Summary: Decent but VERY overrated
Review: The major problem with quality writing in comics is simply the format itself. It is a serial, and the object is to keep the buyer an addict instead of having a beginning and an ending. That said, Kevin Smith has the clout to make the most major changes and revisions to this character since Frank Miller. Unfortunately, he does this by blatantly imitating the Miller 86 "Born Again" story of ruining DD's life with the murder of his lover by Bullseye from Millers earlier "Elektra" storyline. Addding in Catholicism and a cheesy Spider Man villain. The fact that this is highly derivitive doesn't make it terrible, esp. concerning the medium, but is a not essential except to Smith's fanbase or completists. Read the Frank Miller paperback reprints of "Visionaries 2" or "Born Again" for the better originals.P.S. Karen Page deserved better than this send-off

Summary: The story begins strong but the ending is terribly stupid
Review: This graphic novel is quite interesting. One interesting fact is that there is an intro written by Ben Affleck, who turned out to play the Man Without Fear on the big screen (lucky guy). The graphics are pretty cool and some special appearances from Mephysto, Dr. Strange, Spiderman, and the Black Widow make it more appealing. But unfortunately the plot leaves some unexplained and inconsistent things behind (specially regarding the knowledge of the villain about other heroes), and the villain turns out to be one of the weakest and most idiotic characters in comic books - Mysterio. He takes 2 stars away from the initial 5 stars this book could have earned.

Summary: First-Rate Storytelling and Artwork
Review: This is obviously the best Daredevil storyline since Frank Miller's now-classic Born Again epic way back when. The way Kevin Smith brings out the emotional, religious, and often turbulent side of Daredevil's world is truly astounding considering the fact that this is probably his first take on a comic book hero, period. I'm not going to give away too much of the story without spoiling it, but I do want to say that Smith does one hell of a job giving some kind of credibility to what I think is one of Marvel Comics' lamest villains, lol! THAT alone moved me to give this collection five stars along with the superb artwork of top-notch team Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, who are at their best at complimenting the writer's vision with their highly refined style. Definitely buy this collection if you don't want to go through all the trouble picking up these issues individually.
