Mark Waid states that he grew up a DC fan and it shows in his approach to the man without fear. A much nicer version of Batman mixed with the wit of Flash and bravado of Hal Jordan. In fact, his history of working on Flash definitely shows. Daredevil the boy scout has been broken but not completely. He's still fighting for the little guy and getting deeper into trouble with Hydra, AIM and possibly Doom. Not too much action in this comic but like DC, the quest for this hero is in finding his own sense of self and honor.

Interesting story

I’ve been trying to expand my knowledge of Marvel heroes as movies about their heroes keep coming once every two seconds. This volume of Daredevil really kept me on my toes. Very thrilling and great plot pacing (which seems to be lacking in a lot of comics these days).

Not the biggest fan of DareDevil, smug bastard... but the art and crime story in this opening run is compelling enough to continue on with Vol. 2.

I absolutely loved this book, a great place to start reading Daredevil comics.

FUN title. Marcos Martin and Paolo Rivera give this book such a throwback feel, and Daredevil's radar sense is almost reinvented in the innovative artwork. Mark Waid's scripts are enough to take the Daredevil character out of the dark and gritty world he'd been stuck in for the last fifteen years. I can't say enough good things about this book.
-UPDATE-
Just read this book again. God, I wish I could give 6 Stars.

Lurv. Great refresh of a character that had gotten too depressing to read.

I had this recommended to me by the good people o' the internet as a good starting point for someone who hadn't read any Daredevil but loved the TV series on Netflix. I was not steered in the wrong direction.

Heavy on the Murdockiness (is that a word) and nice clean art made this a very pleasing graphic novel. Especially loved when DD teamed up with Spidey. I can't wait to finish the series.
