I've been a comic book fan since the 1970s, and have loved DC and Marvel characters. I'm much more of a DC Comics character fan than a Marvel fan, but I've always liked the blind superhero Daredevil (well, he has "radar senses and heightened other senses). Back in the 1970s and 80s I enjoyed reading his exploits, but after that, they became to dark and depressing. Recently writer Mark Waid took over the writing, and the character is again interesting and a lighter tone, despite fighting villains in New York's crime-ridden "Hell's Kitchen" neighborhood.
In the first trade paperback of the Waid series "Daredevil, Vol. 1 Paperback – August 8, 2012"
- issues #1-6 are covered. The stories are great and the artwork is, too. Really enjoyable, and one I will keep and read again and again.
I was inspired to give Daredevil a re-try after enjoying the (now sadly canceled) Netflix series that starred Charlie Cox. I'm glad I did. Mark Waid's writing has resurrected the character for me. This is worth getting!

ABOUT THE PAPERBACK: With new enemies, new friends and that same old "grinnin' in the face of hell" attitude, the Man Without Fear is back in action and leading with his face! Mark Waid (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Irredeemable, RUSE) joins neo-legendary artists Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin for a new spin on Daredevil that will leave you gasping for air. Having turned his world upside down during the past several years, Matt Murdock realizes justice may not be blind to his past and villains may not be the only ones looking for answers. Bring it on! If Matt Murdock could see what he was doing, he'd be terrified.
COLLECTING: DAREDEVIL 1-6
