, mori has not replaced his seat as an executive. has not replaced dazai as his right-hand with someone else, continuously offers him his position back means he fully intends to have him back under his wing again, someday. means he fully expects, once dazai has experienced what he needs him to, that he will take over his position, and he will drive dazai back to him. yosano and dazai serve as two prizes that mori currently does not have on his mantle, and in the deal struck with the president of the agency, those are the two he is most likely to pluck out of their ranks to put right back into his own.

#abuse /#like we don't need to talk about how yes - dazai explains he exposed HIMSELF to violence and death and gore in order to feel #but who was the first person to expose him to these things? who was the person that implicated him in a murder labelled a death by illness?#“you will be my witness” - that night mori signed dazai's name on a contract dazai had no clue he had even drawn #mori made a fifteen year old boy the head of the port mafia's guerrilla squad ...#dazai was a child that needed guidance and he got the WRONG kind .. and im actually tired of people calling mori and dazai father/son #in a serious sense ... or in a GOOD sense. in a lot of ways you can pin that kind of DYNAMIC and not RELATIONSHIP on them #in the way a father raises his children to one day take over his own legacy. in the way a father moulds his children in his own image #in the way a father takes away the things his child loves most to punish him. to teach him a lesson.#mori wanted dazai to experience loss and grief and wanted to push him out of the mafia so that he would come back stronger #there are so many instances in which mori could have had dazai killed after he left and joined the ada and he didnt #dazai is an OPPONENT ... he is IN THE WAY if he isn't with the port mafia and so it serves that mori has and #HAS ALWAYS HAD more planned for him than this.#also like haha WEEIIRRRDDD that mori is allowed to take one member of the ada and he sends chuuya to mersault to .. some would say #to collect dazai. take it as a favour owed. your boss said i could have you AND the port mafia just saved your life.#and if not you - WHO? (if people survive this post arc) like WHO ELSE? is fit for the mafia?#dazai is self sacrificing. and it serves the GOOD side of him to go back. so that someone else doesn't have to suffer it.#anyway ramble over sorry everyone :p
