So this is an all new start for Matt Murdock. He's left Hell's Kitchen (after losing his license in New York), and he's settled in San Francisco.
Get it? Devil at Bay? Bay? San Francisco Bay?!
Yes, I know, awesome wordplay. And you're all impressed that I actually rubbed both of my brain cells together and caught it, aren't you?

description

I initially thought I'd missed something at the end of Daredevil, Volume 7, because it opens with Foggy being dead. And I was all like, Whuuuut?
But don't worry, it's a mystery that gets explained as it goes on.

description

So since Foggy is dead, Matt's partnered up with Kirsten, his {relationship undefined} friend and Alfredesque sidekick.
I don't mean she's his butler, just that she's on the other end of the headset telling him which of dark alleys the bad guys are potentially hiding in, and/or what rooftops to take to escape.

description

Matt has seemingly left his brooding alter-ego in New York, and is taking advantage of his fame. It doesn't hurt that he saves the mayor's daughter right out of the gate, so I'm pretty sure he'll have the backing of the city from here on out.

description

I've actually enjoyed Waid's lighter take on DD, and I'm glad to see that it's going to continue in this new title. However, if you're missing the darker stuff, one look at this artwork should tell you to turn back now. It's not super-fluff, but it's close...especially for Daredevil.

description

There are a couple of villains to choose from, Owlsley is the new Big Bad, but this other fella Shadow Man is also causing trouble.
Is he friend? Is he foe?
Doesn't really matter. This is more of a set-up for the rest of his time in San Francisco, an introduction to new players, and showing the lay of the land.

description

Last up, is the bonus 0.5 issue that shows Matt's road trip to California. Is it worth it?
Minotaur-the-Sewer Battle!

description

Yeah, I'll let you decide for yourself on that one.
All in all, this wasn't bad. It was sorta all over the place with some interesting stuff thrown in every now and then. I'm in for volume 2, but I'm not expecting to be WOWed.

One of the crueler things you can do to a blind person is re-arrange their furniture without telling them, so Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, aka The Man Without Fear, aka Marvel’s blind superhero has no one to blame but himself when he moves to a brand new city - San Francisco.

After years of swinging around New York, knowing where every building, every tower, every hospital, every public bathroom is located, he now has to cope with chance of banging the family jewels on a random flag pole. Ouch!

Also, he has to contend with another superhero in town, as in this-town-ain’t-big-enough-for-the-both-of-us pissing contest with none other than the Shroud. Who? Exactly.

Foggy Nelson update:

Random (shaddup) Thoughts

More Kirsten McDuffie. Please!

Even though Mark Waid continues to be the creator on this one, Marvel has decided to re-number the series at issues #1 – 6, making this, I believe the hundred and eleventh Daredevil #1 reboot.

It’s sad that Ant Man/Hank Pym couldn’t be as cool elsewhere, than as he is in the Daredevil books.

1 - Daredevil adjusts to life in San Franciso and looks for a kidnapping victim.

Relocating Daredevil to San Francisco is a good justification for renumbering the series, I guess. Matt's law practice has new life with Kirsten McDuffie as his new partner. It'll be interesting to see Matt cope with fighting crime in a city that isn't all skyscrapers.

2 - While looking for the Owl, Daredevil meets San Francisco's other blind crimefighter, The shroud!

Huh. I read about The Shroud in Marvel Universe but this is the first comic I'd ever read featuring him. You'd think blind crimefighters would stick together. Chris Samnee's art gives this series a unique feel. Or almost unique. It reminds me of David Aja's work on Hawkeye a bit.

3 - After the standard hero vs. hero brawl, Daredevil and The Shroud join forces against the Owl...

Or do they? Mark Waid does a great job contrasting Daredevil and the Shroud. I'm curious about the Shroud's appearances before this one now. Damn Waid!

4 - Things go pear shaped as Daredevil and The Shroud face off with the Owl and his men.

The Shroud's motives become clear and it turns out he and Daredevil have a lot more in common than blindness. I love how Daredevil describes the Owl. "He is a walking sack of hate and gristle."

0.1 - On a flight from New York to San Francisco, the plane makes an emergency landing in Wisconsin and Matt decides to follow a mysterious passenger with no heartbeat.

I thought this one was a little predictable, although I did not foresee the ass-kicking the Mad Thinker took. Once again, Waid and Samnee do a great job depicting Matt's blindness.

5 - In order to be safe, Foggy Nelson needs to tie.

