In the final fist fight in the subway DeeDee has a chance to get rid of the bastard for good, with a little help from NYC railways.

Plus: Look back on Matt Murdock's formative years as a young boy grows into a Man Without Fear, and experience Miller's very first work on two Marvel icons as Daredevil teams up with Spider-Man!

This most profitable aspect of this millennium’s film production, now producing an annual flow of box office profits in the Billions of dollars, was launched when Frank Miller’s graphic novel re-take on the classic comic book hero, Batman, resulted in an entertainment industry-wide reconsideration of the genre in the deeper and darker vision Miller brought to it. Pero en un formato u otro, en inglés o castellano, hay que tenerlo en la colección del cuernecitos que todo el mundo debería tener en casa. Frank Miller toma las riendas de una serie a punto de ser cancelada y la enriquece con un tono de cine negro y una miríada de conceptos nuevos (Elektra, la Mano) o renovados (Bullseye, Kingpin) para insuflarle nueva vida. The central part of the story revolves around a fist fight in a movie theatre, with the Maltese Falcon in background. Al mismo tiempo Miller fue introduciendo en un ejercicio de retrocontinuidad bien realizada personajes nuevos como Elektra, una antigua amante del pasado convertida en asesina y el maestro Stick, que le enseñó a dominar sus sentidos aumentados de joven, todo esto lo trenzó en un arco de larga duración en el que presentó también a la organización criminal de la mano, un grupo de asesinos ninja a sueldo que adquirieron gran protagonismo en esta etapa y luego serían utilizados recurrentemente en esta y otras colecciones.

I won't spoil anything despite this being old but the amount of world building, chaos, and sadness this book contains is awesome. I really love how Miller’s characterization of the Kingpin, especially after the death of his wife, and the whole Death of Elektra story arc. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This is Miller's best (early) writing on Daredevil, where he introduces just about the entirety of the modern Daredevil mythos, including Elektra, Stick, the Kingpin as Daredevil villain, and Bullseye as arch-villain. Miller's Daredevil run is one of the most lauded, most hyped runs of any character, at least in my experience anyway.While the first few stories here showcase a more fun side of Daredevil and some cool moments with the hulk, they feel very typical superheroish. I am not aflutter about all of his works, but Miller does have the right kind of touch for fast-paced action and noir(-ish) atmosphere that “Daredevil” needs. Characterization is also a bit mixed for me with some characters being rather one dimensional (Foggy, Bullseye) while others are more well rounded or intriguing.

Action in particular is wonderfully fluid and dynamic, rivaling work by Tezuka in it's use of cinematic composition and movement. This issue is less appealing than previous and following issues, a bit more on the dense side of Marvel-style storytelling of the era.

A estas alturas de la vida no voy a descubriros el Daredevil de Frank Miller, pero como me hice de autoregalo por navidad este omnibus americano, que recoge el momento en que Miller se puso al frente de la colección, primero como dibujante y después como guionista, pues habrá que hacerle al menos una pequeña reseña. On the back, a shadowy stylised figure, not much more than a silhouette, representing where - who knows how consciously or unconsciously - Miller's hand wanted to go, and will go from Ronin on.
