A collection of battles of the two arch-foes, the first of which is a bit on the cheesy side, with poor artwork as the throwing killer comes on the scene.

Things improve considerably in the Frank Miller stories, which later on involve Elektra the Assassin, of course, in a now long-famous confrontaiton.

Would actually be better if they left out the first part, storywise, but I suppose it is more of a 'completist' battle scenario.

The last part goes a little Deerhunter scene.

Every superhero has their one top nemesis that always seems to be on the edge of getting the better of them. Batman has the Joker, Captain America has the Red Skull, and Superman has Lex Luthor. For Daredevil though, many automatically assume that it's the Kingpin, and they may be right to a point, but who has had a more direct impact than Bullseye? The insane assassin for hire has his first meeting with Daredevil in this collection, which concludes with issues from Frank Miller's monolithic first run on the series, which also includes the classic #181 where Bullseye kills Elektra. The Miller issues have already been available in previous collections, so whether or not this volume is worth picking up is entirely up to you. Also, it's worth noting that this TPB states "Vol. 1", which means that future volumes could be on the horizon, including the more recent smackdown between Daredevil and Bullseye from Brian Michael Bendis' Hardcore storyline, which is undoubtedly one of the best fights you'll read in a mainstream comic. All in all, there's nothing bad to be found in this collection that features work from Miller, Marv Wolfman, and Archie Goodwin among others, but whether or not it's worth owning is entirely up to you.