As Foggy's cancer progresses, Matt realizes he's put the lives of everyone he cares about in the crosshairs. Right before Leap Frog shows up. This was a surprisingly touching tale and explains Foggy being in disguise in Frisco.

Closing Thoughts: It's a little too early to say if moving Daredevil to San Francisco was a good idea or not. However, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee continue to put out a great super hero comic. Four out of five stars.

Come and listen to a story about a man named Matt
A blind lawyer superhero who carried a small bat
Then one day he was fighting a bad guy
And he decided that he could no longer lie.

Secret identity, that is. All over the news. Gone bye-bye.

Well, the first thing you know ol’ Matt’s been disbarred
The Avengers said, “Matt, you gotta give up that ID card.”
Said “Californy is the place you ought to be.”
So he loaded up his devil suit and moved to....San Francisco?


Damn, it was nearly the perfect parody song.

As a general rule, I dig Mark Waid. Also as a general rule, I'm fairly indifferent toward Daredevil (notwithstanding the Kevin Smith run, which I enjoyed immensely, and feel free to lob scathing remarks at me for that, peanut gallery).

So, let's do the math: writer I dig + character I'm "meh" about = 3 stars. This is a solid, entertaining story; it just didn't make me a convert to the Church of Matt Murdock. I'm not sure what it is about Daredevil that just doesn't get my knickers all twisty. I mean, he's Spider-Man lite, right? And Spidey is my favorite character. Shouldn't I like Daredevil more?

Maybe it's because I work with lawyers all day and none of them, to the best of my knowledge, are crime-fighting vigilantes at night, so I just can't buy the premise. High school kid gets bit by radioactive spider and gains super powers? That's a credible story. Lawyer does something interesting outside of work? That requires a bit too much suspension of disbelief (I kid, my lawyer friends...especially if you read this, Tadiana).

At any rate, I'll probably continue to check it out, but it won't be high on my priority list. I do dig the relocation to SF, though--it's nice to get out of Manhattan in the Marvel U once in a while. Do I smell a West Coast Avengers revival...?

I tell you the truth, if this book had just been Matt hanging out with Kirsten and occasionally putting on the Daredevil suit to run around on rooftops and punch random bad guys, I would have liked it a lot more. Waid is very good at writing these characters being themselves at this point, and the scenes that are "small" are the best in the book. Waid's version of Daredevil, both in costume and in his civilian identity, is a very engaging character. I'm getting really attached to him.

But the bigger stories, the story arcs... Meh. I noticed this with Waid's previous thirty or so issues of Daredevil, before the Marvel Now! relaunch. He has the characters down cold, he writes fun, funny, emotionally effective scenes when he's thinking small. But extrapolating into big arcs seems to be a weakness, at least right now with this character. Maybe he should stick to a more old fashioned, one issue at a time format. I think it would be a great improvement for the book.

But he's got me now. As long as he's still writing Daredevil, I'm still going to care about this character. Whether he tries to write longer stories or not.

DC’s New 52 reboot made the company a lot of money in the short term and, a year later, Marvel followed suit with their Marvel NOW! relaunch which also made them a lot of money. Bottom line is: New #1s SELL and it seems both companies these days are scared of titles getting too many issues out, the high numbering sure to scare off prospective new readers.

So it goes with Mark Waid and Chris Samnee’s Daredevil, a title that ran for 7 volumes outside of Marvel NOW! and which has now been relaunched as part of All-New Marvel NOW! back to Volume 1 because 8 volumes? Much too big a number (and maybe their sales were flagging after 30+ issues?) so it’s time for a relaunch, even though it’s the same creative team, same character, same cast and storyline. Though there’s an argument to be made (however flimsy) that Volume 7 ended with the end of one phase of Matt Murdock’s life and the beginning of a new.

Wha’ happen’? Well, if this is your first Waid/Samnee Daredevil or maybe you gave up on their last run and decided to check back with their latest, here’s a quick recap of how we got here:

Daredevil went up against the Sons of the Serpent who threatened to make his secret identity as blind lawyer Matt Murdock public. Matt preempted their threat and outed himself as Daredevil leading to the Sons’ fall. The ensuing fallout meant that he and Foggy Nelson were barred from practicing law in New York - but not from other states! So they upped stakes and, along with Matt’s on again/off again girlfriend Kirsten McDuffie, headed west to San Francisco to start life afresh!

