Puntaje: 4.6 Estrellas.
Daredevil era una compra obligatoria para esta nueva colección de “Los héroes más poderosos de Marvel” en Colombia. Matt Murdock es mi personaje “callejero” favorito de Marvel y no podía perderme su propio volúmen, y más aún si contiene la icónica historia de “El hombre sin miedo”.
La primera historia que encontramos en este tomo es el primer cómic jamás publicado de Daredevil, en donde nos presentan a Matt Murdock, su historia y su vida. Lo curioso es que, como se trataba del primer cómic del personaje, literalmente nos hicieron un resumen de 15 minutos sobre él, de tal forma que el lector conociera lo esencial de Daredevil desde el cómic #1 y así se enfocaban en su lucha contra el crimen en los demás números.
Esta historia original tiene unos ligeros cambios una vez Marvel decide modernizar al personaje, aunque su esencia se mantiene.
Por otro lado, “El Hombre sin Miedo” es una de mis historias favoritas de Daredevil. Si bien no he leído tanto como quisiera del personaje, esta opinión también la comparten miles de lectores alrededor del mundo, así que no puedo estar muy equivocado. Aquí Frank Miller nos da un nuevo orígen de Matt Murdock y nos describe cómo fue su vida desde su niñez, pasando por sus años universitarios y llegando a su vida adulta.
Aquí también presenciaremos la primera aventura de Matt Murdock como Daredevil, usando simplemente un conjunto de sudadera negra, una pañoleta que le cubre los ojos y unos tennis.
Además, Miller nos presenta a icónicos personajes que hacen parte del mundo de Matt Murdock como lo son Foggy Nelson, Elektra, Kingpin, Stick, entre otros. Todos personajes fascinantes que, si han visto la serie de Netflix, sin duda recordarán. En especial porque la serie se basó mucho en esta historia para hacer su primera temporada.
Considero que este es un tomo infaltable de la colección de Los héroes más poderosos de Marvel. Daredevil es un personaje que sin duda debes conocer, yo personalmente lo recomiendo mucho. Además, este tome es un excelente abrebocas a las historias de Daredevil y su alter ego de Matt Murdock. No me cabe duda que, una vez termines este toma, quieras seguir leyendo más de Daredevil.

(This review may contain spoilers).
As I'm reading more and more about the Marvel superheroes, I've found the fact that most of them have flaws to be really interesting. But Daredevil's always been fascinating, since he's been the first one I've met with an actual physical disability that still doesn't stop him from doing the right thing.
I found it good to see the two different comics, both with slightly different versions of Daredevil's origin story. I had a lot of sympathy for him as a character, considering he lost his sight and then his dad... not to mention the bullying he suffered that I can relate to really easily.
The first comic was a bit lighter than the second set, I noticed. Even though they both dealt with some quite awful things, I felt that the first comic was a little more juvenile compared to the second... which was much darker and contained a lot more violence. I cringed at the hints of what was done to Matt's father in the second set.
I found Elektra to look and seem really creepy in the second set of comics. Although I was intrigued by her history and the hints that she was a more developed character, her interactions with Matt seemed to be a little unhealthy. Of course, his history indicates that he's unlucky in love... possibly even more so than many of the other superheroes.
It was interesting to see the differences in the costumes Daredevil used, with the first one being yellow; while the second was the much more familiar red.
I think Matt's character came across as much more darker in the second set of comics. He seemed to have more emotional wounds than in the first one... and his father seemed to have a better relationship with him, too. It wasn't very nice to read about his history with his mother.
I liked Foggy in both of the sets of comics and it was good to see that the two of them had a close friendship, as well as being partners in law. I would have liked to know a bit more about Stick... though I felt his character made a lot of sense in the second set of comics. Matt developing his abilities made more sense there, too.
I'd be interested in reading some of the later comics and seeing Daredevil interact with some of the other superheroes. It would be good to see him in other environments and how he handles different situations.

