daileyxplanet's review against another edition

Frank Miller at his absolute best. Required reading for ANYONE who considers themselves to be a comic book fan.

Good for Dare Devil origins, especially relating to Elektra. There were definitely some slow parts.

This hasn't really aged well, especially the early issues, but I've rounded up the rating because classic. The growth of Miller's talent over this run is incredible-by the last few issues he is very close to the quality of Dark Knight. And this run really does form the basis for modern Daredevil: the noir style, Kingpin as his primary adversary, Bullseye, and of course Elektra. Plus Ninjas.

I really like how Miller treats the character of Daredevil once he takes over from McKenzie. Right away, you get a level of honesty and realism that was completely absent before. More than his treatment of Daredevil, I think these comics are brilliant because of what Miller did with the side characters. He creates more depth for Daredevil through the ways the superhero must interact with a series of very well drawn (pun intended) villains and friends. Bullseye isn't as cheesy as he was in the McKenzie run (and Miller is able to push him to even more compelling ground in volume 3) and if you thought Bain was impressive in the third Nolan Batman film, wait until you read Miller's Kingpin. Same eloquence, same chilling pragmatism. This is the underbelly of capitalism and it's horrific effect on the everyman... or you know, a worthy adversary and stuff. The only problem with reading these comics is an increasing dissatisfaction with the crappy Ben Affleck movie, which, of course, builds to outrage after you encounter Elektra. Yeah, definitely not Jennifer Garner. One can always hope for a reboot.

I got this because I remember reading Daredevil and really enjoying it as a young teen. But reading it now I just don't get the same thrill which is sad. While I've picked up comics again I doubt I'll ever go back to the Marvel or DC superhero stuff.

I gave it the old college try, but I just can't get in to Daredevil. I don't find the characters particularly intersting and stories seem melodramatic. I wasn't interested in the Kingpin's quest for love or the Daredevil/Elektra connection. Not for me.
