  This is my first foray into DD comics after loving the show (most of it) on Netflix. Matt is a great character and Vol. 1 does him great justice. I loved it.

  This is a wonderful fresh take on a familiar character In 2011, the blind vigilante got a bold relaunch by industry legend Mark Waid paired with a talented stable of award-winning artists (including previous collaborator, Marcos Martin, the father-and-son team of Paolo and Joe Rivera, and future fan favorite, Chris Samnee). The three-year run deviated from some of the previous series themes and sought to take the character in a brighter direction. The resulting work produced the most critically acclaimed Marvel books in the modern era by receiving twenty-one (21) award nominations (a feat only rivaled by Fraction and Aja’s 2012-2015 Hawkeye run which adopted a similar feel and approach. Hugely Influential Unlike all the other br illiant runs (Miller, Smith, Bendis, Brubaker, and even Zadarsky), Waid’s Daredevil steps into the light and leaves an even more endearing take on Matt Murdock. Fans forget prior to Brian K. Vaughn’s Saga, Waid’s Daredevil was the industry darling that redefined the recipe for success. The art was so pure, clean, and consistent. 10/10 more

  I'm catching up on my list from 10 years ago. I read issue 1 a decade ago on the Marvel app and didn't read the rest. I remember loving it but I was not 100% back into comics. I'm glad I bought the whole Mark Waid Daredevil run on tpb and this first volume is tremendous! Waid loves the character and it shows. His style and storytelling still reads great a decade later and I'm sure nobody will dispute that it is a classic by now. Paulo Rivera and Marcos Martin are fantastic. Rivera is just absolutely mind boggling with the styles, architecture, physiques, and character details. Marcos Martin is no slouch and is the best complementary artists to Rivera's style. I also liked Javier Rodriguez's colors since this was his Marvel debut. I can see the influences of Rivera and Martin on his future art. I wish Zdarsky's Daredevil had more of Waid's influences in his run because there is almost no levity in his and it is getting to be too much brooding which just takes the joy out of reading his. Not a problem here since I can't wait to devour Waid & Co. other volumes. more