Aside from the geographical change, a pretty major lifestyle switch for Foggy, and the fact that Matt’s being bothered by people in public who’re trying to get a selfie with Daredevil out of costume, it’s basically the same upbeat Daredevil that most fans fell for first time round. I want to say it’s a great first (or eighth) volume but the various stories collected here didn’t really do a whole lot for me.

Matt meets with the Deputy Mayor of San Fran who points out some of the troublemakers in the city that Daredevil could target, including Max Coleridge aka The Shroud (who has VERY Batman-esque origins), and Leland Owlsley aka The Owl. And so Matt gets wrapped up in those two characters’ stories which begets fairly rote stuff with suffering and power-plays dominating their respective lives.

Part of the problem is Waid’s scripting. He’s good at little scenes here and there like Matt posing for selfies while he and Kirsten go out for coffee, or how Kirsten decides to rename their offices, and of course he’s got Matt’s character down cold by now; but the overall storylines continue to underwhelm. The ones he supplies for this book struggle and fail to live up to some of the highs in previous volumes. I also don’t really like the action in this series - it’s not very exciting, the layouts are at times a tad vexing and everything feels slow despite knowing that what’s happening is supposed to be fast.

Action is really the only failing I have with regards Samnee’s art which is otherwise as terrific as you’d expect. I love how he works in the San Francisco landscape without going for the obvious landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge or the hills and trams or the harbour, and everything looks absolutely amazing.

I did like what Waid did with Foggy’s storyline - the poor guy’s undergoing cancer treatment - but if I say anymore then I’m gonna give away what happens. Suffice it to say the flashback issue in NYC that fills in the blanks for the character was easily the best part of the book.

The volume closes out with the Marvel Infinite Comic, Daredevil: Road Warrior, which sees Waid reunite with longtime collaborator, Peter Krause, who draws a wonderfully classic Daredevil. This story has Matt and co. jump on a plane to San Fran before being diverted to Milwaukee due to weather problems. From there it’s the long road out west with troubles aplenty in the form of the Mad Thinker and a really old Avengers adversary.

It’s not that Waid’s a bad writer I just think his stories these days are very uninteresting - across all his titles - at least to me. I like Samnee’s art, I like Daredevil, I like this whole setup - I don’t like how Waid’s filling out the comics with these dull, done-in-one/throwaway stories that barely have a pulse. Daredevil, Volume 1: Devil at Bay is a fine start to the ongoing travails of Matt “Magoo” Murdock but I’d have liked it to have been more exciting - maybe when they relaunched, Marvel should’ve gone with a new writer after all?

I had not been into DD for some time, but this has really rekindled my interest! I have reviewed issues 1-5 separately, so I am going to review Daredevil 0.1 here. Setting DD up against the Thinker (T) really was very interesting. The addition of the Super Adaptoid (SA) was a unique fight. Will look up more in this series!

Following volume 7:

After publicly declaring himself Daredevil in a courtroom, Matt Murdock is disbarred in New York - but he's not in California. So he sets up shop in San Francisco with former New York attorney and - let's say "friend" - Kirsten McDuffie and begins re-learning the city he once lived in years prior. He quickly falls afoul of a blind vigilante called the Shroud who wants Daredevil out of his territory. Daredevil gets between the Shroud and one of DD's earliest nemeses, the Owl, while trying to adjust to his new non-secret identity. The final issue shows the ultimate fate of Foggy Nelson's fight with cancer.

The location change was fitting for Waid's swashbuckling Daredevil, who is a little more optimistic and actually launches the occasional witty retort. His reliance on Kirsten is pitch perfect again, and their easy relationship is set against the backdrop of absolutely everyone knowing who the blind guy with red glasses really is. The Shroud is an interesting contrast to Matt and presents a challenge as someone who means well but is ultimately too unstable to allow to run around (as Matt himself has known to be in the past). The Owl's reappearance is welcome, and he constantly becomes a bit less of a joke and more of a legitimate threat to DD, reminding me a bit of the Penguin with his mob ambitions and vague Owl-like powers. A fun collection with more good character writing from Waid.

Collecting together Daredevil (2014) 1-5 and Daredevil 0.1. Daredevil Vol 1: Devil at Bay for me was a wonderful journey back to comics the way I remember them with more than it's fair share of surprises. The artwork is retro, but if you leave it up to me that's the way I prefer my comics. The colors are deep and shadowy even during the daylight images giving it a sense of foreboding that works really well.
The story it self is well written and offers the reader something they can sink their teeth into. The first blow the story hit me with is Daredevil's move to LA from "Hell's Kitchen" NYC after the death of Foggy Nelson (Matt's partner in the law firm) and the introduction of an anti-hero named The Shroud. I won't even mention that Daredevil's true identity has been revealed (ops, did I say that).
The graphic novel (I know it's not really a graphic novel) is filled with action and great story telling. At a 160 pages this one will keep you engaged from start to finish.

