Daredevil Vol. III

review 1: 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 - un... morefortunately also his encounter with the Mole Man. All pretty good though.
review 2: After reading the second Daredevil book by Mark Waid, I felt compelled to read the first one because I loved the second one that much. This one is a bit disappointing in comparison, however; while still quite far from unbearable, the pacing is, at times, slower, and the stories are not quite as interesting and fun. The artwork (credited to various artists such as Paolo Rivera, his father Joe Rivera, Javier Rodriguez, Marcos Martin, and Muntsa Vincente) is very pleasing to the eye, however, as is the case with the second book. It is filled with bright colors and makes turning pages a rather easy task. The primary plot of the book involves blind attorney Matt Murdock (also known, although not by all, as Daredevil) trying to help a man, Mr. Jobrani, who was racially profiled by police due to his Middle Eastern heritage and consequently brutalized. This takes Matt through an array of experiences which ultimately lead to the main plot of the second book. What I can definitely say about this book is that even though, in comparison to the second book, it is slower and not quite as fun, Waid does nothing to hide his talent as a writer, as it is very well-written. I also really love the combination of what he and the artists have done to give us a glimpse of what the world looks like and sounds like to Matt; it is very innovative. I appreciate the nods and references to other Marvel characters, such as Dr. Doom and Reed Richards, and I also appreciate the character Austin, whom I find to be very compelling. At the end of the book, after the conclusion of the book's plot (to be continued, of course, in the second book), there is a transcript of an interview with Mark Waid and also one with Paolo Rivera, both very interesting; it is fun to read about the process of how a comic book gets made, the process which it undergoes before publication. While, again, not as satisfying as its successor, this is still a fun book with enticing artwork and writing, and I do look forward to reading more of Mark Waid's Daredevil stories in the future. less

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.
