A review by unladylike
Daredevil, Volume 2 by Mark Waid
3.0
3.5 stars
The pacing and direction was improved in this volume. By the end of Vol. 1, Matt Murdock was wearing a red costume that says "I'm Not Daredevil!" to a holiday work party. In this volume, we see Spider-man flippantly out Murdock in front of the new assistant D.A., and from there, his attempt at keeping a secret identity is pretty much a lost cause.
My favourite fight in Vol. 1 was against a D-list villain named Bruiser, whose costume was awesomely hilarious (imagine pro athlete corporate branding: a luchador wrestler with ALL the logos of big evil villainy organisations). It showed new, interesting things about a baddy that no one really cares about, and helped DD get away from the constant tragedy storylines by facing off against some goofball. So it was a great progression of that to see him going up against Mole Man in this trade.