It's actually around a 3.5 but since I enjoyed it more than most of Waid's run so far I'll go give it a 4 star.

Sure, the last issue was silly. Having a copier villain is boring. Even more boring is the villain behind it all being all "hahaha I AM EVIL" type shit. Listen, this isn't 1965, we don't like that silly boring shit no more. RIGHT!? Oh whatever.

However, I loved the chapter of Foggy's "Death". I also loved the fun charming feel of Daredevil staying here. Also the other "hero" in this is both damaged and interesting, and gives more layers to our favorite blind hero. Overall, this whole volume is just a lot of fun with some great character growth moments.

I'm ready to continue now, Waid has brought me back!

I really liked the Waid-Samnee team on Vol.3. Really. It was fun ("I am not Daredevil"), it was cute (Samnee rocks!), it was a real pleasure to read it (well, if you except the Groovie Goolies storyline which was pretty lame in my opinion).
So it saddens me that the beginning of Vol.4 seems so much on auto-pilot. For both authors. Story and art feel...dull. Not boring, not yet, but...It lacks of... wits, of power... of that little bit extra that made it a real reading pleasure in Vol.3. I won't say it's on the verge of mediocrity but if Waid and Samnee don't regain control, it could easily tend to it and that would be a shame for these 2 fine artists.

I think I'm hitting a Daredevil saturation point. I sure do love the character, and you couldn't argue that Waid and Samnee aren't masters of their craft, but I'm starting to get tired. We sort-of reboot things by sending Matt to California, offering up a reasonable enough jumping-on point for new readers, branded under the successful NOW! label. The book is real pretty, and the story touches all of the familiar, functional notes as Waid's earlier work on the character. We have fun new elements to work with, including Foggy's apparent death and our shift in locale, but it all still feels a little too familiar to really be exciting. Daredevil remains solid under Waid's hand, but if you've been around for the whole ride, it may be starting to get a bit stale.

Another brilliant chapter in the Mark Waid Era of Daredevil. Chris Samnee is an outright genius.
An excellent read, though I'm not sure if any of the 6 stories in this volume will resonate long-term and the last tale (Daredevil 0.1) is a total throw-away, hence the 3.5 rating.

After having Matt Murdock show up in what feels like half the comics I've read lately, I decided to actually read Mr Man Without Fear. Dude has so many issues (heh) and I didn't know which to read so I picked randomly and that worked out pretty well.

I'm obsessed with this art- it's so bright and colorful and not the super dark and gritty art I imagine DD gets a lot of. I loved the way it showed his sight. The comment that was like if he could see what was coming after him like sighted people can then they would stop calling him the man without fear took me out.

I'm still really not a fan of red head Matt but I just be salty when he doesn't look exactly like daddy Charlie Cox.

The story itself isn't too dark and gritty either. With the world now knowing that Matt Murdock is Daredevil, he has been disbarred in NYC and has decided to move to San Francisco with fellow lawyer Kiersten. She's also his ~guy in a chair~ if you will, as she gives him the best route to take. Their relationship is... undefined. Apparently Foggy Nelson is dead but the 0.1 issue explains that entire mystery.

Daredevil has to deal with old foe the Owl and fellow blind vigilante the Shroud. It's so funny to me that there's another blind dude kicking ass but love that for them.

But also like one of the bad guys says it and I feel like we should talk about it but everyone knows Matt Murdock is Daredevil so he doesn't need the cane?? And yet still uses one? Yes he's still blind and the cane does turn into his clubs but like plsss everyone knows he doesn't need it, so embarrassing.

Had a fun time reading this though! I feel like I give out five stars way too easily for comics but take your juice & go.

Change in status quo made for some interesting story choice.

World: Fantastic beautiful thick lines, panels, colors and emotions from the characters. The world building is great too with a new status quo for our hero after the last arc and it's fun and fresh enough to make it fun.

Story: The locale change is fresh and made for and interesting read from what would otherwise be a meh story involving the Shroud and the Owl. The pacing was fine but I just didn't really feel any interest in the Shroud and the Owl did not really pose a threat or was there long enough to make it memorable. The Foggy issue is the best thing in the issue. The best! Road Warrior is aight but also predictable and expected in its execution. It's the small character moments in this book that elevate these average stories into something more.

