This made me miss Netflix’s Daredevil a thousand times more. I’ll never forgive them for cancelling the show.

Daredevil: “Oh, no! Six armed mercs wearing night vision goggles. Whatever will I do?”

Tonally, this is so different from Brubaker’s run that it’s giving me whiplash. But I trust Waid to navigate it, and I have to say, a happy-go-lucky swashbuckling DD is a refreshing change of pace and a great old-school callback to the Silver Age version of the character.

Fun story - lots of action, easy to follow, just the right amount of humor. The art is weirdly old-fashioned feeling for something that references iPhones, but it's not bad.

Frank Miller took Daredevil and made it into a very dark comic book. Just about every writer who followed him took on the same darkness and tried to up the ante. During the decades of tormenting Matt Murdock there were some great moments, some silly, and some awful ones. But it was all in the name of trying good story telling. So in comes Mark Waid attempting to add light and fun to the character for the first time since the 70s. Of course comic fans bristled, but what we have in this first volume is a fun view of the Man Without Fear as Waid and his artists attempt to uniquely display Daredevil's powers.
