Good solid book. A little irritating in that the last third of the book I'd read in a different graphic novel - a perennial problem with the graphic novel is that stories are reprinted in multiple places.So the world knows that Matt Murdock in Daredevil and he's trying to convince the world that he's not. It probably will get old but for now it is still kind of amusing. And wow, I didn't realize how much Daredevil gets beat to a pulp over and over again.But a lot of this is Matt Murdock but with insight into how he sees the world. And Matt coaching clients into being their own lawyer - since people thinking he's Daredevil is getting in the way.The repeat stories include Matt's trip with kids when they caught in the snow - and the team ups with Black Cat and Spider-man - unfortunately also his encounter with the Mole Man. All pretty good though.
I'm genuinely surprised at how much I love this series, especially given that Mark Waid is far from my favorite author. But what he and all the artists that work on this series bring to the table is absolutely phenominal. This I carnation of Ol' Hornhead is one of the most fun I've read in a long time and shows there's still life left in the traditional super-hero genre. Also I cannot believe I haven't reviewed these before as I have been reading the series in individual issue format since the start of this run
The very best run on Daredevil. Great artwork on each cover, good storyline.
