Note - I read the Mark Waid run of Daredevil on Marvel Unlimited which comes in digital issue form. I added this omnibus as the one I'm reading simply because I don't really count each issue or volume of a comic book as a separate 'ready' item on Goodreads.
I had a great time reading this series and thought it had some great storylines.

This run on Daredevil does put him through the ringer like many other writers have but Mark Waid keeps it light and fast moving. All the artists on this volume do some really interesting things to make sure you’re definitely seeing things through Matt Murdock’s particular point of view given his power set. A fantastic Daredevil omnibus that’s nowhere near as dark as most writers runs on the book get. Definitely need to track down the second omnibus volume.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Body horror, Violence, and Ableism
Minor: Chronic illness, Gun violence, Gore, and Kidnapping
It’s kind of like a Daredevil book for people that like lighter Spider-Man stories and his quips mixed with interpersonal dramas.tomkariath's review

This is my first time reading a daredevil series. No extensive arcs, no over the top villians. Daredevil is the everyday superhero. The superhero that you would call, when you know IronMan or Thor is overkill. I think they toned down the darkness from Frank Miller's run (which I have not read) and made him more... erm... lovable? But he is really cool with his radar sense and acrobatic stuff (even schools spiderman on how to drop from a building). He could be Marvel's Batman. I loved it when a certain guy screams "There goes red Batman"!

Daredevil continues to be my favourite Superhero after reading this Daredevil Omnibus by Mark Waid. It's a different take on the character from recent decades, losing some of the darkness that was added during Frank Millar's brilliant run, and intensified during the work of Bendis. Over the years of reading DD comics, he has got darker, grittier and more disturbed, but Waid's run is mostly fun and light, with only an occasional nod towards the darker years. A fantastic addition to the Man Without Fear's arsenal of comics and well worth a read. I can't wait to get the next Omnibus of Waid's work as this o my contains the first half of his writing of the character.
