Awesome stuff. I like Matt's backstory and character development.

Not as good as the first one, but still great!

[Aritra Dasgupta · Rating 2 out of 5]

Slows down, introduces Elektra, whets the appetite, ends on a weak cliffhanger.

[Pilipma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect introduction to Matt's dark side and Electra character. One of those rare cases less is more and just with two encounters and with under a dozen words exchanged two people show a beautiful dynamic.

Found a copy of this in my basement. I must have read it as a kid but didn't remember. It's quite good. I have been meaning to read this Miller run for a long time and this random issue was a good reminder to get on that.

Some more training, and I was caught off guard by what happens at the end.

Primeros pasos de Matt como vigilante. Primero como vengador de la muerte de su padre, ya en la universidad como defensor de un amigo acosado por bullies. Y la aparición de Elektra.

Legendary stuff, absolutely amazing read and perfect visuals. Perfect introductory read for Daredevil. Highly recommended! Must read!

not exceptional, but i enjoyed the slower pacing

Matt’s powers are on full display here. He battles with the death of Jack, and tries to balance how to utilize his powers. Meanwhile we are introduced to Foggy Nelson and Elektra.

[Taran Suri · Rating 2 out of 5]

Slows down way too much and feels just overextended, this one was weak.

4.5/5

The second issue of Frank Miller's reimagining of Daredevil's origin story picks up right where issue #1 left off. This issue begins with an extended, and quite brutal, sequence where Matt is hunting down a group of mobsters. This rampage, and an ensuing incident that deeply affects Matt, helps build his character for the ensuing issues. In this issue we are also introduced to Elektra who I have mixed feelings about. Her character is expanded significantly in issue #3 but in this issue she doesn't have many lines and she is rather, for lack of a better term, spontaneous to the point where it got a little annoying; it isn't a real spoiler but Matt gets pulled over by the police after following Elektra across the rooftops and she leaves a trail of her clothing for him to find but before we see any nudity he's pulled aside by some cops and Elektra puts her clothes on. Why does she do this? There's no reason given in issue #2 or #3 but I grew to like her a bit more as I read the next issue.
John Romita Jr.'s artwork is fantastic again, particularly during Matt's rampage where the violence is brutal and reminds me a lot of Dave Gibbons brutal depictions of violence in Watchmen, which is never a bad thing. An excellent addition to The Man Without Fear's storyline.

Matt Murdock exacts revenge on the thugs who killed his dad but in doing so a innocent is killed and Matts outlook on justice changes.Volume 2 is every bit as intense and awesome as vol 1.
