I like what Waid is setting up with this volume.The art is perfectly matched to the hornhead and his powers.Plus who doesn't love a good team-up? Short though it may have been.

This was pretty good.Taking place after Matt had stolen the omega drive, it contains stories where Matt teams with some children and rescues them after their bus driver crashes and bails on them and then the team up with Spider-man to clear his name or handle the insanity by going against the Mole man who had taken his father's corpse or even trying to prevent his public identity being leaked? Cool volume and takes some risks and like swings for the fences, in the every day life of Matt and ther...

Great story with the blind kids, but an odd diversion from the main super-plot about megacrime, a SuperDrive (better than the Apple product, if you can imagine that) and Murdock keeping three steps ahead of deadly conspiracy (or something equally bombastic - where's Wacker when you need him?)The crossover with Waid's first parter in Amazing Spider-Man falls a little flat, and I think it's because of the not-quite-there art by a persona known as "Kano". (Seriously? Who is this joker, giving thems...

More fun lawyer by day, superhero by night, volunteer on the weekends daredevil! This volume has the same high energy fun as the first and has been quite the treat. The individual stories all touch on what makes daredevil daredevil. He will never stop grieving his father. He's a playboy and has a big blind spot (ahem) to when women are manipulating his weakness for them. And more than anything he wants to help his community from every angle he possibly can. This run is getting me excited about d...

Well, Daredevil, we had some good times together, but it seems that our time is over, now that they´re trying to make you upbeat, your comic is going downhill, it´s a shame my friend. I recognize that Brubaker did some really bad stories with you, then Andy Diggle really messed things up badly with all the Shadowland crap, and in the last collection it seemed like a slow but interesting new approach by Mark Waid, but this collected edition doesn't get better. It´s amazing how many stories Waid w...

Volume two continues Mark Waid's run on Daredevil. I really loved the first volume in this series, and found this one to me worth my time as well, even if I did take some issues with the art.The story here mainly springs from a crossover involving Spider-man and the Black Cat, while continuing on the Omegadrive storyline. There's also a secondary arc where Matt finds his father's casket stolen, which brings him on an underground journey where he faces off against Mole-Man. Both stories are reall...

This book is just so much fun to read. We're starting to get a little more into Matt Murdock's psyche, with some of the old demons rearing their heads, but not enough to drag down the incredible joy Waid takes in writing this character. It's a vast departure for the Daredevil of the past 10 years or so, but I am now fully in love with this book. Fantastic art, quick-paced stories. This comic knows what's great about the medium and doesn't let it get overcomplicated.

Mark Waid continues his inspired reinvention of the Daredevil character from the moody, troubled man he was after Frank Miller was done with him in the 70s/80s and a string of other writers continued, to taking the character back to his cheerful, happy-go-lucky roots who smiles and has a good time. I have no desire to read yet another angst-y vigilante with "problems" book so it's great to see a superhero enjoying being a superhero for a change especially one who's been written as a depressed, s...

Buddy Read with The Incredible Hulk!I've never found a Daredevil book that's excited me. Maybe I've never read the right title, by the right author, but nothing's ever made me go, Yeah! Daredevil! That guy is awesome! This one was kinda close, though.Instead of being on the moody Catholic guilt trip, Murdock seems a bit lighter and more optimistic.It starts with a quasi-touching little story about Matt taking some orphaned kids on an ill-fated journey to some camp.Maybe it's not a camp. It wa...

This picks up a bit from Volume 1, starting with a single issue story about Matt out on a field trip with some blind kids. That issue is one of the better ones of any character I've read in a while. It manages to cut right to the core of things without being lame and preachy, which many kiddie-involved books do.There's another story involving the Mole-Man, and the disappearance of the casket of Jack Murdock and others, which shows a literal descent into hell, much like I believe the last 10yrs o...

This is the kind of stuff that makes comic fans a bunch of disgruntled malcontents who can never be happy. I’ve ranted before about how Marvel has made a hash out of it's volumes and numbering systems making it increasingly difficult for someone working through the trade collections to read stuff in order. I knew that Mark Waid had done a new phase of Daredevil, and it’s something I was curious about so when I ran across this collection labeled Volume 1 at the library, I grabbed it and gave it a...

Still enjoying this series. I know that this is a shift in tone for Daredevil, from ultra-angst to something on the lighter side. I really like it. It makes Matt feel relatable, at least to a certain extent. If he were nothing but a ball of misery all the time, it wouldn't have much of an impact when his father's coffin vanishes underground. At any rate, I really like this version of Daredevil.

I decided to re-read volume one before I sank my teeth into this volume, and the brilliance of this series is really hitting home. While we have a few well crafted one-offs in this collection, the real gold is the continuing story line surrounding the Omega Drive and a crossover with everyone's favorite web-head. If I have any criticism, it's that the art is a ll over the place in this volume. Thankfully, Rivera contributes his usual three issues, but we have Rios delivering the Spider-man issue...

This was pretty good but I wasn't in love with the story. In the first issue we have Matt going on a camping trip with a bunch of orphans then the next few deal with Spider-man coming to Daredevil for help with Black Cat. Then Matt has to deal with some mole man but who steals his father's body.The Spider-man ones were okay and I liked Black Cat but the way she was drawn was just annoying. I like the art otherwise. It's very light and colorful and imma need the "I'm not Daredevil" sweater right

7 - Daredevil takes some kids on a field trip and the bus wrecks in a blizzard.This was some serious shit. Daredevil and a busload of kids, most of them blind, wandering through a blizzard. Once again, Waid plays up what it's like to be blind, with or without radar sense. Good shit.Amazing Spider-Man 677 - Fresh from being dumped, Spider-Man encounters the Black Cat. Shortly thereafter, she's arrested for breaking into Horizon Labs. Since he knows she was framed, Spidey enlists Daredevil to help...

Good, solid stories here. The Black Cat is an interesting addition to the book. Definitely a Batman/Catwoman vibe going on here. The story about the Omegadrive is going on a bit long, though, and the Mole Man story near the end was just creepy, and not in a good way. Nice to see Matt Murdock on the sunny side of things, though. His personality shines through every page he's present. Good work from Waid on that one.

Maintaining a secret identity is difficult when everyone knows who you truly are. Despite insisting that he isn't Daredevil, Matt Murdock is proving to be unsuccessful in changing the public's belief that he is indeed The Man Without Fear. Letting the criticism and frustration roll off his back, Murdock continues to adopt this more positive outlook that was brought to the reader in Volume One.After the events of Volume One, Matt has secured a hard drive that contains crucial information on five

55% | C+ | Good"And this is why I don't team up with Spidey often. He never shuts up"A school trip gone wrong, a villain framed for a crime they didn't commit with a side of Spidey, a grave robber and more are all packed into this enjoyable second volumeWith this one, I feel like the stories, none of which are bad, slowly get less and less memorable as you progress through the volume. The first with the children saving Matt is really sweet, the second is a nice Spider-Man crossover, the third is...

Buddy read with the lovely and awesome Anne. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1...Daredevil is the last superhero you would want watching your kids. His being blind is the least of your worries. Take the first issue of this collection as a warning. He’s riding in a bus as his alter ego, attorney-at-law and babe magnet, Matt Murdock, accompanied by some underprivileged kids. It’s cold and snowing heavily. The bus crashes and the bus driver is killed. He in short order: hollers at the kids, cha...

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 aro...
