Mark Waid and his artistic collaborators in Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin bring us a refreshing take on the Man Without Fear. Waid returns Daredevil to its swashbuckling roots which is light-years away from the Frank Miller inspired stories that came after Miller's seminal run. I like this new d...
Volume 1 was shocking, so very shocking, except for the part where I ended up reading Vol 2-5 before volume 1, so I knew what was coming.Really, what this series is all about is extended character studies with fight scenes and horror thrown in, and this volume focuses more on the fight scenes and...
After the vagueness and general evil of volume one, volume two takes a step back from the action and focuses instead on the "why." I'm torn, because this is both exactly what I asked for while reading the first one and still somehow not what I wanted. I don't find myself really all that concerned...
I don't read a lot of Hulk comics, because I don't find the Hulk a particularly compelling character. This was pretty good, though. It focused a lot on Bruce Banner and his coming to the realization that he can't get rid of the Hulk, only manage his condition, so he is trying to make up for the H...
Just a generally good book - good writing and good art. The interplay between Spider-man and Daredevil and Black Cat comes out spot on each time. The lead story with Daredevil leading a field trip gone wrong was a stand-out. The way Daredevil is tied into the larger story of his life is well done...
The very best run on Daredevil. Great artwork on each cover, good storyline. Lurv. Great refresh of a character that had gotten too depressing to read.
Gunna be needing about...oh...100 more like this, thanks. The art was refreshing and on-point, totally loved how his senses were portrayed in the illustrations. The writing was fun and clippy without being overrun by one-liners. Brought a lot of color to a character that has been grimdark for far...
This book further confirms that I don't really care about Daredevil. Waid is a talented writer, but he does nothing to make the character interesting beyond elaborating how Daredevil sees the world, and trying to figure how Matt Murdock can continue to practice law if everyone knows he's a costu...
Mark Waid states that he grew up a DC fan and it shows in his approach to the man without fear. A much nicer version of Batman mixed with the wit of Flash and bravado of Hal Jordan. In fact, his history of working on Flash definitely shows. Daredevil the boy scout has been broken but not complete...
Good so far. This series has alot of potential, hope it delivers... Brilliant.No one but Mark Waid could have written this. Can't wait for volume two.
I like superhero comics set in their own universe, because they have the freedom of not being tied to 60 years of continuity, and get to portray a more realistic and brutal style. Because, let's face it, if people were given superpowers, we'd get a lot more villains than heroes.I was a little di...
My cousins gifted me with Volumes 1 and 2 of this series for Christmas because they were on my Amazon Wish List. I'd meant to get around to this after reading IRREEDEMABLE, the series it spins off from, but Volume 1 was on the table in front of me when I sat down to eat lunch, so I jumped in. I ...
This book is pure fun. S.H.I.E.L.D. shoots the Hulk cannonball into the worlds of Thor (Jotunheim) and Daredevil (Hell's Kitchen). Simonson, the classic Thor artist, illustrates the first arc in an unabashedly cartoony style, with terrific action, comedy, and a sense of scope. Scalera is a fittin...
An engaging start drags out into a relatively simple mystery, boosted by two great characters at the center. Catherine Allingham is the genius detective, and James Doyle is her ex-bouncer bodyguard/voice of reason, both seeking answers to questions they aren't certain about to begin with. Waid, e...
