• Daredevil's in over his head in his new hometown, which isn't at all as he remembers it!
• New threats, new obstacles...and a forgotten Marvel hero steps from the shadows to make him feel MOST unwelcome!
It looks like, despite renumbering and a completely different location, were still getting the same high-quality Daredevil weve come to expect from this creative team. The change to San Francisco has not only given the setting a different flavor, but changed the character lineup significantly, making it far, far more than merely a palette swap. The last time Waid and Samnee revived an old character from total obscurity, we got the absolutely terrifying Spot Centipede and I cant wait to see what happens with this newest revived villain. This book is nothing but potential, and its going to be an incredible ride seeing it fulfilled. Read Full Review
Okay thats a whole lot of praise for a series that, by now, everybody should be reading even if you wouldnt consider yourself a fan of Daredevil. These guys will make you a fan within a few issues, no question, and youll have one of those Oooohhh moments where you finally realize why everybody raved about the last volume and why everybody is already raving about this volume. Its like a master class in comic book creation every month by three guys who do what they do better than almost anybody else out there. Buy it, read it, love it, cherish it while its here. As much as we all want Waid, Samnee and Rodriguez to stay on Daredevil forever, its probably not going to happen. But, hey, we can dream. Read Full Review
Visually, the book needs to balance a charming little dinner scene with some sinister plot developments, and Samnee nails it. His animated styleworks well with every story beat Daredevil #2 hits. Again and again, its hard to find fault withthis wonderful series. Read Full Review
Overall, this was a great issue, whether we talk about story and art. Big props to the entire creative team. Read Full Review
The team of Waid and Samnee are at the top of their game still in this new volume of Daredevil and from the looks of #2, it will be a long time before there is a lull. Read Full Review
“Daredevil #2″ was a fun issue, filled with the standard high level of writing ant artwork we've come to expect from Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. Samnee often manages to excel in small ways that show his great skill, such as the way he portrays Daredevil and The Shroud's different “radar senses”. Overall, this was another pretty great issue, with a cliffhanger that leaves us curious and eager. Read Full Review
Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's Daredevil is rarely anything less than a pleasure. Issue 2 keeps that track record in tact in spectacular fashion. Read Full Review
Our latest antagonist is a bit derivative and easy to read, but he reveals enough layers to make him a formidable challenge. Read Full Review
With the surprising end, Waid and Samnee have set up the Shroud to be a significant character in Daredevil, at least for a few issues. I think it would be fascinating if the double element was explored further. Will Matt Murdock see anything of himself in Max Coleridge the way Max sees himself in Matt? Will that make Matt question his approach to his new home city? Well soon see in the pages of Daredevil. Read Full Review
I have to say I loved the choice of the new rival for Daredevil. A man with martial arts training, blindness, and powers allowing him to function beyond his infirmity is perfect to tango with the Man Without Fear. He is also, apparently, the strategic match for Matt, allowing himself to lose a fight to draw the red clad devil right into his trap. I can't wait to see where this dance is going, and look forward to the next issue with fearless anticipation Read Full Review
A poor man's Daredevil in several respects, the Shroud is an interesting first choice to pit against the hero, although it does make me wonder how far Waid and Samnee will have to scrape the bottom of the Marvel barrel for West Coast threats going forward. Worth a look. Read Full Review
"Daredevil" #2 continues what Waid and Samnee have been doing for a while, now: telling excellent "Daredevil" stories. If you haven't been reading the series, this shift to San Francisco is a great opportunity to jump on board. Read Full Review
Another great issue. Better than last only because it had me at the edge of my seat earlier and longer than #1. Which is not a criticism considering the last issue had to recap what DD has been going through since the last run.
This issue of Daredevil takes its time more than the first issue did and it gives a chance for new readers to get up to speed with the character as we know it now. We get a look into Daredevil's new rival for this arc and the story gets its feet planted.
Introducing a new threat in Daredevil's life has never been more awesome. I truly consider Mark one of those writers who (almost) always do it right, and with Chris's help this is mathematical. Shroud is a secondary character in Marvel's universe, but in a couple pages he's presented in a pitiful yet creepy and horrifying way. The ending gives the new readers a hint at what can he do to Daredevil's powers and how dangerous will he be in the future.
Thrilled to see Waid and Samnee carrying on the spirit and quality from last year's DD run. They've proven that a heroic, optimistic Matt Murdock can be just as effective today as the broody one was previously.
Still good, but I'm afraid the title lost most of its charm in the (unnecessary) relaunch
One word: Overhyped.
Coming from a huge DD fan, it saddens me to give this book such a low score. This happy-go-lucky DD is not the Matt Murdoch we know, this feels like his annoying brother "Mike". Poor characterisation for the title character. Cartoon art. Hopefully this hipster stage in DD's life ends soon.
