One of the most boring Daredevil books I've ever read. Five issues of Matt moping and dreaming about a skeleton in a Daredevil costume tormenting him. There's very little progression of the story from issue to issue. It's the same thing over and over again. "You'll never be Daredevil again. Not only because you were hit by a truck, but because of the lifetime of abuse you've taken as Daredevil." Rinse. Repeat. Ad nauseam. The entire miniseries could have been summed up in one training montage of...
Not indecently done but Matt's inner questioning about his future as Daredevil has been done time and again.Since we all know the answer before even starting, the book would have to be near perfect to raise any interest. It's one issue too long and the art is way too bland to even hope coming close.For hardcore fans and completists only.
Matt Murdock died and reborn thrice: when hit by a camion, after Kingpin found out his secret identity and after becoming the leader of the Hand.Marvel decided it was time for another resurrection after Soule's run and clear the stage for Zdarsky's next one.The result is this hit and miss 5 issues mini-series, it had a few good moments like the scene from dead Karen's point of view, but the art was not much my cup of tea and the author totally forgot a certain red haired russian spy was among Ma...
Daredevil usually never has a bad title and while this one is weaker than some, it's still solid transition chapter for Matt Murdock. So this takes place between Soule's run and Chips new run. After Matt is hit by a truck he's in rough shape and wondering if he should continue being the hero everyone knows him as. Will he quit? That's the big question. I really enjoyed some things. The art is solid throughout and the retelling of events is good. I also really enjoyed the Defenders chapter and wa...
"What is pain for, Matt?" As an entry in the underappreciated genre of the transitional miniseries -- that oft-forgot little sub-species of the superhero comic that fills the vacuum left while a new creator prepares to pick up the baton left behind by a previous long-runner, this is about as good of a simultaneous coda to Soule's emotional odyssey and a first step in Zdarsky's descent into Hell as one could hope for, and as good of a primer to everything Daredevil as it is a tribute to what h
A reasonably good, if overly dramatic, preparation for a new era of Daredevil. It's hard to say that it's going to really change anything but the way this digs into Matt's psyche and examines his fear and the way his superhero antics influenced people around him is quite good. An exciting start to a new chapter and a good bar to surpass.
Hit by a truck and told he’ll never walk again, Matt Murdock resolves to hang up the mask and tights for good – Daredevil is DEAD! What’re you rolling your eyes for? You don’t believe Matt Murdock will remain a cripple – that this is how his story ends? That Marvel would decide to get rid of one of their biggest characters so anticlimactically? Come onnnnnn, it’s f’reals, dawg! It’s… yeah it’s bullshit. And bullshit is how it reads - man alive is this book a yawner! Matt convalesces while a seri...
This was an interesting read.It starts with Matt having doubts about himself after the Fisk war and his supposed death and so he is confronted by his fear and sees all the things that have happened to him and he tries to push apart his friends and loved one like Sam, Kirsten and even his defender team mates and has an interesting convo with Fisk and some flashback sequences set in the past and we see he is afraid for the first time but he remembers what his Dad taught him and using that he gets
I went back and read this after already starting the Zdarsky series. My expectations were low and the book ended up being better than I hoped. Nearly no action scenes, it's a psychological trip into Matt's mind to see what exactly drives him and makes him keep going as Daredevil. The book is almost completely an internal dialogue. It still feels like it was aiming in the right direction but missed the mark slightly, though. Is it a necessary read for the next series? Not really? But if you are a...
One of the most boring Daredevil stories I've ever read. The writing isn't bad, it's just not engaging in the least.
Following the events of "Death of Daredevil," "Man Without Fear:..." bridges the gap between Daredevil's "death" and the new series by Chip Zdarsky. If you are a Daredevil fan, or new to the game, you won't be disappointed by this current series of events in Daredevil's journey. I have absolutely nothing critical to say about this book. It was an emotional thrill-ride following a broken man (both physically and mentally) while he had to overcome the metaphorical death of his alter ego. The story...
3.5*This doesn't have any plot but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Probably because it gives closure to some plotlines Charles Soule abandoned in his run.
I'll be honest, when I finished the first four issues of this mini-series, I wasn't a huge fan. With little action, this plot-driven arc focused on characters I didn't really know, and seemed to be a predictable story. But the final issue really brought it together. This transitional series was a perfect introduction to the new Comic Daredevil, who is usually branded as the Man Without Fear. After a tragic accident, he's paralyzed by fear and must come to terms with the fact that he has to keep
Before the book starts, Matthew Murdock is hit by a truck as he rescues someone in a crosswalk. This event lands Matt in a hospital bed, his body broken beyond repair. The entire focus of the piece is Matt's struggle with physical therapy and emotional demons. SPOILER- He gets it done in time for the next relaunch.The comic takes a long time to get to the point and will be easy to forget.
The weakest parts of the story is when Matt is interacting with side characters. The book shines when he is alone and with Fisk. The last issue is by far the best. Looking forward to diving into the on going series. The art is kinda hit and miss for me.
Ever want to see a writer tread water while another writer gets their book ready?None of this matters or is interesting.
THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR #1-5 (Marvel, 2019) Matt Murdock nearly dies, and has plenty of time to reflect while recuperating in the hospital. He's seriously thinking about hanging up his Daredevil clothes and just being Matt Murdock. Friends, ex-lovers, and associates all try to talk him out of it, and in an unusual twist the least likely person convinces him to stay in the game. Masterful. 5 STARS. Writer Jed MacKay bridges the gap between the Charles Soule version of Daredevil and the more recent C...
One of the worst comics I’ve read in a while. They continued the dream sequence nonsense from volume 8, which had already waaaay overstayed it’s welcome. The story could have been handled in half an issue, and didn’t need to be a multi-issue arc. The “conflict” didn’t make much sense, in execution or lead up, and it was just an all-around mess. As for the art, I lost count of the number of artist changes in this storyline, and the artwork was middling at best.The worst thing about this volume, t...
generous 3 star... Death of Daredevil you say? O.k. I was intrigued but that was short lived. DD is hit by a truck and is in a hospital never to walk again. He says all the corny shit people say " no I am serious, I am done!" that type of talk. Anyways we get a somewhat deep look into what is Matt is going through as he fights for his life and livelihood. The one element I did like was the personification of fear and pain, that was rad.I was really hoping for a big moment or reveal... I dont rea...
I actually really liked this. I liked the idea of letting Soule's run end at his last issue, he obviously cared about his ending. But.... I'm looking for continuity on the shelf and I've got Zdarsky's first book cued up next. So this transitional book should be included.I really liked the structure, how each issue was focused on his interaction with someone else, and then his inner fear demon thing. The Defenders issue was great, really got at the heart of what was up. Then the Kingpin issue was...
