Daredevil, Vol. 3: Wake Up by Brian Michael Bendis
3.0
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.
