I liked Father! Woo! I thought it was super fun the way Quesada drew Matt regular sized, but Daredevil was friggin' HUGE.

Oh, and for all the old-school Frank Miller babies out there, it's time to move on people! I read the Bendis/Maleev run at the same time as I read all of Frank Miller's stuff and I found the old books (Born Again included) beyond boring. Each issue, with it's boring art and absurd dialogue was like pulling teeth to finish. Honestly, if we're talking waste of money here, I'd have to put the Daredevil Omnibus up there with one of my worst purchases ever.

In short, it's just too Eighties. Maybe it rocked nuts when it was new, but for someone reading old and new storylines side by side, it just doesn't hold up for new readers who like their art and story to be not-crappy. And trust me old timers, it doesn't. You can disagree if you want to, but I assure you that you'll be wrong.

Wow. I am really surprised to hear so much hate towards DD: Yellow from DD fans on here. I don't think it's the best Daredevil story I've ever read, it was a bit over-rated that is for sure, but it was enjoyable to me. It is a tip-of-the-hat to the silver age light hearted DD stories and to his early relationship with Karen. I think it's supposed to be nostalgic and sentimental.

I don't know, I love the Frank Miller-esque grim and gritty DD as much as anybody but it is nice to have something like this which is more light hearted and fun.

That's actually a good point.

Geez, if Miller fans are regarded as "old timers", what the heck do you call Colan fans (like me)? "Mould Timers"?

Oh snap, you assured me that I'd be wrong?

Man, why don't you save us the reading and just write "look at meeeeeee! look at meeeeeee!".

Maybe you should read Miller's Omnibus Companion and the Elektra Omnibus and come back when you know what you're talking about.

Although, I agree that most 80s comics suck. Clairemont's X-men? Not nearly enough Wolverine. Watchmen? Whatever. Dark Knight Returns? BORING! I want comics where the artist draws characters big or small in accordance with what's trying to be conveyed (oh, what? Miller was doing that in the 80s? WHATEVER!).

PS I'll buy your Miller Omnibus off you.

Jim, no one is really hating Yellow, I just said that I personally think it to be overrated.

Ian, can you post something without being a complete moron? I'm totally okay if you like something I don't, but you don't have the right to be insulting towards the others or to bore the hell out of everyone with your disruptive posting.

I don't think this is the BEST DD story ever, but I have to say that I kind of enjoyed it. I think that Loeb did a nice job of shifting around the emphasis and giving us a new look at an old story. It definitely is worth buying.
