Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev Review

After reading all of Frank Miller's Daredevil work and Mark Waid's initial Daredevil series I decided to get into the other famous and excellent run on the character from the early 2000's by writer Brian Michael Bendis with artist Alex Maleev. These dark and gritty tales became a highly acclaimed run on The Man Without Fear. The main take away from the run was that it outed Daredevil's secret identity to the public, something that Matt Murdock had to deal with all the way up to Waid's 2011 run. So after completing and enjoy both Miller's and Waid's run on Daredevil I wanted to get into the other big run on the character in between both of the aforementioned writers.

Following Frank Millers momentous work on Daredevil, few writers achieved the same level acclaim. Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev became the next great creative team for The Man Without Fear, their award winning four year work was the next great Daredevil run.

It brought readers back to the crime noir roots of success that Miller planted over two decades earlier. Their work emulates Miller's time on Daredevil, integrating the street level tone that Miller introduced and making it part of Daredevil's character. Their first story arc; Underboss is influenced by Miller's seminal Born Again story, The Kingpin's knowledge of Daredevil's identity is now made public. Bendis takes what Miller had introduced and takes it to new heights without retreading old ground. Within the first year of their four year run it introduced the biggest change to the status quo for Daredevil on a level not seen since Miller's run. It laid the foundation for the stories to come and beyond that's felt all the way to current Daredevil series, showcasing that this newest run was off to a very strong start.

The stories centered on the daily humanity of the hero: Matt Murdock’s personal life. It reversed the narrative taking it from a typical superhero comic and making it into a crime story that included a costumed hero. Its grounded stories are so real are a reason behind its influence. Bendis understood that plot of stories is very important but so emotion and character that's even more critical. Matt Murdock was flawed man, sometimes his actions were so distanced from what we’d expect of a classic Marvel hero and as a Lawyer he repeatedly compromised his oath-bound ethics—but this enriched the mythology greatly. The art by Alex Maleev created certain visuals for the series that matched the dark and gritty storytelling. It had wonderful sense of mood: dark, gritty and foreboding.

The outing of Daredevil's identity is the single greatest element factor of the run, it a common superhero trope that's been explored in a way no other superhero comics had ever done. There was no quick fix or close call like so many other masked heroes have faced, it's existed all the way to the current series and it's due to be rectconned in the new Marvel Universe reboot; All-New, All-Different Marvel. The revelation made way for great stories to come for the series and The Man Without Fear.

Bendis and Maleev continued what Miller had started, in the 80's Miller redefined Matt Murdock's world, but Bendis has pushed it to new heights without retreading old territory. The run inspired Mark Waid's 2011 Daredevil series as a counterpoint to all the dark stories and misfortune the character had been put through. Bendis and Maleev's four year work on Daredevil continues to be one of the major high point of the characters history. It is the eptionme of dark gritty and realistic Daredevil. All collected in these three big paperback volumes giving over 50 issues of brilliant and unforgettable Daredevil stories.

Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Vol.3 Review


Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Vol.3 is the conclusion of one of the most influential and acclaimed comic book runs of the Man Without Fear – Daredevil. Frank Miller concludes his highly successful run of the series with Inker-Penciller Klaus Janson. Collecting the final six issues of his initial run; #185 – 191 from August 1982 to February 1983, also included are other works by Miller, an alternate version detailing what if Matt Murdock became an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in What If? #28, the gritty urban crime western story #219 and Daredevil: Love & War, a 1986 graphic novel. Their character defining run ends here on the last of three collected trade paperbacks that covers the end of their four year run.

It’s more from the master of crime of noir featuring stunning visuals and gut-wrenching storytelling as Frank Miller ends his run. The drama, tension and action doesn’t falter or slow down towards the concluding part of Miller’s series. It’s as good as everything that preceded it. By issue #185 Miller had nearly relinquished his role as artist only providing rough layouts for Janson to both pencil and ink. Although Miller returned to the role for his exciting conclusion issue on the series. The final six issue of the initial run by Miller are great. Issue #185 -Guts is a pleasant start to the book, it’s a lighter tone and fun story depicting an investigation by Matt Murdock’s partner and best friend Foggy Nelson’s and his foray into the world of organized crime, he even comes face to face with The Kingpin. It is a change of pace for a light hearted single issue tale before the story gets back to its more familiar tone. The main story arc cumulates from the best of the previous aspects of Miller’s run. The Hand and their return to New York, Stick, Black Widow and Elektra are all a big part of this final story arc that’s a thrilling and a satisfying end to arc ending issue #190 another excellent and brilliant double length.

