Summary: Loeb & Sale Do it Again!!
Review: Sweet mercy! Nothing can stop the creative team of Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale! Every book they've ever done is nothing short of a hit. Few writers in the comics business manage to make the characters sound as authentic as Jeph Loeb can. As always, the characters' dialogue was well-written and thoughtful but still sounded realistic. And Tim Sale's cartoony/realistic hybrid style of art was just gorgeous, helped here by the colorist, Hollingsworth.

The framing sequence of each of the 6 chapters is Matt (Daredevil) Murdock writing letters to Karen Page as he re-examines his past. We see the beginnings of his tenure as the costumed hero Daredevil, back when he wore the Yellow costume. There's such a great human tone to the whole story. We, the readers, can justify and rationalize doing what Murdock does. We can easily believe that losing your father to a two-bit con-man may make a strong, trained man don a costume, even if this man is blind.

The few guest-stars in this book (including the Fantastic Four, Electro, and the Owl,) seem well placed and not shoe-horned in.

I've said it several times before. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale could very easily write a mini-series about a head of cabbage and I'd buy it and enjoy it. I recommend this book without any reservations. You won't be sorry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great story
Review: The story here is very impressive. It isn't so much a superhero story but rather a story of a love lost. The entire story is a flashback, and while the artwork, in my opinion would suck outside this story, fits the atmosphere of the story quite well.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: a good retelling of DD's early years.
Review: This book follows Daredevil through his father's death and his relationship with Karen Page. It handles itself well, but is only mildly intertaining. The stories move along too fast and its ripe with plot holes. Most of it revolves around Karen and Matt. Which isn't very inthralling. Pick up the book if you really like Daredevil, otherwise buy something else.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book full of emotion
Review: This book was good. If you've read Essential Daredevil, you see that Matt Murdock is in love with Karen Page. But you only saw it...u didnt feel it. This book truly captured all the emotion. You see Foggy's heartbreak. Truly will make a lump in your throat. This was my first Loeb/Sale book. I'm sure Spidey Blue is great too. All in all..this book is great and really gives you their feelings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Daredevil ; Yellow
Review: Well I've just got round to reading it and thoroughly enjoyed it . DD has probably been , over the years , my favourite solo Marvel character . From his launch , through the glorious Colan years , and then the revitalisation under McKenzie , Miller and laterly Smith and Bendis.

I think Frank Miller did the definitive origin of his version in the Man Without Fear book but for us old-timers this is the origin of the character we were first introduced to by Stan , Bill and Wally which would later lead us to the swashbuckling Romita and Colan version.

Going back and expanding on Stan's origin , and the artwork too , especially , turned back the clock to those days I'd cycle round looking for tha latest issues in the local newsagents.

I don't think there's too many heroes out there who have had two such great books written in recent years re-telling their origin as DD.

Summary: This is what got me hooked on Daredevil
Review: When I finished reading this graphic novel, the only thing I could think for several moments was "Wow." It was my first introduction to the character and I'm pretty much obsessed now. It covers how Matt came to be don the costume of Daredevil, from the death of his father to the change to the red costume we all know and love.
