Daredevil: The Man Without Fear TPB (Daredevil (Unnumbered))

Product Information

Certainly the various origins of Spider-Woman that have been presented are much more contradictory and every effort has been made to ensure that they are all incorporated into the universe. Jack Murdock, Stick, Foggy Nelson, Elektra, Kingpin - it’s like Miller’s going through a checklist of the usual suspects, so, if you’ve read the Daredevil origin a few times by now like me, there’s not much here that’ll hold your attention. While this artist is notorious for drawing crappy looking, blocky faces, he's got a good eye for iconic images.

Which makes sense as he's both on top of that totem pole and the one most ruthless enuff to see things thru.Secondly, it turns Matt into a hypocrite for becoming a lawyer while refusing to submit himself to the judgement of the law for this woman's death. This story can't fit in continuity because of the death of Jack Murdock: in every other telling of the origin of Daredevil and the childhood of Matt, it'always shown that his father is killer after Matt started the college, and he knows Foggy Nelson. And I am not saying I dislike it in a hipster way, "Frank Miller's Daredevil is too popular so I dislike it". Then the Elektra storyline was both boring and silly and her character is so over the top it's moronic.

In other books, including Miller's own work in the main DD series, at this point she was depicted as innocent and not necessarily a master martial artist.He was raised by a single father, an over-the-hill prizefighter with one last chance to make it good - a chance that cost him his life. not only kicked off the series of Batman films based on his redefinition, but a craze for such material that has thrown dozens of such heroes into multiple film franchise heaven. That was the apotheosis of his quirks and pet peeve tropes, and after that he's been nothing but an increasingly sad parody of his former self. Also, there is some language in this comic, although it is not anything worse than what I usually see in some Vertigo comics.