Issue #191 Roulette is frequently cited as one of the greatest single issues of all time and rightfully so, for this finale of Miller’s initial run has Daredevil pay a visit to a hospitalised Bullseye, bringing back the villain that had long plagued Daredevil since Miller’s run began. He lies motionless, paralyzed due to their last encounter. The over the edge hero plays the deadly game with his deadliest enemy as he reveals the reason that brought him here as well as his own back story. Daredevil reevaluates what it means to be a hero. The art is dramatic with depth as Miller pencils his final issue with guest Inker Terry Austin providing excellent work with dark tones to match the story. An element that’s very effective was the use of the same panel several times and in the climax, becomes larger, zooming in closer on a helpless and still Bullseye. It was great bringing back the villain for his final issue even if it a reduced state. A fantastic issue that you instantly want to re-read again that marks the end of Millier’s initial run on the series, serving as the conclusion on a highly successful run. It summarizes many of the moral themes and character statements the writer focused on, reflecting on the nature of morality, law and ongoing conflict between good and evil in society that became one of Marvel’s single greatest comics ever published. It could also be considered as one of the earliest high points of Miller’s career, predating The Dark Knight Returns and Batman Year One by less than three years. The story is the single greatest highlight of this collection, its brilliant. Unfortunately it can only undermine the impact of the two single issue stories that follow.


What If… was a series that explored alternate paths of various Marvel heroes and issue #28 featured what if Matt Murdock became an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Miller penciled and co-wrote the story shortly after he became a Writer on the Daredevil series. It’s a nice bonus tale that’s something you’d expect to find in a collection such as this. Being a Daredevil fan you know the origin story so well and this is an alteration of the familiar event. Issue #219 marks a single issue return by Miller on the series, Badlands is an urban crime story that’s like a modern western. Matt leaves his Daredevil persona at home as he’s traveled to a little crime ridden town and doesn’t utter a single word in this gritty crime tale. It’s very good, giving you something that’s different from what we’ve come to expect from both Miller and Daredevil, it’s an interesting story.
Love and War is the final piece of the collection. Originally printed as a graphic novel in 1986 features Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin trying to help his wife Vanessa recover from her catatonic state from events of the Gang War story line that was featured in Vol.1 of this series. A story very much told in the presence of the crime lord, he arranges the kidnapping of the wife of Psychiatrist Dr. Mondat as a method of persuasion to help Vanessa’s recovery. The kidnapping of the doctor’s wife is carried out by Victor, a psychologically disturbed man who carries the real horror of the story. Daredevil plays a supporting role as he attempts to rescue both the Doctor and his wife from the actions of Fisk, it shows his savage nature to help his wife, the one he thing he truly holds dear. It’s an excellent story that builds upon Miller’s initial Daredevil run further expanding upon the antagonistic relationship between the two, explaining the reason behind the change in Kingpin’s attitude toward Daredevil that indirectly bridges Miller's first run with his jseminal Daredevil story Born Again. A great story focusing on the motivations of both The Kingpin and Dr. Mondat showing the depths what both men go to for their wife’s. It’s very much a violent story down to the actions of the psychopath Victor. Originally printed in a single Graphic Novel that’s no longer in print is a nice bonus and great way to end the collection of Daredevil by Frank Miller books, a somewhat unheard of book and story. The art of the story is distinctively painted by Bill Sienkiewicz, his skillful art doesn’t make it appear as dated as others in the collection. Everything that followed in Millers primary run in this collection features Millers doing something different and not trying to re-create the same kind of style of stories he had previously done, An alternate history, a modern western tale and a story more focused on sympathizing with the villain, positioning Daredevil in the background of the story offering a change of pace of the 35 issues over the three trade paperbacks.

