Product Description
Product Description
During a character-defining run, Brian Michael Bendis crafted a pulp-fiction narrative that exploited the Man Without Fear's rich tapestry of characters and psychodrama, and resolved them in an incredibly nuanced, modern approach. Now, this Eisner Award-winning run is collected across three titanic trade paperbacks! In this volume, witness the Kingpin's downfall at the hands of Sammy Silke and see how a down-on-his-luck FBI agent can change Matt's life forever. Collects Daredevil #16-19 & #26-40.

THE GOOD: Beautiful opening with David Mack's art on Wake Up which works so much better in a collection than single issues. Then it's straight into the action, cutting out the forgetable DD issues 20-25 (may they rest in peace) and onto the acclaimed stuff. And here's where Bendis-haters can't possibly deny: the man has talent. Perfect pacing, an understanding of every facet of the story, characters with individual voices and dialogue so sharp it almost cuts your fingers as you turn each page. Alex Maleev's artwork rounds things off perfectly, giving the series the dark edge the best DD stories are remembered for and, yet again, the pacing and camera work match the script to perfection.
THE BAD: I like Terry Dodson's art, but it doesn't quite match the tone of the story. Saying that, I wouldn't mind seeing a Daredevil story with Dodson's art one day, but not here. It just feels a little odd to finish up the book with his slightly cartoony art, but it doesn't detract from the overall piece enough to knock it from its five star perch. This is comic book gold.
THE PULP HERO RETURNS: Top notch stuff. I need to not gush, so overall...? If you're a grown-up who still loves suerheroes, this is the kind of stuff that you can sound off about to justify your geeky little fetish.

I first got this collection because i was becoming interested in Brian Michael Bendis. I was not a previous DD fan, i had reads comics here and there but no solid runs or anything like that. At first i found Miller's the art kind of crude, and simple but it grew on me so much in just the first story in this collection. The whole book is just brilliant comic after brilliant comic, it has me wanting more (in fact i got the next 2 books which were amazin) and has made me a Daredevil fan
Format:Paperback
The stories have alot of depth and keeps you interested, at a glimpse of the art work i first asumed it was poor but when i looked at it properly the art work is incredible just very different to what i am used to seeing in a comic, impressive.
