I enjoy Daredevil’s character, I just don’t particularly enjoy the Marvel universe

2nd read. Mark Waid and his artistic partners on this extended run made me a Daredevil fan.

7 - Daredevil takes some kids on a field trip and the bus wrecks in a blizzard.
This was some serious shit. Daredevil and a busload of kids, most of them blind, wandering through a blizzard. Once again, Waid plays up what it's like to be blind, with or without radar sense. Good shit.
Amazing Spider-Man 677 - Fresh from being dumped, Spider-Man encounters the Black Cat. Shortly thereafter, she's arrested for breaking into Horizon Labs. Since he knows she was framed, Spidey enlists Daredevil to help him clear her name.
This issue demonstrates why Spider-Man and Daredevil have always worked well together and contrasts their crime-fighting styles. It also emphasizes that Daredevil is also a lawyer.
8 - Spidey and Daredevil are in trouble and it sure looks like Black Cat is behind it. Also, cemeteries are being found vandalized and one of the graves affected is that of Battlin' Jack Murdock.
That was pretty serpentine. The interplay between Spidey, Black Cat, and Daredevil was really enjoyable. I like where things are going with Daredevil and the Black Cat.
9 - The Mole Man is behind the graverobbing but why? That's what Daredevil means to find out!
Lots of good shit in this. Daredevil using a coffin as a raft. Mole Man dancing with a corpse. And the Black Cat has her paw in the cookie jar while Matt's underground. I love that Mark Waid is moving Daredevil away from the gritty crime corner of the Marvel Universe he's been trapped in for years.
10- Matt settles things with the Mole Man. Meanwhile, what's happened with the Omega Drive?
The battle with Mole Man was pretty great and the epilogue was also well done. I also liked how things went down with the Black Cat.
10.1 - Matt visits Pyromania in prison, a man Daredevil brought in. Turns out the word is out about the Omega Drive.
Pyromania telling Matt his version of his fight with Daredevil while seeing how it really went down was a nice touch. Things are progressing nicely. I'm guessing the Omega Drive will be the focus of the next volume.
Closing Thoughts: Mark Waid has done a lot to bring Daredevil out of the funk he's been in pretty much consistently since Frank Miller ran him through the meat grinder 30 years ago and into the Marvel Universe as a whole. The Omega Drive was a great maguffin and I'm hoping the Black Cat sticks around for a while. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Seguimos con la saga de Daredevil y ese misterioso objeto que tiene a todo el mundo loco por conseguirlo. Buen tomo que sigue muy bien la historia de un Daredevil que cada vez me gusta más.

#7 is probably one of the most inventive single issues I've read in a long time, and the succeeding stories have plenty to boast about as well.

Why do I feel like I've read a lot of stories about the Mole Man lately? Is it just bad luck or is he everywhere all of a sudden?
It happens from time to time. There was a period in the late 90's where I felt like I couldn't turn around without reading something about the Absorbing Man. The guy who can turn into any material and also feels the need to carry around a ball and chain.
And I know we're getting a little deep here, but the ball and chain? That was a real stupid idea. Your plan to hobble a prisoner is to attach him to a minimum of two weapons? What's next? "Oh, we make our prisoners carry a very heavy set of knives. Keeps 'em from running away." Good one, the law.
It's also strange that the Mole Man has those weird mole people who seem to worship him. I mean, I don't really know how this happened. And it's weird because, you know, he was a total knob on the surface, but then he gets down there and everyone thinks he's the cat's pajamas, the cat's meow, the feline AIDS (I made one of those up. See if you can guess which one!). It's sort of like...imagine if people in Belarus decided that Billy Ray Cyrus was the coolest dude ever. And that they thought Billy Ray Cyrus was the coolest guy ever in America. And then, some dude from Belarus comes to America and suddenly realizes that almost every other American is cooler than Billy Ray Cyrus.
That's what I imagine it would be like if a moloid came to the surface. That Mole Man wouldn't seem so rad all of a sudden. In fact, he might be one of the least rad people of all time. Green pants, green shirt, and a green cape? Please.

While I didn't like this volume quite as much as the previous one -- I wish that the wonderful Paolo Rivera had penciled all the issues, and the constant expository captions to re-establish who Daredevil is and what's currently happening in the story was a little distracting -- but it was still quite good, carried by Waid's new and compelling take on the classic character. I find myself a lot more interested in that side of it -- the character work, the relationships Daredevil has with those around him, and with himself -- than the ongoing story, which I feel is fairly standard comics fare. I did enjoy the interplay between Spider-Man and DD, and I enjoyed DD's brief tryst with Black Cat, and I'm still glad to see Daredevil as a book that's high on adventure rather than angst and darkness.