Miller brought some of the greatest and interesting aspects back for this final arc including The Hand, Stick and Elektra and the welcome re-appearance of Black Widow. The final story arc raises the drama, action and tension for an exciting story that has a grand finale feel to it. The inclusion of Miller’s other work, What If…#28, issue #219 and Love and War is a great bonus from a writer that you are interested of reading more from. When Miller first came on board Marvel's ailing Daredevil series, his role was largely visual, but seeing how well fans were responding to Miller's darker style, he eventually took full control of the series, Daredevil gained a new level of recognition and respectability. Miller’s take redefined the character for a generation and has lived on to be a classic decades later.

But Miller wasn't done with the character he later returned for several issues of what is considered the definitive and greatest Daredevil story; Born Again. Miller’s return to the series was heighted due to how successful and influential everything he had done previously. Miller again later returned to the character for his 1993 limited series The Man Without Fear, redefining the origin story that included many elements that originated from this original run of the series.

Frank Miller ended his brilliant four year run on Daredevil as both a Penciler and Writer with one of the most amazing comics ever published, with issue #191 which saw Daredevil be so open about his doubts and give an interesting point of view with respect to violence. Miller’s final issue that he cited in a 1983 interview as the issue he’s most proud of before passing the torch to another comic’s legend Denny O’ Neil. Miller's stories, tone and artistry herald one of Daredevil's greatest eras and is concluded in the last of three trade paperbacks. If you’re a Frank Miller Daredevil fan who’s previously read the best known books; The Man Without Fear and Born Again, go back a check out this amazing and influential run of his first take on the character that’s arguably one of best takes of Daredevil and some of the greatest comics you’ll ever read, essential reading for any Frank Miller or Daredevil fan.

Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Vol.2 Review

Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Vol.2 is the continuation of one of the most influential and acclaimed comic book runs of the Man Without Fear – Daredevil. Frank Miller continues his highly successful run of the series with Inker-Penciler Klaus Janson collecting Daredevil #173 – 184 from August 1981 to July 1982. Their character defining run continues here on the second of three collected trade paperbacks that covers the midpoint of their four year run. 

Frank Miller continues his gritty noir take of Daredevil, street level crime and unraveling legal conspiracies while infusing the series with the tone that has become so synonymous with the character. This was the era where Miller first introduced the ninja element to the series, creating the ninja cult The Hand and introducing Stick, Daredevil's former mentor and - perhaps most importantly – Elektra, returning for a lengthy story arc that would become what the series was best known for. It achieved a height of success and acclaim years before Miller later returned to the series to for the amazing story arc Born Again.

This is the book that's the core of Miller and Janson’s run and everything great about Daredevil, I got this book long before I purchased Volume 1 and 3 of the series due to its recognition. The Gladiator makes a sympathetic appearance in an early story line, even fighting alongside Elektra and Daredevil. It’s the return his former flame and the escape of Bullseye that weighs most heavily for our hero, with issue #181 Miller’s began writing in a new spectacular fashion.

Elektra remains to be one of the greatest parts of the Miller’s time on the series. Her first appearance in the previous collection marked in debut Daredevil #168 and this era of stories is what’s been viewed as the highlight of Miller’s original run on series, putting his biggest addition at the forefront of a story that was dubbed The Elektra Saga. She was earlier introduced as a long lost love interest to Matt Murdock who became an assassin. This is the main story arc of the collection, The Elektra Saga, (starting with her debut in Daredevil #168 from Volume 1 and issues #174-182), the conclusion of the story became one of the most shocking and iconic aspects of comics, the imagery is unforgettable. All of the previous plot points cumulated in Daredevil #181, it was a great story with superb action sequences. The double length issue a big deal for its time and still holds up as a significant read more than thirty years later and still considered as one of the major high points of Miller’s Daredevil run. It’s highly likely the one story line fans think of in relation to Miller’s original run in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Miller was at the top of his game, doing his best work as writer and artist, the duel between Bullseye and Elektra is iconic. Its outcome results in Daredevil gradually became a darker kind of hero, this kind of drama and urban crime stories began to attract attention. The revamping of the series might have seemed controversial amongst fans, but it clicked with new readers, increasing sales. Miller had taken a second-tier Marvel character and turned him into on of Marvel’s most popular. It’s really with this era that Frank Miller and Daredevil began to break new ground. It was also in this period that the comic returned to monthly status rather than bi-monthly just three issues after Miller came on as writer. It also highlights Daily Bugle Investigative Journalist Ben Urich as a important player, whom has his own share of the danger as he seeks to uncover truth and conspiracy.

