Well, it's an OK story. From the beginning it was good until the middle and end, when the frigging devil popped out of nowhere and out of context.

Nocenti's work here is genius. The fact that she was writing these scripts at a major company is still shocking. Many people unfairly read this as subversive, overly political, etc (all of which may be true, for all I know), but what they completely miss is that Nocenti has put together an incredibly complex analysis of heroism and it's hypocrisy. The world is incredibly grey, where right and wrong begin to lose their meaning except in the eyes of the children here. I'm also fascinated by Nocent...

There's something about (Typhoid) Mary!It is impossible to review this story without explaining the context a bit. I first read these comics in Finnish, in the nineties, as they were collected in a magazine called Sarjakuvalehti (you can actually see which Marvel comics were collected in it between 1990-96 on this website (it's in Finnish): http://www.perunamaa.net/sarjakuvaroc...). So I must have been around ten at the time. And I can tell you that Daredevil (both Miller's and Nocenti's) made q...

Mixed feelings. Would have enjoyed it more several years ago. Now, it was just a bit of MEH. But great character Typhoid Mary, not a bad Romita Jr and Kingpin as good as usual

It's strange. Daredevil works best when written as a pulp hero, as with Frank Miller or Brian Bendis, but sometimes people just want to see him as a superhero doing big things, like they can with Spider-Man. I prefer the pulp every time, giving Daredevil something that makes him really stand out from other heroes.This book is trying to blend both worlds, doing the superhero thing while building a dark atmosphere of story. The introduction of Typhoid Mary is actually very engaging and I'm glad I

Por lo que veo en la descripción, el contenido de este tomo lo tengo distribuido entre los tacos 2 y 3 de la colección de retapados que sacó Forum hace bocha. Cuando finalmente me los lea, veré si reparto la reseña entre esos libros y este o qué.

It's a little difficult to review this book. The immediate impression I had upon finishing it was to wonder why Ann Nocenti isn't always mentioned in the same breath as the greats, such as (obviously) Frank Miller or Chris Claremont or Dennis O'Neill or... You get the idea. But taking into account the inconsistent nature of this particular storyline, I wonder if it's indicative of her output overall.Let's get this out of the way; there are some great comics in this collection. Nocenti and Romita...

A mi me encanta Daredevil, con su actitud sufrida, que siempre cree en la justicia, sus saltos en la ciudad y sus enemigos de lujo, por eso me anime a leer este tomo y no me decepciono. Typhoid Mary es una asesina con dos personalidades, en un lado es una ternurita que dan ganas de invitarla a comer helado y contarle tu vida, en otra, es una Jesse Jane con poderes telekineticos y pirotecnicos que quiere sangre. Acá esta este Matt Murdock que siempre se mete en líos de faldas ( ah, para ser ciego...

No me sorprende que sea uno de los clásicos de Daredevil. La edad oscuro del cómic le sienta muy bien a este superhéroe y Ann Nocenti no solo sabe sacarle jugo a este NY lleno de violencia, drogas y capitalismo salvaje, también nos da una de las malas más malísimas del mundo Marvel, Typhoid Mary. El trabajo artistico de John Romita Jr. al nivel del resto.

In my continuing quest to read more Daredevil, I found myself working up to Ann Nocenti's "Typhoid Mary" storyline. There's definitely some good stuff in here (it's always nice to see Daredevil's life take a beating, not because I wish him any ill, but because it's so interesting to see how he reacts to fate's latest kick in the teeth), but there's some less-than-good stuff as well. Like Typhoid Mary's visual design, for example. Who the hell came up with that? What's with the metal shoulders? S...

Segundo tomo de la etapa de Ann Nocenti a cargo del diablo de la cocina del infierno. Esta vez ya con John Romita Jr. como único acompañante. Si el anterior tomo era ya un buen comienzo tras la alargada sombra de Frank Miller y "Born Again", aquí despegamos definitivamente gracias a una de esas amantes que destruyen al héroe y de paso a la persona tras la mascara. Dice Ann Nocenti que quería romper con los cánones femeninos en los tebeos y desde luego con María Tifoidea se rompió el molde, porqu...

Diretamente do final dos anos 80 do século XX, algo muito aparente no estilo visual, uma das mais duras inimigas de Daredevil. Typhoid Mary é uma vilã de personalidade dupla, tanto pode ser a inocente e manipulável Mary, como a violenta, sem limites e com alguns poderes telequinésicos Typhoid. Na sequência da reconstrução do personagem por Frank Miller, com Matt Murdock a sobreviver à conspiração de Kingpin para o destruir, Typhoid Mary entra em jogo. A sua missão? Uma segunda tentativa de destr...

This volume of Daredevil, which introduces one of his supposed greatest foes, has just about every problem comics had in the late 80s and early 90s. First of all, Typhoid Mary is introduced with basically no explanation for where she came from or why she's suddenly in town. There's a vast splash page of exposition used to attempt to explain her powers and her particular brand of lunacy, but all this did was further make me wonder "Why in the hell is she going after Daredevil? Why is she even in

Typhoid Mary, classic femme fatale. Her seductive nature isn’t really put down, no one is calling her a slut or anything, but instead it’s a show of her power. She’s using mens desires for her to her favor.Obviously, glaring problem with her character is the misrepresentation of DID, one innocent side, one dangerous side. As much as I hate that, it’s important to consider the context, because this WAS written in the ‘80’s, so I can’t expect them to have the best or most accurate representation.

The definition of why event crossovers suck. The plot of the book gets shot in the last 2 or 3 issues by the inferno crossover. Suddenly the story shifts and makes almost no sence to anyone reading this without at least knowing what inferno was. The story itself is good, Typhoid Mary is a great character. Daredevil/Matt kind of suffer from focus shifting from Typhoid, Kingpin, and Foggy. The children in the book get to be annoying but only show up a few times so they are not that big of a deal.

I have no idea how to rate this.Nocenti's run is schizophrenic (get it? like Typhoid Mary. Ho ho ho. OK. Back to reviewing.) - she introduces great characters, great Big Ideas, tries to move Daredevil to places where he hasn't been before. And then none of that goes anywhere; there is no pay-off, no real resolution, everything just ends. So on one hand I really liked her run for all the ideas that are thrown at us, and yes, even for the Big Messages that the characters are constantly proclaiming...

Ann Nocenti's writing is not for everyone. It is weird. But it's definitely my thing.

Probably deserves at least another half a star for Karen Page. (Karen Page!) I don't click with the way Nocenti writes Matt, but Typhoid Mary's an interesting chick, and also: Karen Page.
