#7 is probably one of the most inventive single issues I've read in a long time, and the succeeding stories have plenty to boast about as well.

Why do I feel like I've read a lot of stories about the Mole Man lately? Is it just bad luck or is he everywhere all of a sudden?
It happens from time to time. There was a period in the late 90's where I felt like I couldn't turn around without reading something about the Absorbing Man. The guy who can turn into any material and also feels the need to carry around a ball and chain.
And I know we're getting a little deep here, but the ball and chain? That was a real stupid idea. Your plan to hobble a prisoner is to attach him to a minimum of two weapons? What's next? "Oh, we make our prisoners carry a very heavy set of knives. Keeps 'em from running away." Good one, the law.
It's also strange that the Mole Man has those weird mole people who seem to worship him. I mean, I don't really know how this happened. And it's weird because, you know, he was a total knob on the surface, but then he gets down there and everyone thinks he's the cat's pajamas, the cat's meow, the feline AIDS (I made one of those up. See if you can guess which one!). It's sort of like...imagine if people in Belarus decided that Billy Ray Cyrus was the coolest dude ever. And that they thought Billy Ray Cyrus was the coolest guy ever in America. And then, some dude from Belarus comes to America and suddenly realizes that almost every other American is cooler than Billy Ray Cyrus.
That's what I imagine it would be like if a moloid came to the surface. That Mole Man wouldn't seem so rad all of a sudden. In fact, he might be one of the least rad people of all time. Green pants, green shirt, and a green cape? Please.

While I didn't like this volume quite as much as the previous one -- I wish that the wonderful Paolo Rivera had penciled all the issues, and the constant expository captions to re-establish who Daredevil is and what's currently happening in the story was a little distracting -- but it was still quite good, carried by Waid's new and compelling take on the classic character. I find myself a lot more interested in that side of it -- the character work, the relationships Daredevil has with those around him, and with himself -- than the ongoing story, which I feel is fairly standard comics fare. I did enjoy the interplay between Spider-Man and DD, and I enjoyed DD's brief tryst with Black Cat, and I'm still glad to see Daredevil as a book that's high on adventure rather than angst and darkness.

The entire omega drive plot feels a little silly to me; if it would really be so disastrous if the information contained within got out, if it would truly topple governments over the course of only days, then why is Daredevil able to release SPECTRE's files? Are we to believe that he and Reed Richards sorted through it all, and picked out only what was damning to SPECTRE? If they had that power, why is Daredevil even bothering to negotiate with the megacrime syndicates? Why not just release all their information, and let them be busted just like SPECTRE was? What could be an interesting riff on WikiLeaks ends up feeling more like a lame MacGuffin.rltinha's review
Não sei do que gostei mais, se das botas vermelhas no cemitério ou da camisola na festa de Natal.

another great volume in Mark Waid's great daredevil run. the only bad thing in this trade was the appearance of Spiderman, whom I have absolutly no love for. But other then that, great story, good dialogue and entertaining comics. a reccomandation.

I really liked this volume. I always love seeing Spidey, and team-ups in general. The part that stuck out most is when they showed what he saw vs what was there, with all these horrible demon monsters just watching him as he sailed along the river. That was a dope sequence. The man without feeeaaarrr!
I also liked Matt slutting it up with Black Cat. The story about the blind kids in the snow storm was pretty cool too.

You can thank the show, but my recent re-interest in Daredevil led me to Mark Waid's excellent series. The story is compelling, and the artwork is an interesting blend of vintage and modern, almost a throwback to the classic Daredevil series. If you're not a fan, this might be a good place to start. If you are a fan, then you've probably already read it.

The Omega Drive story gets serious, drawing Spider-Man and Black Cat into the madness. One of Spidey's exes, and one of The Fantastic Four's rogues show up in this volume and it feels perfectly natural. Yes, this is headed towards a mini-crossover event, but it doesn't feel like places are being deliberately put in to get us to a milestone event. It just feels like a Daredevil story that's big enough to envelop more of the Marvel Universe. So, you know, better than Shadowland.
If you enjoy this, I recommend picking up [b:The Punisher, Vol. 1|13528708|The Punisher, Vol. 1|Greg Rucka|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348673113l/13528708._SY75_.jpg|87070388], as it also feeds into a story which will appear in Daredevil By Waid Vol 3, Punisher By Rucka Vol 2, and Avenging Spider-Man Vol 2.
