About the author
Ann Nocenti
735 books116 followersAnn Nocenti is most noted as an editor for Marvel Comics, for whom she edited New Mutants and The Uncanny X-Men. She made her comics writing debut on a brief run of Spider-Woman (#47-50) and subsequently wrote a long run of Daredevil (1st series) #236-291 (minus #237) from 1986 to 1991, directly following on from Frank Miller's definitive Born Again storyline. She also wrote the 1986 Longshot limited series for Marvel, and in the same year produced the Someplace Strange graphic novel in collaboration with artist John Bolton. She wrote "the Inhumans Graphic Novel" in 1988. In 1993, she wrote the 16-issue run of Kid Eternity for the DC Comics imprint Vertigo.
In Incredible Hulk #291, published in September 1983 (cover date January 1984), Ann Nocenti made a cameo appearance, talking to Dr. Bruce Banner, in a history written by Bill Mantlo, drawn by Sal Buscema and inked by Carlos Garzón and Joe Sinnot. That time Ann Nocenti was Assistant Editor for Larry Hama on Incredible Hulk and X-Men.
She is noted for her left-wing political views which, particularly during her run on Daredevil, caused some controversy among some fans who didn't agree with her politics.
She created several popular characters, including Typhoid Mary, Blackheart, Longshot and Mojo, and wrote the 1998 X-Men novel Prisoner X.
Although Nocenti left comic books in the '90s after the industry sales collapsed, she later returned to the field, penning stories such as 2004's Batman & Poison Ivy: Cast Shadows.
In Ultimate X-Men, a reimagination of the X-Men comic, the character Longshot, who was invented by her, has the civil name Arthur Centino. His last name, Centino, is an anagram of Nocenti and a homage to Nocenti. The name Arthur is for the co-creator of Longshot Arthur Adams who was Ann Nocenti's artist on the Longshot Mini Series.
She edited High Times magazine for one year (2004) under the name Annie Nocenti and is the former editor of the screenwriting magazine Scenario.

Meh. Neither Romita Jr's art nor the story stands up well to the passage of time. Collecting Daredevil issues 265-273, this underwhelming run has Matt on the move from Hell's Kitchen. Having lost everything in a fire, DD takes his show on the road. From run-ins with Mephisto to the Blob and some guy named Shotgun, it's a series of below average stories backed with below average art. I truly despise Romita Jr's Mephisto. It's awful. This one didn't do it for me.

Terribile... e dire che il volume precedente della Nocenti mi era piaciuto. Sarà perché i disegni di Romita Jr mi hanno sempre fatto schifo o perché ho letto da poco la bellissima run di Waid? Oh Good Grief...

En este tebeo está el inicio del mejor Daredevil de Nocenti. La salida de Nueva York después de Infierno que convierten al personaje en un ronin que colabora con una serie de personas mientras se encuentra con diversos superhéroes/supervillanos. Hay ideas bien tiradas y caracterizadas (el trauma de número nueve con su crianza), divertidas (Shotgun y su sátira de la pasión por los pistolones y la tecnología armamentística) y otras un poco superficiales (el tema de las granjas industriales). Pero donde realmente brilla el tebeo es en la colaboración entre John Romita Jr. y un Al Williamson estratosférico. Sus mejores páginas estaban todavía por venir (Los Inhumanos, Ultrón, Mefisto) aunque aquí ya sientan cátedra. A veces al primero se le nota que dibuja demasiadas páginas ese mes, pero después llega el pincel de Williamson y dota a sus trazos de una fuerza y una expresividad emocional desbordantes. Además, es espectacular lo que hace con los fondos; cómo integra sus elementos en una síntesis de líneas y manchas que enfatizan todo lo que hacen las figuras en primer plano.

