This isn't a reboot, it's a fresh start for Matt Murdoch and DD. All of the history is still there, Matt Murdoch is back in San Francisco. I excited for the next issue.

Great art. The stories are creative, surprising, and satisfying. Who knew Daredevil could be so good?

Seller is Awesome! Got it on time! Daredevil, Vol. 1 itself was awesome and I highly suggest you give it a try. Everything was Great! Recommended all around!

The last Daredevil story I read was during the whole "Shadowland" arc. It was enough to make me almost forget about the character. The dark, depressing, dreary 'hero' just wasn't doing it for me. After hearing many great things about the relaunched series with writer Mark Waid, I decided to give ol' Hornhead another shot. Boy am I glad I did.
This Daredevil seems an almost total opposite of the one from a few years ago. He makes jokes, is flirty, and is generally much more lighthearted than previous renditions. The way Waid changes the character seems like a logical progression, as I am sure an explanation of the "new" Matt Murdock will be exposed. Surely, though, there are enough dark characters out there. Let's let Daredevil have some fun for once!
Paolo Rivera's art was also something that didn't quite click with me at first. It wasn't until noticing small details in the scenes, particularly highlighted items in the surroundings that Daredevil's enhanced senses picked up on, that I really fell in love with his style. The way sounds are embellished really drove home that Matt Murdock is a blind hero. Showing how small background noises can affect him, the reader really starts to appreciate his power.
I must say that it took an issue for me to get used to the new style of Daredevil. It seemed like a massive departure from what was previously established. However, the stories told in this trade really make the character shine. The wit and happiness of the character is infectious. I really liked how many characters kept accusing Murdock of being Daredevil (which of course he is) and the ways that he would continually reject the claims. Clever touches like that in the book show the care that Waid and company have for the character.

Having read the Guardian Devil from Kevin Smith, and only heard from the pretty grim runs by Bendis and Brubaker, I'd normally come to expect darkness and death from Daredevil. Not the case here, but what I got is really, REALLY awesome.
To keep it short and concise, the plot and dialogue is fun and well-paced, with definite voices and motivations for each character. Exactly what one would expect from Mark Waid.
The art is amazing, both Rivera and Martin bring something different to the table, with clean lines and the precise amount of detail on every single panel. The inking and coloring also help to bring the quality to astonishing levels.
And just to clarify, this Oversized Hardcover includes the content of the first two TPBs, released last year, but in an overall better package (considering that the pagesize is roughly the same as in the Omnibus line), with some added extras in the end.
To put it simple, if you are in a mood for fun, smart, and gorgeous comic book stories, pick it up ASAP!

Mark Waid clearly knows what he's doing. Art leaves a bit to be desired, but still pretty good.

My knowledge of Daredevil is not very extensive, but I am looking forward to reading much more after this - Highly recommended !
