Good stuff, fun read. This is a great place to jump in if you're looking for a superhero comic without too much history.
Okay, yes, there is some history that Daredevil's secret identity went out the window and that he was possessed by a demon for a while, but you don't have to know anything about those events to read this stuff. That's what I like about it. They figured a way to not completely trash the past while at the same time making it unnecessary to be familiar with every nuance.
To be honest, though, I'm really looking forward to volume 4 when Mike Allred jumps in.

It was good not great, entertaining not compelling. It was lighter in tone than other Daredevil stories. I think that is a fine line to manage and Mark Waid just missed. I did enjoy it enough to want to read more of his Daredevil run.

I really appreciate how the artist drew panels in such a way as to highlight how Matt senses his surroundings. Very good!

Fantastic new approach to a classic character, wonderfully brought to life by the masterful Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin. Highly stylized but somehow still understated, the art perfectly matches Waid's take on the character, which feels both refreshing and familiar, harking back to a time when comics weren't as dark and brooding. (Nothing against Frank Miller, of course, whose take on the character is still *the* quintessential Daredevil.) Waid takes Daredevil's turbulent history and uses it to propel him forward out of darkness. (No pun intended, I guess.)

Here Comes Daredevil by Mark Waid is really quickly gaining rank in my list of top comics.
