5.0 out of 5 stars
genius, 6 Aug 2004
This review is from: Daredevil Volume 3: Wake Up TPB: Wake Up v. 3 (Paperback)
quite simply one of the best stories ever in the marvel universe. yes, you need a little more background into the characters before it makes sense, and its not the best book to read if you're into action and want a 'normal' comic. but it has so much more than that. Like any of David Macks work, its above all other comics. The storytelling is as much part of the artwork as anything else on the page. the words are part of the pictures, the pictures tell as much story as the words. This is a grown up graphic novel experience. This is as strong as any of Macks other work ( if you like this, you'll love David Macks 'Kabuki', a monster of an epic and in my opinion the greatest comic available) theres a strength to this story that is very subtle. i think everyone takes something away from them when they read this. i can honestly say its one of the stories that has changed my life., depending on how hard or easy your childhood was, you'll understand what i mean. some artists have the ability to amaze you with their talent, david mack is above all others in the comic book world. his world is filled with everything a story needs; emotion. these isnt an artist alive who knows the true meaning of 'visual story telling' better than david mack.

The Brilliance of Bendis, 7 Sep 2003
This review is from: Daredevil Volume 3: Wake Up TPB: Wake Up v. 3 (Paperback)
This is the 3rd volume in the Marvel Knights run, and is the first to be written by the acclaimed writer that is Brian M. Bendis, and is penciled by David Mack. The story is told from the viewpoint of Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich as he tries to discover what Daredevil has to do with a child named Timmy, who only seems to speak like he is telling the story of a superhero battle. Once you get past the artwork which would put many non-comic books fans right off this book at first sight, you begin to relise how well this book is written which then makes you start to feel for the child in this book and understand why he is the way he is. One problem though is that it is a very short trade paper back but it leaves you gasping for more Bendis countines the high standard of writing that we have come to expect of him from reading his other comics like Ulimate Spiderman and Alias and this is a must for DD and other comic book fans alike.

Cheaper elsewhere, 25 July 2010
This review is from: Daredevil Volume 3: Wake Up TPB: Wake Up v. 3 (Paperback)
This book seems to have gone out of print, and as such all the prices in the New and Used section of this site are ridiculously high for a four-issue TPB. As it happens, this book is also collected in the recently released Daredevil By Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev Ultimate Collection Book 1, alongside another 15 issues for less than the price any of the above are asking for. So if you really want to read it, get that. As for the story itself, I hated it, but then I hate David Mack as much as everyone else seems to admire him, so if you're a fan this oughtta be right up your alley.
