Daredevil by Mark Waid - Volume 1

Product Information

THE FLIP SIDE OF MODERN SUPER HERO CLASSIC COLLECTED IN ONE VOLUME Super villain Max Damage had an epiphany the day his nemesis, The Plutonian destroyed Sky City.

Having turned his world upside down during the past several years, Matt Murdock realizes justice may not be blind to his past and villains may not be the only ones looking for answers. When the Punisher's new apprentice is cornered by Hornhead, she gives a small rant about how the only people who are actually serious about being heroes are those who've suffered tragedy. Now that there seems to be some interest in rolling back the dark black curtains and letting a little sunshine into comic stories again, it’s nice to see Matt Murdock smile. The reviews and comments posted on this site reflect the opinions of individual posters and do not reflect the views of Cannonball Read. So how did Waid deal with the fallout from the misguided Shadowland miniseries and the looming presence of recent Bendis and Brubaker runs?It's what forces Foggy and Matt to adjust their business model to now serve as legal/self-representation consultants. Mark Waid takes Daredevil to new territories, pairing him up against unusual adversaries like Spot, mega-criminal organizations AIM and Hydra, and two particular Marvel villains that I won't mention to avoid spoilers.

Matt is cheerful and there is a lot at stake here and the villains are fun too plus the art is so static and makes it all the more pleasant to read and then there is the mystery of the overdrive and a good cameo by Cap! So there’s a lot of “No I’m not Daredevil” dialogue from Matt throughout the book that I felt could’ve just been ignored. It wasn’t a bad plot, but it didn’t feel particularly new and fresh and startling; it definitely felt like just a primer on Daredevil and what he can do.This felt like a more retro approach, but given what I have read, I will definitely be following up with Volume 2, as I like the potential, and this was enjoyable on the whole.
