There isn't a bad issue among the collection, but you only really get the promised Frank Miller/Klaus Janson run at the tail end of the volume, though I'm sure historians appreciate the guest issues that proceeded the run.

i liked it. it was good. but I did read the "man without fear" series first and that kinda ruined it for me. the violence and the darkness of the character was pretty far amplified in that series so going back and reading this felt weird. it still had some moments that I don't think the comics code authority would approve of but it still wasn't as edgy and gritty as i thought it would be. but as a storyline it was good. although only half the book is actually frank miller's writing. the other issues are only drawn by him. which is completely absurd.

Sure there were a number of moments in this book I liked. But it was a big book. And it is kind of showing its age. Garish colors, surface plots. And repeated themes and stories. There are hints of something better. But in this one they were mostly just hints. It was interesting to see the obvious source of the Kingpin material for the Netflix series.

I read this complete run probably 10-12 years ago; it is one of the greatest comic epics ever. The stories with just Miller and Janson on art are good and read like the end of an era. There is an immediate change when Miller takes over writing and pencils, both in the style of the stories, the cast of characters, and the quality level of the art. Daredevil shares much of what makes Spider-Man great (one man trying make a difference against overwhelming odds, street level action, gallows humor) but gets to pair it with a more adult story. Can’t wait to read Vols. 2 & 3. Highly recommended.
