The Sons of the Serpent hired him to run a sneaky media manipulation campaign against DD. The story has Jester monologuing about the "power of the narrative" and other whackadoodle twists that someone who fancies himself to be a Great Actor might spew.<br /><br />He doesn't get any sort of big confrontation with DD. Our Hero puts the Sons of the Serpent into a corner and demands they hand over the Jester gift wrapped. They do.<br /><br />The googles tell us Jester #2, named "Jody Putt", was the victim of the Punisher.Murrayhttp://www.murraylindsay.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-75233667640000917162014-06-14T19:37:07.151-04:002014-06-14T19:37:07.151-04:00The only reason I can fathom that Jester is gettin...The only reason I can fathom that Jester is getting no respect is because he's a copy of a copy of a copy. Joker, Prankster, Toyman and such all came first, so certainly he gets a "Yawn" rating on the Originality Meter. If you manage to put that aside, however, then what's to scoff? Batman and Superman have been flummoxed and bedevilled by cream pies, marbles and yo-yos. Why not Daredevil?<br /><br />Wow, though. Gene Colan obviously was not the artist of choice for this particular story. That has to be the feeblest attempt at a jester's motley costume ever. Bleh!Murrayhttp://www.murraylindsay.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-88853941637935463252014-06-14T19:32:11.335-04:002014-06-14T19:32:11.335-04:00The Punisher kinda did everyone a favor when he fi...The Punisher kinda did everyone a favor when he finally got around to clipping this guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
