Over the last couple of years DD has become one of my favourite Marvel characters (second to Spider-man) and after reading Mark Waid's fantastic run and Miller's famous stories I decided to hunt down the collected volumes of his main run.

The majority of this volume has Miller confined to pencils. He's got a great style but the stories are a little villain of the week. However, once he takes over writing duties there's a clear step up in quality with the introduction of Elektra, the return of the Kingpin and a new crime syndicate. The stores are dark, tightly paced and brutal albeit with a humorous streak.

Great stuff and given some of the other comics of the era, very readable. I flew though this. Bring on volume 2!