Tomo dedicado al hombre sin miedo, con el primer numero del primer volumen... y de paso, primera aparición, de Daredevil, con ese traje amarillo que no pegaba ni juntaba
Y dentro de las historias modernas/más icónicas, cuenta con El Hombre sin Miedo, la serie limitada en que Frank Miller con un John Romita Jr. en su mejor momento, dan un origen definitivo al justiciero ciego
Junto al tomo de los X-men, de lo mejor de esta colección, 5/5 sin dudas, no un 4.5/5 ni aproximaciones, 5/5

This is a hard one to review as its got 2 origin stories, the first issue and the 'man without fear' retcon. Both with different writers, artists and done nearly 30 years apart.
I'd want to give it 3.5 stars but there's no half stats on good reads.
I really liked the first issue from the 60s, I thought it was one of the better ones from that era. It was funny and heartfelt and had a very upbeat vibe to it, I'd give this one 4.5 or 5 stars.
I wasn't as keen on how Frank Miller retconned it with his run on 'Man without fear.' Having Matt's dad hit him and having that be why Matt wants to be a lawyer felt very OOC compared to what I'd just read. A lot of what Frank writes feels edgy for edgys sake and I don't like a lot of his works for that reason. I would have given his series a 2.5 or 3 stars.
I would like to read more Daredevil though, especially the older ones. Just maybe not Frank Millers.

El primer cómic de Marvel que leo y ahora quiero más. Daredevil lo conocí a través de la serie y por la recomendación de mi novio. La serie me fascinó y amé a este superhéroe de traje rojo, y no dudé en traerme el cómic de la casa de mi novio para leerlo y disfrutar de Daredevil de otra manera.
Spiderman siempre fue mi superhéroe favorito pero luego cae Matt Murdock con esta doble identidad y con su moral que me deslumbró. Daredevil escaló muy alto y, realmente, se convirtió en un superhéroe querido y apreciado en mi corazón.

Starší sešit "Daredevilův původ" byl až překvapivě dobrý, na to, že jde o retro. Sice trošku moc ukecaný, ale rozhodně ne nudný. Daredevil měl origin, který by mu jiní superhrdinové mohli závidět. Hlavním tahounem je ale Millerův "Muž beze strachu" a ten je prostě úžasný. Skvěle napsaný i nakreslený příběh s úžasně vyšinutou vražedkyní Elektrou ve vedlejší roli patří mezi ty, na které po přečtení tak lehce nezapomenete. Místy mi sice přišlo, že je Matt Murdock oproti Elektře až příliš nevýraznou postavou, ale ono je to asi dobře - právě proto je jejich vztah tak zajímavý. Bavilo mě to. Určitě jde o jeden z nejlepších komiksů, které v rámci Nejmocnějších hrdinů Marvelu vyšly a asi i jeden z nejlepších v mé knihovničce. Ráda si ho někdy znovu přečtu a nezabrání mi v tom ani to, že mi Romitova Elektra vzhledově připomína zlou čarodějnici... :D

I'm not really going to review this as such since I am biased as I DD is one of my all time faves especially after Frank Miller got hold of the reins.
This gives you the origin back when he was in the rather campy outfit and the great man without fear saga. Just dark, awesome and down to earth. Daredevil is a character that you can relate to. The want to save and bring justice to the city and world you live in but knowing you not often have that chance. Or to do so may end up leaving more blood on your hands.

I really enjoyed reading this, especially since this is the first Daredevil comic i've read. I think the 2 vision of att murdock's origin story are very interesting and shows well the change in comic book from the 60s to the 90s.
As always a real pleasure to read, and I recommend it to anyone looking to start reading Daredevil's comic. After all, it's always best to start with the beginning!
The art is really pretty and the writing is great, so overall I think it deserves the 5 stars, but that's just my opinion.

Daredevil is boring. The artwork wasn't magnificent, especially Elektra. The story was rehashed twice: once in the first appearance comic and then in Frank Miller's. Nothing new or exciting.
Won't be running out to learn more about him. Flawed hero or not, he's dull. I didn't think anything could be more dull than Hawkeye.
Shame really.