Daredevil: Lone Stranger collects Daredevil issues 265-275, a memorable run by writer Ann Nocenti and artists John Romita Jr. and Al Williamson. I'm happy (and more than a little surprised) that these issues were collected like this. These were the first Daredevil issues I read when I started getting into comics, so they have a special place in my heart.
The story takes place during X-Men: Inferno, the X-Men crossover event that spilled over into most Marvel titles at the time. Daredevil was just coming off the events of the Daredevil Legends Vol. 4: Typhoid Mary storyline, so he's in pretty bad shape. Of course, the best Daredevil stories are inevitably the ones where he's at his lowest point, and this is no exception. We get to see a silent, brooding Daredevil whip the bejeezus out of a host of demons, drown his sorrows at a local bar, and then leave town completely, wandering from town to town, Kung Fu: The Complete Series Collection style. The highlight of this run is issue 269, where Daredevil faces down Blob and Pyro in a small town. It's probably one of the best single-issue Daredevil stories I've ever read.
Nocenti is one of the more underrated Daredevil scribes. Her run is never going to be ranked up there with Miller or Bendis, but I think she did a terrific job and brought a lot to the title and the character. It was unusual in an 80's era comic to focus so much on "background" characters, but it is precisely that attention to everyday citizens that makes this run so memorable. I was way more interested in the lady who ran the boarding house and the kids in Hell's Kitchen than I was when Spider-Man showed up to fight Blackheart.
The only problem, story-wise, is the lack of any concrete beginning or ending. Inferno is in full swing when the book starts, and it doesn't have a satisfying conclusion (or much of a conclusion at all).
As for the artwork, this is prime John Romita Jr., back before he was drawing everyone like squared-off Lego people. His dynamic pencils and Al Williamson's inks look even more amazing now that they've been restored for this collection. The color is also quite impressive, having been retouched for the higher quality paper used here.
Lone Stranger isn't going to appeal to everyone the way a Daredevil: Born Again would, but if you're a serious Daredevil fan, or a fan of 80's era Marvel Comics in general, it's well worth checking out.

Then start is a bit of a mind melt being a tie in to the inferno event which i haven't read but the rest of the collection is excellent as Daredevil does his wandering do gooder thing which i enjoyed and Ann Nocenti makes each story engaging. John Romita jr's art doesn't always work for all he titles he draws for , but is ideal for Daredevil.

Tras rescatar y redefinir por completo al personaje, Frank Miller dejó al Diablo Guardián de Hell´s Kitchen a la suerte de varios escritores que tratarían de mantener ese perfil más oscuro y atribulado de los argumentos que llevaron a este justiciero enmascarado a uno de los via crucis comiqueros más recordados de este arte con Born Again. Ann Nocenti estuvo encargada de tratar de hacer seguir adelante a Daredevil. Y en esta recopilación de entregas de su etapa llegamos a sentir una continuación total si vienes directamente de Born Again. Aunque se sabe (aunque sea por el prólogo informativo de Clemente) que han pasado unos cuantos números que llevaban a Nocenti a mostrar a otro personaje clave para la nueva idiosincrasia de Daredevil con María Tifoidea. Nos topamos con Matt Murdock desdichado por la ausencia de su amada Karen Page y parece ser que sin gabinete de abogacía ni techo bajo el que dormir... Pero, claro, esto palidece con la impensable situación de una Nueva York transformada por las diabólicas consecuencias de INFERNO, una saga mutante a la que la guionista debía rendir cuentas editoriales. Esto auspicia a otro encuentro infernal, directamente con el Diablo personal del Universo Marvel que hace arrancar esta "caótica" lectura en la que Matt Murdock termina vagabundeando fuera de su Hell´s Kitchen pero manteniéndose como representante de la justicia (ciega) allá por donde vaya. Así tenemos a parejas de hermanos extorsionadores que pueden redimirse si superan el juicio del Diablo Guardián, a retorcidos agentes del gobierno ex miembros de la Hermandad de Mutantes Diabólicos que buscan a mutantes no registrados justificando sus tropelías en nombre de "el tío Sam" o magnates de la industria cárnica más inhumana (sic.) que llevan sus delitos contra toda criatura viviente a unos despóticos y misóginos horizontes amparados por la ciencia más deleznable y la cartera abierta del gobierno...
Desde luego, Ann Nocenti buscaba seguir enfrentando a este particular héroe a desafíos constantes con sus férreos valores morales auspiciados por su formación católica. Desde los años ochenta, la autora relata injusticias aún imperantes en nuestro día a día como la vulneración de derechos fundamentales (humanos y de animales), luchas sociales como el feminismo y la ecología, la cultura de las armas de USA y permitirse afrontar el MAL mayúsculo con encarnaciones de los círculos infernales más blasfemos de Marvel, para lo que el personaje que se reconoce como "Diablo Guardián", se presta a poder encararse con más teología que superpoderes o artes místicas como otros compañeros de profesión.
Es cierto que la lectura aislada deja totalmente esa citada sensación caótica de los argumentos y zozobra del personaje. Y el arte de John Romita Jr., si bien efectivo para la época. No eleva tanto como podría la narración de Nocenti.

