WOW WHAT AN OMNIBUS!

This was just too good!

It starts with Matt rescuing some bride from the spot and then we have him going after a new villain Bruiser and then the coming of Megacrime and the Omegadrive, a thing that has information of all criminal organizations and that leads him to fighting Black spectre organization and its so cool the way its written and the crossover with spidey to rescue black cat and clear her name and the other also involving punisher to take down these evil organizations over this Omegadrive and how they end it was brilliant!

Then going against Pyromania and Bexane, a Latverian guy and what he does to him was brutal and how the Avengers saved him was lovely to see and I love the growing friendship between Hank Pym and Matt! Then going mad storyline starts where Foggy and Kirsten doubt him and a new deadly enemy Coyote comes in and its epic the way its written and its scary and dangerous and like one of the best stories ever!

And finally the big bad himself Ikari (Fury) comes in and he makes Matt's life hell putting everyone he cares about in the middle and then revealing who was behind it:
Spoiler Bullseye
and following on the aftermath of shadowland just wow and the way it ends!

Plus the thing the writer does with Foggy is heartbreaking and he really fleshes his character out and shows why he is one of the best supporting characters and like has such great friendship moments with Matt and what is going on with him, it really makes you care about him!

This volume was awesome and does a good job of balancing the tensions and also has fun and has heartful stories like the christmas vacation one and tests Matts love like Milla and Kirsten and friendship like with Foggy and the art is so good, like each page a marvel to look at and its one of those runs that makes you love Daredevil and his world even more! Its a must read for any comic, marvel, especially Daredevil fan!

Note - I read the Mark Waid run of Daredevil on Marvel Unlimited which comes in digital issue form. I added this omnibus as the one I'm reading simply because I don't really count each issue or volume of a comic book as a separate 'ready' item on Goodreads.

I had a great time reading this series and thought it had some great storylines.

This run on Daredevil does put him through the ringer like many other writers have but Mark Waid keeps it light and fast moving. All the artists on this volume do some really interesting things to make sure you’re definitely seeing things through Matt Murdock’s particular point of view given his power set. A fantastic Daredevil omnibus that’s nowhere near as dark as most writers runs on the book get. Definitely need to track down the second omnibus volume.

This is my first time reading a daredevil series. No extensive arcs, no over the top villians. Daredevil is the everyday superhero. The superhero that you would call, when you know IronMan or Thor is overkill. I think they toned down the darkness from Frank Miller's run (which I have not read) and made him more... erm... lovable? But he is really cool with his radar sense and acrobatic stuff (even schools spiderman on how to drop from a building). He could be Marvel's Batman. I loved it when a certain guy screams "There goes red Batman"!

Daredevil continues to be my favourite Superhero after reading this Daredevil Omnibus by Mark Waid. It's a different take on the character from recent decades, losing some of the darkness that was added during Frank Millar's brilliant run, and intensified during the work of Bendis. Over the years of reading DD comics, he has got darker, grittier and more disturbed, but Waid's run is mostly fun and light, with only an occasional nod towards the darker years. A fantastic addition to the Man Without Fear's arsenal of comics and well worth a read. I can't wait to get the next Omnibus of Waid's work as this o my contains the first half of his writing of the character.
