Summary: Loeb & Sale Do it Again!!
Comment: Sweet mercy! Nothing can stop the creative team of Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale! Every book they've ever done is nothing short of a hit. Few writers in the comics business manage to make the characters sound as authentic as Jeph Loeb can. As always, the characters' dialogue was well-written and thoughtful but still sounded realistic. And Tim Sale's cartoony/realistic hybrid style of art was just gorgeous, helped here by the colorist, Hollingsworth.
The framing sequence of each of the 6 chapters is Matt (Daredevil) Murdock writing letters to Karen Page as he re-examines his past. We see the beginnings of his tenure as the costumed hero Daredevil, back when he wore the Yellow costume. There's such a great human tone to the whole story. We, the readers, can justify and rationalize doing what Murdock does. We can easily believe that losing your father to a two-bit con-man may make a strong, trained man don a costume, even if this man is blind.
The few guest-stars in this book (including the Fantastic Four, Electro, and the Owl,) seem well placed and not shoe-horned in.
I've said it several times before. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale could very easily write a mini-series about a head of cabbage and I'd buy it and enjoy it. I recommend this book without any reservations. You won't be sorry.

Summary: An Outstanding Retelling of the Daredevil Origins
Comment: Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale have produced another great book, but this time they deal with Daredevil and his origins. In particular, they bring back the yellow union suit and retell they story on how Daredevil went from Yellow to all red.
The book is a retelling because the authors do not go back to Matt Murdock's (Daredevil) childhood like Frank Miller did in his 1993 epic "The Man Withot Fear." The story gives enough background for a newcomer can follow the story. The authors intent seems to be to deal with the entire Karen Page episode and the values of doing the right thing that his father instilled in him.
The dialogue and artwork are great and the story moves quickly and enjoyably. This story deals with Daredevil coming to terms in regards to Karen's death and he travels back to the time he met her. I do prefer Miller's origins story. It is slower, more detialed, and much more psychological, but this does not in anyway should take away from Loeb and Sale's book.
A fun book and a must for us Daredevil fans.

Summary: Daredevil ; Yellow
Comment: Well I've just got round to reading it and thoroughly enjoyed it . DD has probably been , over the years , my favourite solo Marvel character . From his launch , through the glorious Colan years , and then the revitalisation under McKenzie , Miller and laterly Smith and Bendis.
I think Frank Miller did the definitive origin of his version in the Man Without Fear book but for us old-timers this is the origin of the character we were first introduced to by Stan , Bill and Wally which would later lead us to the swashbuckling Romita and Colan version.
Going back and expanding on Stan's origin , and the artwork too , especially , turned back the clock to those days I'd cycle round looking for tha latest issues in the local newsagents.
I don't think there's too many heroes out there who have had two such great books written in recent years re-telling their origin as DD.
