New fun take on Hornhead

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2012

A very pleasant surprise to read a retelling of that was fun, interesting, and engaging. Even though I was familiar with the backstory of Daredevil, this wonderfully illustrated story touches on the past points without slowing down from a new story that takes place in Matt Murdock's first year as a crime fighter. With many decades of cannon available, this tale shouldn't be overlooked and will be accessible to new and old readers alike. I would rank it somewhere between 4 and 5 stars, since it swept me up, entertained and didn't let me down.

Unfortunately, I have always thought that the daredevil origin to be kind of slow, not to mention flat. The book struggles with finding its niche. I can't help but think that the whole story needs to be redone. The book is a lot more enjoyable if also paired with "Daredevil Yellow Vol.1". I think that the team on this book did they best they could but given the confines of the origin story were not able to shine as they could have. As a Daredevil fan I would be willing to try other more original material in the future.

Tepid

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2012

What do you call it when you sell someone an inferior product because you know they don't know any better?

These "Season One" books are an attempt by Marvel to reach out to the mainstream consumer who has never bought a comic book. This would be a great opportunity for any creative team put their best efforts forward and leave an impression on new readers, sadly Daredevil Season One is a tepid and boring display. I'd be ashamed to keep this on my bookshelf.

The book follows the first couple of issues penned by Stan Lee in the 1960s, including Daredevil encountering the Fantastic Four, Electro, the Purple Man, but it's just so boring. At least Stan Lee's have the retro 1960s charm, the characters in this book are SO BLAND. It's not helped by the inconsistent art - at a distance the characters look like blobs, at midrange they lack features, and close up they're positively CREEPY, like gremlins wearing human masks. Plus it's just SO BORING, I can't tell you how many times I kept looking towards the end, just to see how many more pages I had to read.

If Marvel's goal was to set the bar so low, that it makes everything else look better - Mission Accomplished.

The sad part is, this type of look into daredevil's early career has been done before, and way better, in Daredevil Yellow by Jeph Loeb and Time Sale ( Daredevil: Yellow ) . Loeb/Sale, that's a team that had STYLE.

Daredevil is a great character, he's like Batman and Spiderman mixed together. So many talented people have worked on Daredevil, that it's a wonder he's not more popular. Actually, that's no secret, Daredevil is just too hot for TV and can't have any cartoons. But, I urge you, if you want to read about Daredevil, avoid this like the plague, and instead start off with Daredevil by Frank Miller ( Daredevil, Vol. 1 ). Frank Miller's Daredevil is the definitive version of the character, and all other subsequent stories spin off his character defining run.

Daredevil Season One is terrible. 1-out-of-5.

It's not the best comic I've ever read. I got this because Daredevil is my favorite superhero and I really love the X-Men: Season One comic. This is alright, I guess.

Interesting but nothing special.

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2012

This was an okay read. Kind of fun seeing some early Daredevil stories get updated. But as early Daredevil stories go, this doesn't hold a candle to some others I've read. Frank Miller's Man Without Fear and Jeff Loeb's Daredevil:Yellow are superior.

Making the old new again

Reviewed in Canada on April 25, 2012

Daredevil's modernized origin story is a little different than the previous Season One books but in a good and very fun way. In this Season One origin story the other Marvel heroes already exist and Matt Murdock is trying to build a reputation for Daredevil as a hero to be taken seriously. This is what makes this story a fun read because he's sick of hearing all about Spider-Man, his powers, his victories, and wants Daredevil to be talked about just like him. He really wants Daredevil to be one of the greats and respected like all the other heroes but it doesn't always work out for him. The art isn't as great as the previous Season One titles but it definitely delivers the details when it needs it. Having the #1 issue of the latest volume of Daredevil by Mark Waid at the back of the book makes me want to go out and buy the latest Daredevil book. It's the best #1 out of all the Season One books so far. While the art doesn't always quite live up to the reputation of the previous Season One books the story makes this a worthy addition to any collection.

The Devil's Debut Days

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 24, 2012

This is the second of Marvel's Season One series that I have read, and although I didn't enjoy it as much as the Fantastic Four volume, there is still much to enjoy here. The idea is the same, updating the first few issues of a popular superhero to bring them into the modern day, but the treatment is a little different to the previous installment.

Antony Johnston deals with the accident that gave Matt Murdock his amazing powers, and his revenge on the murderers of his father, very briefly, choosing instead to concentrate on the vigilante's first few clashes with supervillains including the Owl, the Purple Man, and Mr. Fear. At the same time, these action-packed skirmishes are intercut with a plot involving a shady politician and Murdock's local church that runs the entire length of the volume.

I would have liked to have seen some of these events in a little more detail, but Johnston also deals at length, and more succesfully, with Matt's personal relationships, more specifically his growing feelings for his secretary Karen, and his friendship-rivalry with his partner Foggy. These more character-based sequences are well-written, and give the reader a good idea of Daredevil's character without ever resorting to fisticuffs.

Wellinton Alves provides the art, and while his style may be a little sketchy in places, he does a decent job both of capturing Daredevil's athleticism and Matt Murdock's character. The environs of Hell's Kitchens are rendered in slightly brooding fashion without ever becoming too dark.

The volume finishes with a reprint of Dardevil #1 from 2011, to try and hook readers into checking out his current series. I still think the space could have perhaps been better spent expanding the main story, but the issue is at least a fantastic read in its own right.

Like the series as a whole, Daredevil Season One is aimed firmly at the new reader, and works well at introducing the character and his themes in enjoyable fashion. More seasoned comic readers after a tale of DD's early days would be better off trying Daredevil: Yellow, which is a more original work, but for the intended audience this is another success.
