Daredevil by Mark Waid - Volume 1

Product Information

Along the way Daredevil will battle Klaw, save school children from an unexpected blizzard, have a fling with the Black Cat, and take on the case of a blind worker who was fired from his job.

It’d be good to see, not Kingpin, but at least a villain that can be built up over the series for Daredevil to fight, rather than these goofy guys. The revealing of Matt Murdock and Daredevil being one and the same, which was the most popular consequence of the Bendis and Brubaker runs was given an interesting treatment by Waid. But the book also introduced Kirsten McDuffie, a new ADA who teases Matt about being Daredevil, and really fun moments like Matt entering a Christmas party with a sweater proclaiming "I Am Not Daredevil.Instead, it features a nice matte full printing (which unfortunately is a bit pixelated due to the enlargement of the image, but nothing really serious, just a detail). Absolutely amazing art which is a good change from the dark and shady colours and grim storylines of before. Significant Wardrobe Shift: During the San Francisco run, without his secret identity, Matt decides to discard his regular costume for a completely red three-piece suit, but he goes back to the classic costume in the end. The overall story is very coherent and does a lot with the existing relationships and building new ones.

And then there is the part where he is coaching people in their own cases as he can't practise law because identity exposure and then you have him come across a guy named Austin and that one is connected to Midas corporation and the five criminal enterprise and how Matt saves him and uncovers a big conspiracy, this volume was so much fun and gets everything right!I also liked the interaction with Captain America, though it was laid out very oddly, with an interlude between his arrival and his reappearance, that made little to no sense at the time. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. There are also hints that DD’s methods remain shady for a superhero such as when he comes into evidence on the megacrime groups like Hydra and AIM, and instead of turning it over to the Avengers, he hangs onto and plays the factions off each other. He is best known for his work on various DC Comics titles, most notably the Superman-related titles and THE POWER OF SHAZAM!

With new enemies, new friends and that same old ‘grinnin’ in the face of hell’ attitude, the Man Without Fear is back and leading with his face! His thin line and enticing layouts match Rivera and he somehow evokes a nostalgia without ever being less than modern. Disbarred from practicing law in New York, Matt decides that he'll go to the one city where he previously practiced law: San Francisco.

Matt also gets in serious trouble when he encounters Ikari, an assassin who has the same powerset as him sans blindness. So while the defendants are in court, Matt and Foggy are sat in an office waiting for the phone to ring with the verdict. I knew that Mark Waid had done a new phase of Daredevil, and it’s something I was curious about so when I ran across this collection labeled Volume 1 at the library, I grabbed it and gave it a read.
