Finally, yes, you read that right: five stars. I reserve those for the books I want to share and will most likely buy again to replace the copy I just gave away. There's a thirteen-year-old "Daredevil" (or is it Mark Waid?) fan in my house now. Time for me to get a new copy. Read Full Review

Daredevil #1 isn't just a solid start for the hero's new series; it's a powerful portent of greatness to come. Really fantastic, sincere stuff. All comics should be this good. Read Full Review

Truly, a comic for Daredevil fans. If you've ever been even remotely curious about DD but have never read one of his comics, now is the time. Read Full Review

Like Mom always said, "Patience hath virtue." Once again, it has paid off - here's hoping "my" version of DD sticks around for a good long while. Read Full Review

This is a fantastic start to what looks to be a great new series from Marvel. I don't mean to gush, but as I'm sure you've gathered, this issue blew me away. The writing and the art is phenomenal. I wish more comics could be like Daredevil #1, because this book was an absolute pleasure to read, and if it's any indication of what's to come, I'm definitely picking up every issue.

I've never been a big Daredevil fan, but I went into this book with an open mind and was definitely surprised by its quality. Hopefully Mark Waid has a long and productive run on this title: lord knows it could use it. Read Full Review

The regular edition cover by Paolo Rivera is absolutely stunning, not only for the telling pose in which he's put the main character but because the background is made up of sound effects, offering a lovely but also effective representation of what sets this character apart from other street-level heroes. The interior art is impressive as well. Rivera is clearly taking some cues from the style of Marcos Martin, who also contributes to the issue with the opening-page character recap but also to a backup story. Rivera's work on the opening action scene is fantastic. He captures Daredevil's fluid, acrobatic style perfectly, but I particularly appreciated how he conveys DD's radar sense as well. Also impressive is the flow that Martin brings to the New York walkabout in the backup story. He conveys the Manhattan neighborhood Matt calls home incredibly well, not to mention the special place he holds in it. Read Full Review

However, Ive been longing to get back into the Marvel Universe lately. My problem was that the vast majority of their books seem to be connected to some kind of event or crossover, and held little interest for me. Im also not a fan of paying 4 bucks for a traditional length comic, but Daredevil #1 has extra pages for the extra dollar. But, really, it was the creative team that convinced me to give this book a shot, and Im glad that I did. Read Full Review

Pablo Rivera’s art is a bizarre misstep. I say bizarre because his work on the opening battle with Daredevil and The Spot is perfect, as is his ending with Daredevil on patrol. Everything else, the little scenes in-between, is where Rivera loses me. There’s no life to those scenes, they just lay there looking more like basic colored pencils than a finished product. I must also come clean that I so wanted Neal Adams, John Romita Jr. or some other icon to be handling the art. If Rivera is going to continue as the main artist for Daredevil, he needs to raise his game just a bit. I haven’t forgiven everything Marvel did to Daredevil, and I still have the sour taste of Andy Diggle’s abysmal work in my mouth. That being said, Daredevil, however cautiously, is exciting me for the first time in a while. Read Full Review

The first issue is a good re-introduction to the character plopping the Murdock right back into his old life (even if it does skirt the consequences of Shadowland). Worth a look. Read Full Review

Paolo Rivera is a genius

The second story has great layouts.

Not the most impressive first issue but the rest of this series is near perfect
