A real mixed bag this DD volume from Joe Kelly, and some of the artists involved were just not at their best.



I really loved the Mr Fear storyline, the Daredevil/Deadpool annual was great (and it fixed something really bad old hornhead done when starting his hero career), and A time to say farewell, a tale about young Matt's arrival at college with his dad Battlin' Jack Murdock and when he first met Foggy is just one of my most fan favourite DD stories ever.

This volume wraps up the original Daredevil series at 380 issues. This had high points and low points, but for the most part it was good. I didn't care for the final issue, but this was by no means a bad volume. The Mr. Fear storyline was pretty good as it was a roller coaster ride. Good volume overall.

This was a bit of a slog to get through. For me, the annual featuring Typhoid Mary tangling with DD and Deadpool was a definite highpoint but that was only a single issue out of this sizable collection. The rest of the book suffered from some rushed art and stories that largely felt like filler.

Eu acabo de adquirir um novo respeito pelo leitor de quadrinhos que, nos anos 90, todo mês comprava gibizinho do Demolidor, porque é muito ruim.
Sério.
É inexplicável.
Primeiro tivemos o Demolidor de armadura, depois tentativas frustrantes de corrigir aquela porcaria, e agora, bom, agora foi o boi e as cordas com o Joe Kelly.
É.
O cara do Deadpool.
A primeira coisa que ele faz? Deadpool, Demolidor e Mary Tifóide num retcon horrível do Homem Sem Medo do Miller/Romitinha.
Depois, ainda temos o Sr Medo num plano mirabolante para fazer o Homem Sem Medo sentir, bom, medo, obviamente , que envolve acusar a Karen Page de assassinar um policial - e ela matou o cara mesmo. Também temos atribulações amorosas no namorico do Foggy com a Liz Osborn, a mãe e a meia-irmã do Foggy também aparecem por aí.
Depois de tudo isso, para colocar sal grosso na ferida, Scott Lobdell aparece, faz uma lavagem cerebral no Demolidor e manda ele pra Paris. A troco de quê? Não sei, o agente da Shield que cuidava disso morreu atropelado.
Sério.
E para esfregar o sal grosso, a última edição - 380 - tem o Chichester escrevendo uma metaficção sobre o Deathdevil - um Demolidor de Armadura, claro, que solta bombas nucleares pelos punhos.
Eu deveria ter gastos meu Vintão em Ploc Gigante Laranja/Uva que eu teria ficado mais feliz.

Surprisingly a pretty good collection, considering it follows quite closely from Fall From Grace which wasn't that great. There's a gratuitous crossover with new fan favourite on the block, Deadpool, as Joe Kelly takes over writing Daredevil for a year or so. A good conclusion to the original legacy run.

Maybe 3.5

[Barry Bridges · Rating 3 out of 5]

The fast half of this collection is a little messy, the plot sometimes confusing. The four part Flying Blind is a good yarn!

[Iván · Rating 5 out of 5]

Espectaculares dibujos como siempre.

[Gastón Ledesma · Rating 4 out of 5]

La saga de Mr. Fear me gusto, y el número final es un buen cierre.

[Connor · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a pretty mixed bag. Some fun scenes, some interesting villains, but also rushed art and rush stories.
