4.0 out of 5 stars
For David Mack fans, not superhero fanboys,
By
This review is from: Daredevil Vol. 8: Echo - Vision Quest (Paperback)
If you'd like to see Daredevil swinging through New York City beating up bad guys, this is not the comic for you. Although this is technically Volume 8 of the recent Daredevil run, it isn't exactly part of the regular continuity. The five issues that make up this volume were going to be a separate miniseries, but when Bendis and Maleev needed a break from Daredevil (after the Issue 50 battle with the Kingpin), the Echo mini was published under the Daredevil title instead.
This has led to an unfairly bad reputation for this beautifully painted, dream-like exploration of identity and willingness to fight for a cause. Daredevil subscribers expected more of the plot and action that had filled the series to that point, and this meditative break was frustrating, particularly considering the point that Bendis had halted the main plot. If you are a fan of Alias (the comic) or Kabuki, this is for you. If you would like to gaze in awe at the poetic writing, beautiful painting and stunning mixed-media art of one of the most creative men in comics, buy this comic. You won't regret it.

One of the best graphic novels I have seen,
This review is from: Daredevil Vol. 8: Echo - Vision Quest (Paperback)
This graphic novel contains a WONDERFUL mix of styles and storytelling. David Mack uses collage to blend a myriad of styles, colors, and layouts to tell a narrative that is both moving and enchanting. Some of these styles include realistic watercolor and pencil renderings, and simplified line art evoking children's drawings or Native American pictographs. This book is beautiful, art-wise, and though it is set in the Marvel Universe, one does not have to know the characters to enjoy this story; it is so well done that the characters become understandable as archetypes even when one does not already know who they are. This is by far one of my favorite graphic novels ever.

This review is from: Daredevil Vol. 8: Echo - Vision Quest (Paperback)
Unreadable. Just a series of painted and collage pieces. If you are into artbooks, go for it.
