    It's a fun adventure for the character, but it's less a story about Daredevil than it is the first part of his story. The idea, presumably, is to lay the groundwork so that readers can explore more by reading the rest of his published career, and in that sense it's a success -- but if you're familiar with the character already, don't expect anything other than an enjoyable retelling of his early adventures.

    A comprehensively disappointing addition to the Season One initiative, Daredevil: Season One has lowered my expectations from future additions quite considerably. Being the eternal optimist, I hope for another reversal of fortunes in perhaps the upcoming Spider-man book or even, the second wave of the project next year; Lord forbid that too much damage has been done to the overall portfolio by then, though.

    If a new reader wants to dive into Daredevil, it's difficult to recommend Season One as a starting point. Both Daredevil: Yellow and Daredevil: The Man Without Fear offer far superior takes on Matt Murdock's formative years within the span of a single trade paperback. Meanwhile, Mark Waid's current DD series (of which the first issue is included in this hardcover) is all most readers will need to fall in love with the character. That leaves Season One very low on the priority list. Read Full Review

    There's something very charming about seeing another story in Daredevil's early days. It's not overly sophisticated but its fun seeing him go up against some of his classic villains and working with Foggy and Karen during more innocent times. A pleasant read overall, even if the dialogue and narration can be a little silly at times, with Daredevil having a lot of lame quips in this story. Also, the whole thing kind of just breezes through one villain to the next without a lot of time to dwell on any of it, so it doesn't feel overly substantial. I still liked it more than I didn't, though. Matt and Foggy work a pretty cool case together and that's enough for me in a lot of ways, I just wished I liked the superhero stuff a little more an more