Characters: Matt is his charming self and a great fun character to read. He's not miserable and he deals with heavy stuff and I like that. McDuffie is just a great balance for Matt and charming as all he'll...I wish she had more to do. Foggy if Foggy and that's great. The villains and heroes this arc were a bit if a meh as none really were memorable to leave a mark.

A food change of status quo which led to some expected but well executed stories.

Onward to the next book!

If you've missed out on Waid and Samnee's Daredevil so far, shame on you, but now's the best time to get back into it, with a brand new setting, new #1, and a great new story to start you off. It's fun to see Matt dealing with moving to San Francisco in a natural way, whereas most characters tend to just move on and ignore their setting as if everywhere was New York. The introduction of the Shroud and reintroduction of the Owl are both well realized, and the final issue involving Foggy Nelson seems a little over the top, but plays out in such a way that it works in terms of the series. Also included is #0.1, collecting the Road Warrior digital comic that bridged the gap between this volume and the previous, as Matt attempts to leave New York and get to San Francisco without getting killed by a person with no heartbeat. I'm surprised this is collected at the back of the volume when it chronologically takes place before issue 1, but then when have Marvel's trade collecting policies ever made sense?

Magoo is back! And this time, it's bayside.

Daredevil decides to head on over to the west coast. Apparently, he lost his license to practice law in NYC, but San Francisco's liberal, hippy culture lets people do whatever the hell they want, and he's good to practice there.

It's Mark Waid, and the art is pretty great, so you'll have a good time.

I have a question about Daredevil on Netflix.

How many episodes did it take for you to get hooked? Because I watched half of one, and I was bored out of my mind. Seriously.

Now, I'm not the most patient of viewers. I have no problem giving up on something if it doesn't catch me within 15 minutes. But when I watched Daredevil, I mostly felt like it was going to be a long wait until we got to some good stuff, and then that good stuff would be the best stuff skimmed from the comics of the last couple decades, which I'm familiar with.

Tell me I'm wrong?

Good stuff! So Daredevil has relocated to San Francisco, and this volume is mostly about him getting his bearings. Mark Waid seems to have a good handle on the character, and a real knack for showing the limitations as well as the advantages of DD's powers. High points of this volume for me include issue #3, with Daredevil and the Shroud up against the Owl. Waid's Owl is properly menacing, and the whole story is a great example of a great plan that gets unexpectedly complicated and ends on a terrific cliffhanger. I also really enjoyed the "Road Warrior" story, originally published online in weekly installments between the end of the 2011 Daredevil series and this one (Marvel Comics! Our motto: "You think issue #1 is the beginning of the series? That's so adorable! ") It's well-written, particularly the characterization of the Mad Thinker, and rather poignant. Waid and Samnee are doing a lovely job on this title as far as I can see. Recommended!

The theory used to be that, whatever changes befell a superhero in the comics, they'd be undone once a screen outing came along using the classic take. But Marvel, being fairly smart these days, have realised that synergy brings minimal monthly sales and you don't need your media in lockstep. So the Avengers film can smash box office records while the comics retain a black Cap, female Thor and bastard Stark. And as Daredevil hits Netflix, drenched in New York gloom, Mark Waid merrily continues with the most upbeat, swashbuckling run the character has ever seen. Just to diverge further, this relaunch volume also sees the last tatters of Matt Murdock's secret identity abandoned, and a relocation to San Francisco. And nobody minds in the slightest. It's always nice to see received wisdom crumble.

A enjoyable first volume for the newest Daredevil comic. Waid's writing continues to be fun, and quick-paced. I love his use of a classic foe like The Owl, who comes across well here, but also his good attention to a west-coast super in The Shroud. The SF detail is OK, and accurate as far as it goes, but not any big deal.

My only complaint is with the Infinite Comics issue (#0.1) which was reprinted here. It was nice to have it, but it's poorly paced and shallow. What a difference a medium makes!

Daredevil se muda a San Francisco en este comienzo de la segunda temporada de la serie a cargo de Mark waid. Un tomo bastante redondo que va acomodando las cosas un poco después de los sucesos del tomo final anterior.

Muchos "veremos" más que nada, pero la serie sigue siendo muy entretenida y Waid sigue escribiendo al personaje de manera muy personal, y los dibujos la verdad que ayudan mucho y lo convierten en un comic bastante único.
