Really simple story, but impactful. Fantastic art all the way though. Very different from the usual comic book story about a superhero. It was a nice refreshing little story that was well done.

When someone asks "Why comics?" this will be the new story I will show. The variations of art and story telling are fantastic.

Wake up collects Daredevil #16-19.
In this collection, Leap Frog's son is in a near catatonic state and reporter Ben Urich wants to find out why. The painted art by David Mack is pretty spectacular. The story is well written and a paints a grim picture of life as the son of a small time super villain. My main problem with this is that it's two issues of story stretched into four, something that's disturbingly common since Bendis rose to popularity and spawned countless imitators. My other grip is that Daredevil is barely in it until the final issue.
How was this received when it was released? Apparently pretty well because most comics are paced like this these days. I still enjoyed it, though. 3 out of 5 stars.

With this third volume Bendis's run on Daredevil comes to an end. Some people tell me this is the definite daredevil run. Well I must say that there are some very nice moments in his run (even in this volume), but that the talking heads and the repetition factor are a bit to high for me to call this the ultimate Daredevil run.
I must also admit that I'm not a big fan of Maleev's artwork, so that is also a factor why I don't consider this the greatest daredevil run ever.
But don't get me wrong, Bendis and Maleev do some fine things here and it is certainly a quality comic that is worth your time.

I found this story, and the focus on Ben Urich instead of Matt Murdock and Daredevil really interesting.

David Mack switches from writing duties to art, as Bendis begins his deconstruction of Daredevil, starting with this volume that focuses on Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich trying to help a young boy who's gone into shock after some incident between his father (the masked criminal, Leapfrog) and Daredevil. Daredevil does eventually become part of the story, and we get a foreshadowing of how everything is about to go horribly wrong for him.
This is the second part of the best run of superhero noir in comic history.
