Following on the end of Bendis's run - with Murdock in jail and his identity basically exposed - was going to be a tall order, but Brubaker fills it magnificently. It's a bit slow to get going, but when it does, it's great. This is the rare example of a story that's packed with supervillains - something I usually hate - that feels like it actually works. Looking forward to the next volume. ( )

Ed Brubaker is one of my favorites and the Daredevil stories here reinforce my opinion. I liked the story but I can only give this 3 stars because it doesn't go further than surface plot. ( )

Okay, that? Was amazing! ( )

This book is BRILLIANT. Can't say enough good things about it. I'd read Ed Brubakers superb Captain America: Winter Soldier books and so decided to get this title when I saw it fairly cheap on ebay.
It's truly gripping and hard-hitting stuff and I just love the realism of the super heroes (and villains) in it. There's a realism to their stripped down portrayal by artist Michael Lark, to their dialogue and to their relationships with other super types. DD himself, Kingpin, The Punisher, Bullseye, The Owl, Hammerhead - all actually come across as real people and not as cartoon characters. And just wait until you find out who's been masquerading as Daredevil whilst Murdock's locked up in Ryker's Island!
Volume 2 is already on my Amazon Wish List!! :-) ( )
