“The costume is probably a good idea. Sewed it myself. God only knows what it looks like.”

Me encanto Conocer los orígenes de este increíble personaje de Marvel.

[Aritra Dasgupta · Rating 3 out of 5]

One thing that has consistently amazed me here is the economy of words and how Frank Miller is able to express emotions, action and forward the plot significantly in just 2-3 pages. Also the KUNK KREECH SPLUNK action sounds are iconically outdated and so is Daredevil wearing his underwear outside. This was an excellent starting point of the daredevil reboot and everything here is iconic.

Miller'dan daha farklı birşeyler bekliyordum galiba :(( Yine de daha azına elim gitmedi...

The origin story of Daredevil is a comic book with the title The Man Without Fear and on which two giants of the medium have worked: Frank Miller for the writing and John Romita Jr. for the illustrations. A Frankenstein monster of legends in which we observe the initial stages of the Hell’s Kitchen superhero from the moment he loses his sight, to the training he sustained for amplifying his unnatural abilities, passing by iconic villains and future lovers. In this way we have a general observation on the whole world of the Red without focusing with attention on nothing else if not an hideous, masked group of mobsters, from which we discover the motivation which brought Matt Murdock to dress up with the vigilante role. So Matt, during his solitary life, will discover his best friend Foggy, helping him with bullies, the mysterious Elektra, which seems connected with the same master who gave the notions to Daredevil, the forever nemesis Kingpin, and even his spirit of helping others and returning home to protect his neighbourhood. The superficiality of the development of the cases presented is used to give more space to the evolution of the man over the mask, while however I would have liked a bit more attention on his law studies, for presenting iconic initial tests as the famous black bandana of the first years, or for depicting a kid called to responsibility because his life is invested with death, the one of the people he loves or the one which blocks his way to the salvation of someone, in the classical fight between faith and blasphemy of the character. The drawings are immaculate, with a strong classical superhero style elevating the cinetic and giving personality to the stills on the faces of the figures involved, and also working on the details of the background for characterising the modification of the zones in which Murdock starts to operate. All of this for an entry point of a stellar quality, lacking only a bit of in-depth exploration!

FINAL VERDICT: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[Mikey Baker · Rating 5 out of 5]

this has such a great ending. i’ve always wondered how matt, when he makes a suit himself, thinks of how his suit looks.

this is a great introduction to the hero of Daredevil, and closes a perfect origin story for him. It makes the reader want to see more of his relationship with Stick, Foggy, Mickey, and even Kingpin.

[Saber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good end to Matt’s origin story, but I’m still a little disappointed that he hasn’t had an encounter with Kinglin at all.

Not sure what I’m supposed to read after this, since this is the last issue in this series. Hopefully there’s more to this story though, I’d hate to have it end like this.

And... there's the classic Frank Miller repetition.

Cool action, though.

Pure cinema

I’m surprised I enjoyed this comic run. Daredevil is an interesting character and I’ll probably be watching Born Again soon.

As I said in my review of Volume 1, I absolutely love Frank Millers work and loved this volume. Love this story and hope to have all of it one day.

The ending page on this was really amazing, in every sense of the word.

Bravo guys.

In this one Daredevil single handedly brings down the Kingpins empire which begins the war between the two for years to come.
