The fight with Spot was intense! I love Matt with the hot dog vendor. "Whoops." |

I think Waid's use of the radar is the best I've ever seen. I loved the inventive ways he played with what Matt could do with his heightened senses, too.

Oh, I didn't realise those were available. Are they sold online anywhere? It's a fantastic cover.

Exactly what it sounds like.
It's just a completely blank, white cover image (but still with the DD logo etc.) |

So, I am the only one for now who did not like it.
Come on, how long did they have to get this issue ?
Look at DD face ! I don't say it's ugly or wathever. But I really don't like this kind of art.
What about the story ? Well, no trace of the ShadowLand consequences. No one rushing on him about the prisoneers he made.
As for his return, no grace, no wit. He just jump into troubles like a newby. Come on, Avengers let's go kick the Spot's butt !!
LAME !
I've waited long to enjoy DD again. But nothing good since Maleev and Bendis run. |

This seems like the way its meant to be eh? Under current of gritty, covered by a layer of swashbuckling superhero awesomeness!
'The Mast' - I thought he kissed the mob bride to give the Spot a chance to try to blindside him (which of course can't be done!)? Baiting him in to get a grip on him? Did no one else see it that way?
Cassecou - did you read DD before Bendis? Did you maybe not realise he was a superhero? _________________ when walking just walk, when sitting just sit, above all don't wobble. |

It felt so good to read an issue of Daredevil that had a brighter tone, and where Matt actually got to smile from time to time. I wasn't for restarting Daredevil at #1, but it really does feel like a much needed new beginning. Big props to Waid, Rivera and Martin for pumping new life into my favourite character. |

Daredevil #1 is an excellent issue. I like where Mark is taking both Matt, and Daredevil. And the art is beautiful. And yes, Matt kissing the mob boss's wife is one of the best moments of this issue. Mark's writing is excellent. He's one of the best in the industry right now. Can't wait for Daredevil #2. _________________ I am the Man Without Fear. |

- Man_without_fear : "Matt kissing the mob boss's wife is one of the best moments of this issue." Same for me.
- Dimetre : like you, I enjoy the brighter tone.
- Gee : I'm 38yo. Reading DD since I was 8. I live in France where it was hard to get imported comics thus I own around 700 issues.
My fav DD period is mazzuccheli's.
Fav heroes/series : Daredevil, Batman, Grendel, Death, Preacher, Sandman, Shade the changing man, Hellblazer, Sin city, Team 7 & old x-men stories.
Gee, if you have series to recommand, I'm always curious. |

i won't go on and on about what i liked but to keep it simple and short i thought this was refreshing. For years i was in love with the alternative colours and shades used in Maleevs art (still is my favourite DD artist) and truth be told i was uncomfortable with the drastic change but it works for this and i must admit when I'm at fault i was wrong. The brilliant writing in here is that it's all once again, one big tragedy setup by Waid and Wacker and i can't wait to see how Matt's going to fall and recover. As much as i miss the idea of Matt becoming a villain after Shadowland i think it will be "interesting" to see this cheerfully glib and ignoring Matt go back to suffering another nervous breakdown. Is that wrong? Naw, like any good Shakespearean story, i enjoy tragedy for what it is from time to time and what it means to society but what i enjoy even more is the stories of a man who may fall but never gives up. The inspiring stuff that Matt Murdock provides. Anyways i'm getting corny, without fear i knew this would be a great run as i smiled through reading my favourite hero in this latest read. A+ work to the DD Team and i look forward to what they have to offer in the future. |

Hey Darediva, did you catch the shout out?
Impressed,

Yes, actually had it spoiled on Twitter! I can't believe that I got a shoutout and a letter to the editor in a #1.
That was just the epitome of cool for me.
Oh, yeah...the art, the writing, the color...all superb. I'm a very happy camper.
Just try to wipe this smile off my face. _________________ Alice

Darediva, that's so cool that you're letter was published in the letters page. Your letter was both inspiring and touching. Just like Daredevil himself. Great stuff. _________________ I am the Man Without Fear. |

I think it was cool that the name "Darediva" got mentioned in the comic itself. |

Finally got a copy of DD#1 today, and want to know the most fun part? I got to ask 3 young men (guessing they were around 10-11) if they knew DD was relaunching. They did. I asked if they wanted to see something really cool about it, and showed them the letter in the back, and my name there, then pointed to my t-shirt with our Team Darediva Foundation Fighting Blindness logo on it.
All three: WOAH!
Me: Big grin. _________________ Alice

I may just be showing my age and my preferences, and mean no disrespect to all those who liked this issue. As a reminder, this is feels like another version of the Karl Kesel/Cary Nord run (http://daredevil.omegacen.com/DaredevilKesel.html), another attempt to clean up the darkness, though I frankly liked Nord's art better. This bright cartoon style just isn't DD for me.. not even close. It's not just the simplicity...Mazuchelli and Romita,Jr. were both on the simple side, but always retained the pulp darkness. Similarly, Nocenti and (to my mind, unfairly maligned) Chichester had sci fi and fantasy super hero elements that I would be happy to see more of, but not like this. Bendis was brilliant, and Brubaker was a solid follow-up before the travesty of Shadowland (proof that darkness can also be marketed to younger readers). I'll keep taking a look to maybe see him win a few fights for a change, but I'm just not the market for this. |