I feel like the Ann Nocenti run is severely underrated, or at least under-discussed. She wrote dozens of issues of Daredevil but she's always left out of the Miller-Bendis-Brubaker tier rankings. Personally, I was excited to read this TPB because Nocenti's absence from the DD discourse feels indicative of the "Boy's Club" status of the comic industry. So few women ever break into comics and it's important to celebrate the ones that do.
This volume is a little scatterbrained. Feels like a random core sample of Nocenti and John Romita Jr.'s work. I understand the previous arc (the introduction of Typhoid Mary!) was pretty heavy so these issues have DD taking a breather and hitting the road. There's some X-Men stuff because Nocenti was editing the X-books at the time, and some Inhumans stuff because they were a pet project of hers. JRJR takes a crack at drawing Spidey and he looks a lot like his dear ol' dad's design. The character of Brandy raises questions about who has the privilege to fight the system and what means are truly necessary. Nocenti tackles animal cruelty, feminism, and the hypocrisy of being a Catholic crimefighting lawyer. And the next arc has DD fight Ultron. Excited to read more of this! 4/5

Ann Nocenti - John Romita Jr. is one of my favorite Daredevil teams. On this collection they achieve moments of greatness, but the collection lacks the emotional impact of their previous run , collected in Daredevil Legends, Vol. 4: Typhoid Mary, which I do recommend if you're a friend of Daredevil.

This volume, collecting issues #265-273 of the original DD series (thereby essentially directly following the Daredevil: Typhoid Mary collection), is a slightly weird beast. On the one hand, it is absolutely wondrous that Marvel decided to continue a bit further in collecting Ann Nocenti and Romita Jr's joint DD run (it is to my mind quite baffling why this run, and more of Nocenti's full run, is not a already to be found in TPBs), but on the other, it is a very loose story arc that does not seem quite finished, at the end of the book. Thus, while a really good read, it simultaneously merely underlines the need for further volumes of Nocenti's material, both with and without Romita Jr.
In terms of storytelling, Nocenti, more than any other DD writer I have encountered, takes the character into places we are not really that used to seeing him in. Mephisto is an important villain here (mostly in the background, and building towards a later, excellent part of the Nocenti/Rimta Jr run), bringing a metaphysical dimension to the essentially street level character. This is also highlighted by the incomplete subplot involving the Inhumans (characters I would not normally associate with DD). And it all works really well. And I do want more.
In terms of art, Romita Jr is one of the definitive DD artists out there and second to none (i.e. he's right up there with Colan and Miller), and this particular phase in his art (basically up to and including his Man of Fear collaboration with Miller) is to my mind his best one. I love it.
The only real minus here, which has me sort of oscillating between three and four stars (you'll notice that I've opted for four), is that good as the material is, and much as I like it, the collection is an odd one. Do not misunderstand me, a collection of chronological material always carries a certain inherent logic to be sure, but the lack of a strong arc and the many unresolved subplot threads do become a bit bugging, especially since there is no follow-up collection in the wings, as far as I know.
In short, the material is well worth a read, but for the love of Dog, Marvel, give us the full run!

Frank Miller taught us that Daredevil is at his most interesting when his life is shitty, and I'm glad that Ann Nocenti continued in that tradition with Lone Stranger--but with the added twist of removing the devil from Hell's Kitchen.
This collection follows a distraught Daredevil through the New England countryside as he tries to figure out just what the hell he's going to do after the events of the Typhoid Mary storyline. A lot of the issues are just single-shot stories, which I found surprisingly enjoyable. (Normally when a collection includes a few random comics that have no bearing on an overall plot, I'm not too interested--but that definitely wasn't the case here.) At one point, Daredevil runs into Pyro and Blob from the X-men books. At another point, we see the first appearance of Blackheart, which was awesome. (And could have been even more awesome if Nocenti had let him go on a journey of self-discovery, instead of having Mephisto hand him an instruction manual. But whatever.)
All in all, this was a great collection for anyone who likes to watch poor Matt Murdock suffer through his shitty, shitty life.

Sigo adelante con la etapa de Nocenti y esta vez toca una bajada considerable de calidad con respecto al anterior tomo de María Tifoidea. No solo porque Daredevil se marche a encontrarse a si mismo, tras haber quedado destruido por Tifoidea, sin Karen y con Nueva York recuperándose a duras penas de un evento mutante que ha afectado a la colección de Daredevil.
Sino también y sobretodo porque aqui Nocenti se pasa de vueltas con el rollo animalista. En el viaje de Daredevil, se vera envuelto en asuntos turbios, maltrato industrial animal y experimentos genéticos, pero que no dicen gran cosa, mas cuando en el propio tomo vemos que se va gestando un segundo gran arco argumental con lo inhumanos y el hijo desaparecido de Rayo Negro y Medusa.
La sensación que queda es de interludio, de breve descanso entre grandes historias, pero es una sensación negativo por el provecho que podría haberse sacado de la situación personal del cuernecitos. Mas introspección y menos pollos enjaulados, por decirlo a lo bruto. Bien sin mas, pero viniendo de un tomo tan bueno como el anterior, sabe a poco.

