Daredevil v2 #056-081 by Brian Bendis & Alex Maleev
Bendis and Maleev are back for the second part of their epic saga. They picked a perfect place in the story to take a break, because the first arc "King of Hell's Kitchen" takes place 1 year later. Matt has really cleaned up his district, nobody dares to do crime in his territory. However he only pushed the problems to different areas, which is [...]
Daredevil v2 #051-055: Echo by David Mack
After 25 issues, David Mack comes in to give Bendis and Maleev a rest, before they continue their epic run. Mack previously wrote an arc drawn by Quesada, and drew an arc wrote by Bendis. This time he both writes and draws, so it really feels like a "David Mack" comic, like Kabuki. There's not much plot in this arc. Echo comes back to NY to [...]
Daredevil v2 #026-050 by Brian Bendis & Alex Maleev
This is the run I've been wanting to read for years. To me, this was the peak of Bendis writing skills, before he started writing Avengers. Here he is reunited with his collaborator on Sam & Twitch, Alex Maleev. I loved that series, so I was happy to see them together on Daredevil. Their run is mainly a crime comic, smoothly mixed with [...]
Daredevil vol2 #20-25: Playing to the Camera
This next arc is written by Bob Gale, with art by Phil Winslade and Dave Ross. This story focuses on Matt's day job as a lawyer. In fact, not only is Matt working as a lawyer, but he's helping his client sue Daredevil! That's a great idea that brings to many interesting situations. Daredevil hires a lawyer but keeps his identity secret. He's [...]
Daredevil vol2 #009-019: Parts of a Hole & Wake Up
Issues 9-14 are Parts of a Hole, written by David Mack with continuing art by Joe Quesada (minus the fill-in issue 12). This introduces Maya Lopez who is the perfect mate for Daredevil. Her powers are to mimic any physical activity by just looking at someone else. So she can mimic someone playing piano, acting or fighting. This is not a [...]
Daredevil vol2 #001-008: Guardian Devil
Another series that I've always wanted to read is Daredevil. Ever since Quesada started Marvel Knights, this series has been well reviewed. I actually read a few story lines, but I never went beyond 3-4 arcs. So I thought I'd start from issue 1, even though it's been recently changed to the old numbering. This first story arc is the one that [...]
Daredevil: Yellow
Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale are famous for their collaborations at DC, and it was inevitable that they would do the same at Marvel. This is one of their many "color" miniseries, telling stories during the beginning of the heroes career. In this case Daredevil is remembering his first few years while writing a diary to Karen Page. He recounts how he [...]