The Punisher first meets Daredevil in a dark and controversial story line “Child’s Play” that concludes the collection. The Punisher/Frank Castle and Daredevil, they are both after a drug pusher who is selling drugs to children. The two crime fighters come into conflict with each other, mostly down to their methods of dealing with the perpetrators. It made for a fantastic story just after the previous story. This one is very different kind of tale, but its dark and gritty, things you’ve come to expect from this interpretation of Daredevil. It was a great story to end the collection.

Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Volume 2 wherein Miller continues his highly acclaimed run, introducing more aspects to Daredevil continuing the most influential period for the character almost redefining a darker interpretation of the hero and stories. The showdown between Elektra and Bullseye remains one of the most iconic moments in comics. Miller's take on Daredevil was characterized by darker themes and stories that hit its peak with issue #181 in this volume. The clash between two Daredevil enemies is one of the most visually iconic and shocking scenes in Marvel history. It stunned readers and the drama was wracked up a few more notches. This is the high point of Miller’s initial tenure on Daredevil. It has so many elements that made the series so great and became a classic. It showcases both Frank Miller and Daredevil breaking new ground, entering a new level of stories and success. If you only pick up one of these trade paperbacks collecting Miller’s original run on the same, let this be the one.The creative team of Miller and Janson’s continue their daring reinvention of the character, raising the series to new heights.

Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Vol.1 Review

Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Vol.1 is the beginning of one of the most influential and acclaimed comic book runs of the man without fear – Daredevil. Frank Miller began his highly successful tenure starting as penciler then co-plotter and finally series Writer taking over from Roger McKenzie who was an early influence on Miller’s own writing. It collects Daredevil #158 – 161 and #163 – 172 with inker-penciler Klaus Janson. Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #27-28 is also collected. Miller and Janson’s daring reinvention of the character quickly made Frank Miller on of the biggest and most influential stars of comic book industry. This character defining run begins here on the first of three collected trade paperbacks and the beginning of his four year run.

First appearing in 1964, Daredevil got a new lease of life during 1979-1983 by Writer-Penciler Frank Miller. This trade collects the beginning of Miller’s legendary run starting with issue #158 when Miller first began penciling Roger Mc Kenzie’s scripts. He first drew Daredevil in Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #27–28 which guest stared Daredevil assisting a temporarily blinded Spider-Man. Miller then began Daredevil art duties beginning with issue Daredevil #158 and later took over from issue #168 where he introduced Elektra, who would go on to become a long time fan favorite character and staple of Daredevil universe. The majority of the book features mostly standalone stories with appearances from Natasha Romanoff/The Black Widow, The Hulk, Doc Ock and classic Daredevil villain The Gladiator, while lengthier three part stories arcs feature The Kingpin and Daredevil’s best and greatest adversary Bullseye. Investigative Reporter Ben Urich sets up a new relationship for Daredevil for many stories to come. The issues collected from February 1979 to July 1981 and contain a few noteworthy issues including; #158 first Frank Miller art of the Daredevil series, #168 Miller took over on the series and first appearance of Elektra and #170 the first appearance of The Kingpin to Daredevil comics and remains a big part of the Daredevil universe.


