En este número culmina la saga del Efecto Omega, y por más que me encanta el trabajo de Waid, esto es demasiado confuso (aunque no al nivel de algo como Civil War). Daredevil hace planes demasiado complicados para deshacerse de Disco Omega sin dar demasiadas explicaciones sobre porque no puede simplemente dárselo a Shield. Todo esto vale la pena solo para ver a Daredevil en acción, la forma en la que Waid lo escribe sigue siendo interesante, pero nuevamente eso no quita que hay que pasar por alto muchas cosas para disfrutar la historia.
Como todo lo de Waid, es una lectura recomendada, más allá de que esta lejos de ser su mejor trabajo-

In this issue, the Omega Effect saga ends, and even though I love Waid's work, this is too confusing(althuogh "civil war" confusing). Daredevil makes lots of complicated plans to get rid of the Omega Drive, without explaning why he can't just hand it over to SHIELD. However, all of this is worth just to see Daredevil in action, Waid writing is spot on, even though again you have to look past a lot of weird things to enjot the story.
Like everything written by Waid, is a pretty recommendable read, but far from being Waid's best work.

Shut up about the Omega Drive I do not care about the Omega Drive plotline that we are still dealing with from the last issue.

I did really like Spider-man and the Punisher teaming up with Daredevil though because that feels like a trio that just wouldn't work but then it dis. There was also an issue that had a flashback story that happened when Matt and Foggy were in college and that was weirdly the highlight of this entire volume.

After we finally get done with the Omega Drive shit, then Matt gets kidnapped to fucking Latveria by Dr Doom and his people who want to *checks notes* copy his radar sense that they somehow know about. I unreasonably hated all of this because it felt so out of place and random. Most of it was just Daredevil flailing around confused because his senses are going bye.

The art changes a couple times as per usual but one of them was so distracting in how rough it looked.

I'm not really mad at this volume- I'm just disappointed.

Rather than talking about how this run of Daredevil keeps getting better, I'm just going to point out something about how Marvel insists on re-explaining his powers and origin story in every issue.

When you open each of these collected trades, there's an opening page by an old creative team that nicely gets the origin/intro out of the way. But when they get to the panel to show how he "sees" things, the caption reads, "And he had developed a sixth sense, a radar-like awareness of where objects were." And there's a black silhouette of a figure with radar-like concentric circles honing RIGHT IN ON THE FIGURE'S JUNK! Every time I see it I can't help but chuckle. And since Daredevil is such a slut, it actually makes sense in a way I don't think the illustrator intended it to. In my headcanon, when Matt smirks at someone, there's much more to his thoughts than the captions. He also might be thinking something like, "I like what you're packing, big boy, and I can tell you're getting a little aroused. But you forgot to wash behind your sack this morning, and went a little too far with that Old Spice."

That concludes my thorough review of Daredevil Vol. 3: Still No Subtitle, by Mark Waid.

A clear and evangelical example of the potential storytelling heights of which comic books are capable.

Avenging Spider-Man #6 - Everyone wants the Omega Drive! Daredevil, Spider-Man, The Punisher, and his partner take on a shit load of ninjas!

Things are kicking into high gear with the Omega Drive. Spidey, Daredevil, and the Punisher work fairly well together. I'm not sure Frank's going to keep his promise about no fatalities, though...

Punisher #10 - Things heat up as Frank, Cole, Spidey, and Daredevil take on AIM, HYDRA, and all the rest.

There was lots of carnage but the Punisher acted true to character in the end. This storyline might be going on a little long. I'll be glad to get back to solo Daredevil.

11 - Cole has the Omega Drive! Can Daredevil get it back and destroy it before hell comes crashing down on him?

DD manages to not die and leaves with the Omega Drive! I guess it's still in play.

12 - Matt finally goes on a date with Kirsten McDuffieand explains his past with Foggy until things catch up with him.

Things heat up with the Omega Drive again but Foggy and Matt at law school was one of the best character moments of the series.

13 - The four megacrime groups are in Time Square and Daredevil has the Omega Drive around his neck!

This didn't go like I thought it would but at least the Omega Drive is out of play for a while. I'm liking the relationship between Spider-Man and Daredevil the way Waid writes it.

14 - Daredevil finds himself teleported to Latveria!

Wow, and I thought being blind would be bad but losing your remaining senses one by one would be so much worse. Those Latverians are pretty miffed about the whole Omega Drive thing.

15 -Doctor Doom has Daredevil in his clutches. How will old Hornhead escape?

Shit, those were two brutal issues. How the hell are they going to get nanobots out of DD? Ant-Man? If I wasn't already bound to read the next volume, I'd have to now.

Closing Thoughts: This was not my favorite volume in the series so far but it was still pretty good. I'm glad the Omega Drive storyline was resolved and I'm digging Daredevil interacting with the rest of the Marvel Universe. Mark Waid's Daredevil is one entertaining read. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
