A good overview of Daredevil, specifically, an introduction to three (or four!) of the main characters: Matt Murdock, Foggy Nelson, and Karen (who does not appear to get a last name in this collection), as well as Daredevil. Karen, a newcomer to New York, is the subject of fascination between both men, with Foggy deciding to propose and Matt urging him on while secretly (or not so secretly) in love with her himself and very nearly outing himself when he rescues Karen from a super villain, Owlsey...

This book seems to not know what audience is aiming for. Too generic and unentusiasthic retelling of a story for readers that know daredevil, and too thin for new readers to understand the core of the Man Without Fear.

Story 1 was super corny but kinda fun. Awfully drawnz Second was interesting but ended quickly. Third is the same. I enjoyed it but...nothing memorable.

How was this written in 2012? It was old-fashioned to the point of being offensive. Where was Karen? Besides being rescued TWICE. And Foggy, once. And the whole love triangle, woe woe woe. Not to mention, the bank robbers and government corruption plots. If this was a throwback, I think it didn't succeed. It may have captured the style of the past, but not its heart.Two stars for including a couple of solid issues by Mark Waid in the back. Good stuff. Now THAT'S everything to love about Daredevi...

Great, fast-paced action and good art. A great introduction to Daredevil. It did it's job and made me want to read more from this character.

I disliked this as much as I disliked the cover.

Cheap art. Cheaper retelling of Daredevil's start. No wonder the SEASON ONE series never took off.

The retelling of Matt Murdock’s early experiences as Daredevil somehow reads like a cliff notes version of itself. Things happen at a breakneck speed which makes the story feel like it really wants to get to the ending and be done with things instead of taking time to explore the characters or world. It's especially noticeable in that Matt's actual origin-- i.e the loss of his eyesight, his relationship with his dad, and his dad's death-- happens in a single page. One page! That's a totally new

I thought I was getting an origin story. A re-imagining. Something along those lines...One freakin' page. Four panels.Panel 1: I had a nice Dad.Panel 2: I got hit by a truck. Crrrrunch!Panel 3: I'm blind, but now I have super-senses. Panel 4: Dad was murdered.WHAT?!Ok, in it's defense, it seems to be telling the story of a younger less experienced Daredevil. But in no way did this inspire me to like this character. At All. He seemed like a fairly inept crime fighter most of the time. And I guess...

A hodgepodge of storylines are packed so tightly into this graphic novel that the actual "origin" was two panels (aren't these origin stories?). Overall, it has a pretty thin plot and I thought the artwork was subpar compared to the other Season Ones (is Alves obsessed with close ups of smiling faces??). Maybe I'm more critical of this one because I have always liked Daredevil as a character, since his edginess stands apart from other Marvel heroes, but this adaptation was almost as horrible as

A great summary of his early years and how he adapted to his powers.

A fun, modern origin story for Daredevil. I'll check out the other Season One books for the other Marvel characters.

I had no prior knowledge of Daredevil before reading this book and all my current knowledge comes from reading this book. I felt like I am missing some big pieces since the beginning and couldn't really properly follow the story, because it was so disjointed and jumped from one spot to other, trying to introduce more and more villains and heroes, touching everything and everyone if not in text, at least in the graphics (yep, the Tussauds of superheroes and villains, really?)... Even if somehow I...

Marvel has decided to retell iconic characters origins in books called “Season One”. They swear they have nothing to do with DC’s successful Earth One graphic novels. Sadly, this Daredevil entry is pointless, unimaginative, and not pretty to look at. The creative team of Anthony Johnston and Wellinton Alves has done very good work in the past but here they have nothing to add to story and the changes made are without meaning. Alves’ art is so inconsistent that each panel looks like it was drawn

I'm not much of a comics reader, so all the complaints in the reviews about the cliche story aren't that relatable. This was a perfectly fine retelling of Matt Murdock's first outings as a hero without the need for any crazy twists. The complaints about the art are also particularly overblown, with especially the Matador looking really good.

i love matt but this was just a bore. the whole love triangle with karen made no sense, too. just......no.

I don't think Marvels Season One graphic Novel plan ever really caught on that well. Long time readers aren't interested because they've read these stories before (since they're mainly set in the early years of the character), and I don't think they're good enough to really pull new fans in and keep them reading more. The only reason I've read this (and I'll be reading the Ant-Man one next) is because they're on Marvel Unlimited, so why not?The Daredevil volume has Daredevil still starting out,

A fun look back. His doubts are shown.

So back in my review of daredevil yellow I made vow to give an automatic one star review to any book (comics or otherwise) that had a love triangle between two men fighting over a girl who doesn't even know either of them is interested. Well I stand by my word and here we are with the EXACT same plot with the EXACT same characters doing the EXACT same bullshit. Murdock falls in love with the secretary cause she's pretty and helpless and he gets to save her. Foggy falls in love with her and plans...

It seems like the reviews have been mostly describing this as mediocre or so-so.I respectfully have a different opinion. (Call it 3.5 stars.) I've read some of the other Season One books (Fantastic Four, Dr. Strange, X-Men) in the last month and 'DD' might be the one I enjoyed the most so far. True, the origin section is condensed to only a few early pages but I liked the main plot and action.