If I'm being honest I grew up not caring about superheroes-I'm not into crime stories and it's hard for me to be really invested too hard in whether the bad guy gets a giant diamond or not, when the bad guy isn't a lazy xenophobic caricature. I watched all the shows and movies everyone else grew up with and I enjoyed them and I'd watch them again but I never had a lot of motivation to immerse myself in the world. What I'm saying is that I was predisposed to not get into this. What worked for me, besides that Ann Nocenti can write some weird as hell dialog, is that she really made the city come alive, all the little background characters have so much character (with the exception of Daredevil himself weirdly enough who seems to be the only one in this book with no personality I dunno if that's the norm or just how she writes him.) This volume takes him out of New York City and that takes away from it a little, but there's still some good stuff here.
(Also weird choice of whoever put these books together to split the Inferno event comics between two paperbacks.)

I have no idea how to rate this.
Nocenti's run is schizophrenic - she introduces great characters, great Big Ideas, tries to move Daredevil to places where he hasn't been before. And then none of that goes anywhere; there is no pay-off, no real resolution, everything just ends. So on one hand I really liked her run for all the ideas that are thrown at us, and yes, even for the Big Messages that the characters are constantly proclaiming; but on the other hand, I am disappointed that it's not really all that coherent.
In the later part of her run (which is collected here), we see ... stuff that happens.
Inhumans happen. Literall hell happens. Ultron happens. Artificial life happens. Animal rights happen. Some other stuff happen, and then it ends, with no real pay-off or change to status quo. All right. Not terrible, not really worth recommending either.
I will also add that I am not really a fan of JRJR art, but here, it's OK. But just OK.

Nocenti had the unenviable task of following Frank Miller on DAREDEVIL but rather than rehash or copy she pushed the book into way more interesting territory; heck, she even provides the most gonzo tie-in to a company-wide crossover ever.
In this volume, she explores topics still relevant twenty years later: the emotional toll of work, homelessness, nuclear fear, drug crime, legislation limiting individual civil liberties, and genetically modified food. This is not the first comic to do this, but it is certainly a rarity. Nocenti is deft enough to go there, all without levying judgment and with adding a superhero twist. Romita, Jr. on art is icing on the cake.

No me vengan con Miller, Bendis o Brubaker (que ni recuerdo si leí). Hasta ahora, la mejor historia que haya leído jamás de Daredevil es completa responsabilidad de Ann Nocenti haciendo unos guiones en los que se la agarra con todos (y en la mayoría de los casos, con muy buenos motivos) y un JRJR que jamás dibujó -ni volvería a dibujar- tan pero tan bien. Puntos extra por el capítulo en el que Daredevil no dice una palabra y aquel en el que aparece por primera vez BlackHeart (en un simpático team-up con Spiderman), que parecía un personaje temible y todo. Lástima que no todo el Daredevil de Nocenti se recopiló en libro. El día que se decidan a hacerlo, seguro rompa el chanchito.

Nunca he sido un lector asiduo de los comics de Daredevil, pero en los pocos comics que he leído de él me ha parecido un personaje muy interesante, sin embargo, este volumen me ha resultado bastante insulso.
Los números que lo componen son una sucesión de aventurillas sin mucho sentido que se justifican porque nuestro héroe decide darse un paseo por la campiña y dejar su adorado Hell's Kitchen. Los guiones en mi opinión son bastante normalitos y al volumen lo salva realmente el dibujo de Romita.
Una lástima pero creo que no es uno de los volúmenes más recomendables de este héroe.

If you want a collection of Marvel comics that define just how bad they could be in the late '80s and early '90s. Nocenti can't write. John Romita Jr. is trying to copy Frank Miller's style... and the stories are belabored and boring. Not only that, but a few stories at the beginning are tie-ins to the horrible X-crossover of the week that was happening back then. Bad... just plain bad.

Needed to bone up on some DD lore for the new TV series and wasn't disappointed here. Really liked the Mephisto underpinnings and Inhumans tie-ins, as well as the tackling of social issues that need voiced.

Does it make me a bad person if John Romita Jr.'s art didn't do anything for me?