Miller brought many new aspects to the Daredevil series during his four year run. As an artist on issue #164 Miller which was a re-envisioning of Daredevil's origin story, the creation of ninja assassin Elektra and bringing Spider-Man villain Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin to the series, all these elements would be something Miller revisited during the retelling of origin story in his 1993 miniseries The Man Without Fear, which now incorporated included all these elements for the redefined Daredevil origin story with John Romita Jr. Elektra remains to be one of the greatest parts of the Miller’s time on the series. Her first appearance in Daredevil #168 marked in debut and first meeting with Matt Murdock during their college years. Although a single appearance Miller would later bring her back as presented in the second volume of this trade paperback series in a larger story arc that became one of the one of the highlights of Millers tenure as well as becoming on of the most iconic moments in comics. Miller’s inclusion of The Kingpin is a recurring foe connects to his later work on the series and character including Love and War, The Man Without Fear and the permanent classic Born Again.

These classic stories mark the start of Millers run on the character that reinvented the series. The series quickly evolved into a sprawling epic with riveting dramas and Miller infused the series with its noir tone that is now synonymous with the character. 
These are elements were still remaining for a long time after the torch was passed to new creative teams. He laid the groundwork for many years of stories to come and setting a darker tone for character which pretty much remained up until a 2011 relaunch from writer Mark Waid. This collection is a fantastic start to a new era for the character that influences had been felt all the way up to the current Daredevil series on Netflix. Daredevil Vol. 1 collects the beginning of Miller’s critically acclaimed series that brought the character to new level of heights fame and success. If you’re like me and a big Frank Miller fan, having already checked out the best of his other Daredevil work, its great going back to beginning of Miller’s initial run on the character. 

Since his creation by Stan Lee and Bill Everett in 1964, the work by Writer Artist Frank Miller became one the first major highlights of the characters lifespan. Miller’s influential tenure during the early 1980’s evaluated the character popularity as well as Miller’s own reputation. This collection is the begging of a new era for both; Comics legend Frank Miller and one best character’s in comics Daredevil. Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Volume 1 is where Miller slowly sows the seeds for many of the iconic elements of the Daredevil mythos to come, starting off the most influential period for the character.

All Star Batman & Robin The Boy Wonder Review and Extras - The Complete Box Set

One of the four graphic novels I got for Christmas from my Girlfriend. I thoroughly enjoyed this book of the modern re-imagining of the the first meeting and formation of the Dynamic Duo; Batman and Robin.

The All Star line was a introduced by DC Comics to retell stories of DC's best known characters free of continuity. Created by two of the best in industry; written by Frank Miller and illustrated by Jim Lee, this 2005-2008 limited series is the modern retelling of Batman recruiting young Dick Grayson in his war on crime. 

Although the series was not that well received and went on hiatus after issue #10.  I loved it, this Batman may not be everyone's interpretation of the Dark Knight but its a fun one. This Batman is wreck-less, violent and likes to laugh as he descends on a group of thugs in for a beating. The series also features an early arrangement of the Justice League, who are concerned of how Batman actions reflect on the superhero community. It features appearances of Superman, Hal Jordan, Wonder Woman and Black Canary among others this interesting and enjoyable read. The story is great, the art is superb but the only drawback is that it feels incomplete, the series went on hiatus after issue #10 which was recalled and it was planned to return titled "Dark Knight: Boy Wonder" which never materialized in 2011 and shortly after the New 52 was announced. I really enjoyed this controversial series and I preferred it to Grant Morrision's All Star Superman. 

All Star Batman & Robin The Boy Wonder Volume 1 collects issues 1 - 9 of this hugely enjoyed but short lived series.


Extras: The Complete Collection DVD
Since last week I've been watching Extras. I purchased the complete box 
set a few years back and in typical box set fashion, I've only began watching it recently. This sitcom from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant is hilarious. It follows the life of Andy, an TV and film extra striving for bigger and better things as an accomplished Actor while dim Agent struggles to find him better roles. Andy is accompanied by air head best friend Maggie, who on occasion gets Andy in a few spots of bother as she always fails to think before she speaks. 

The Box Set contains 12 episodes of seasons 1 and 2 seasons and the TV Christmas Special. The show features twisted versions of well know Celebrities playing themselves including, Kate Winslet, Ben Stiller, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Martin, Daniel Radcliffe and many many more in mortifying and hilarious situations. The show was extremely well received in both the UK and US and is an all round great British comedy. So if your looking for something different and that never feels dated you should check it out.
