I have loved Daredevil for years and to have the great Kevin Smith write this story was awesome. Kevin gets the story the reader needs to hear. He writes from the heart. Artwork is very supportive if this great story. Loved every minute of it.

Nice read. The daredevil story is different than the tv series I watched. Good twists and turns in the story

Like Daredevil: Yellow by Loeb and Sale, Guardian Devil is a beautiful book! Kevin Smith wrote an amazing, thought-provoking story. I really feel like he poured everything he had into this story. Joe Quesada, along with Jimmy Palmiotti, did some of the best work of his comics career. Like Smith, those two gentlemen left everything they had on the page. Whether you purchase the original books, the graphic novel or on Kindle, this story is worth the price you'll pay.

Daredevil is one of my favorite comic book superheroes and I had mixed feelings when I heard this series would be written by Kevin Smith. I know many people don't like Smith's movies, but please do not let that stop you from reading this book. I've seen many of Smith's movies and I can't say that I'm a big fan of all of them. I was cautious about buying this book for the longest time because I was scared that the material would not be treated with respect. I was wrong. Smith is clearly a lover of comic books and he is an excellent writer and he treats this material with respect and at the same time he pushes some boundaries with the Daredevil character.

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2011
Currently there are three listings for "Daredevil: Guardian Devil" on Amazon. The oldest is listed as "Daredevil Visionaries: Guardian Devil" and it's from the year 2000. Praise for the book back then called it the best Daredevil since Frank Miller. I'm a big fan of Kevin Smith's movies and his one man shows, and I've been reading Daredevil by Brian M. Bendis, which made references to this book. So, Guardian Devil has been on my radar for a long time. I finally read it and, man, it's disappointing.

Drugs explain away out of character moments, plot-holes are hand-waved out of existence, and most of it is overwritten. Sometimes the writing works with Mr. Smith throwing thinly veiled references to his film career and the moments with Matt's mom are great, but the ending feels like a gigantic cheat.

On the other hand, the art really saves it. This is the first time I've seen Joe Q's art and it's quite stylish: a mix of Frank Miller and Bruce Timm. The digital ink also gives the book some rich color that I've never seen on Daredevil. Even though he makes Daredevil look like a thumb, Black Widow is absolutely poured into her costume.

I'm becoming a Daredevil completionist. For completionist fans, I can only advise you to buy it later. Don't splurge and get it right away, wait until you have the extra cash. For the casual fans, I'd say skip it. If you were a fan of Bendis' run on Daredevil and want to get this because this was the launching point, I still say give it a pass. Bendis and Smith have clashing styles and you're not going to enjoy it. Other than "than one important thing," nothing is essential in this book.

I'm tempted to give it a 4, because the art is really stunning, but the writing doesn't hold up. It might have broken new ground ten years ago, but we've come a long way since then.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great comic book
Reviewed in Brazil on May 8, 2019
Extremely relevant comic for those who follow the trajectory of the character. He discusses the character's religiosity and opens a new narrative path by closing some open questions from the Frank Miller phase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guardian Devil, de lo mejor de Daredevil
Reviewed in Mexico on October 1, 2015
En mi opinión, Guardian Devil, esta en mi top 5 de Daredevil. En ella, Matt Murdock debe lidiar con el abandono de Karen Peage y un terrible secreto. También verás a Foggy Nelson, el mejor amigo de Matt incriminado en un asesinato. Todo esto mientras trata de salvar a una adolescente y a un niño quien se dice que es la salvación de la humanidad.
La pareja formada por Kevin Smith (escritor) y Joe Quesada (dibujante) entregan una historia, que si bien no es tan oscura al estilo de Frank Miller, sorprende al lector de forma positiva en diversas ocasiones. En particular, este comic viene en una presentación de tapa blanda, excelentemente encuadernada, el arte viene impreso en papel algo brillante que hace destacar el excelente trabajo de Quesada.
En definitiva, Guardian Devil tiene lo necesario para llegar a ser una historia increíble para los fans de Daredevil. Solo un consejo, antes de leer este comic asegúrate de leer antes Daredevil: Born Again de Frank Miller, de esta forma podrás entender mejor el progreso de Karen Page, la novia de DD.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best graphic novels ever
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 7, 2016
Even you are not a Daredevil fan, there is lots to applaud in this tour de force graphic novel. I always thought Daredevil was a bit like the Xmen in that the appeal is largely to the existing fanbase but here Kevin Smith manages to write a blockbuster page turner that will appeal to all. Has all the attributes of a very good thriller novel with the added bonus of complimentary colouring and art that you get from a graphic novel. Wish all graphic novels were this good. Easily maximum stars and I am not a fan of all Kevin Smith's writing.

It's a good starting place for what wound up an amazing run (thank you Bendis and Maleev). The story and art are decent with some surprises.
