Daredevil is one of the most tragically underrated super heroes of all time. There have been three truly great daredevil writers that make the hero worth caring about. Frank Miller, Brian Michael Bendis and my personal favorite who wrote this Mark Waid. Issue 26 single handedly hot me not only into daredevil but back into reading comics as a whole. It's marvelous. It's easily the best comic marvel is currently putting out. Did I mention I love it?

I love this series so much. Waid's writing had me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out who dunnit - it was hard to put down! Samnee's art seems simple at first, but study the action panels, and you'll see why he won an Eisner award for this work. I'm pumped to read the next few volumes!

This story gets crazier and better with every volume

This story gets crazier and better with every volume. I love the way they are pulling in all aspects of Daredevils history and different aspects of the Marvel universe to tell his story.

Punching back

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2014

Down to his last twenty bucks, Matt Murdock goes to make amends with his former partner and best friend, Foggy Nelson, only to discover… Foggy has cancer. And I thought Mark Waid’s version was supposed to be the upbeat Daredevil!

Besides the crossover with Superior Spider-Man (which was pretty bland), the book follows a mysterious assailant’s plan to destroy The Man Without Fear as he attempts to spawn dozens of Daredevils by recreating Matt’s childhood accident. Who is the man with the plan? Who is Ikari? And why does Stilt-Man keep committing crimes in New York City, the most heavily superhero-populated city in the Marvel Universe?!

I’m not a huge fan of Daredevil nor have I been the biggest cheerleader for this acclaimed series but it’s had its moments, and this book is arguably the best. It’s also the conclusion of an arc that’s apparently been running since the first volume – I say “apparently” because I had no strong impression of an arc threading through these five volumes!

Nonetheless, Waid does his best to make the connections between the multiple books and almost pulls it off – until he reveals the mastermind behind it all. Really – that guy? Would that guy have been able to pull it off? And no, I’m not talking about Stilt-Man, though I do like that he’s become a running gag in this series.

However, Waid does successfully create a tense atmosphere of paranoia as Matt realises the villain’s agents are everywhere and we see him slowly losing his composure. That scene when a replacement solicitor shows up at the office for an interview with Matt was a masterstroke of bait and switches, especially with that incredible final panel! I’m surprised the attempts to re-create Matt’s accident proved so fruitful though – apparently there IS a formula for creating multiple Daredevils if you want to! Kind of makes him less than unique though…

But it’s Foggy who’s the standout character of this book. I love how Matt’s there for his pal as he goes through chemo but Foggy’s there for Matt too in figuring out the villain’s identity and telling his buddy what he needed to hear when he needed to hear it. And the coda to the book, a short story starring Foggy called Punching Cancer… man, what a tearjerker! Foggy goes to the children’s cancer ward to tell them stories of the superheroes he’s met over the years and gets upstaged by Iron Man who drops by to buck up the kids’ spirits. I won’t say anything more but it was a beautiful comic.

And a large part of its beauty comes from Chris Samnee’s outstanding art. It’s almost redundant to praise the art in this series as Marcos Martin, Mike Allred and Chris Samnee’s art is never anything less than stellar, and everyone has mentioned how gorgeous the book looks, but, one more time (all together now!), the art is AMAZING!! I may not love all of Waid’s scripts but I’ve enjoyed the artwork in every single book in this run.

Daredevil Volume 5 is one of the highlights in Waid’s run – don’t miss it!

Lots of things tied up in this one

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019

This is the fifth volume of Waid's turn on Daredevil, and I think his best TPB 'til now. In it the storyline of who's screwing with Daredevil gets resolved and in a very awesome way.

In retrospect, thinking of everything that happened in some of the previous TPBs, who was behind it did make perfect sense. Hindsight is always 20/20 in comics.

I also liked how much Foggy/Matt stuff there was in this TPB (not to mention the Foggy/kids stuff). Waid does the relationships and all their craziness so well. Even if the twist that was given to Foggy was depressing.

Overall it was a great TPB, although I didn't totally love the art.
