Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Jason Omnibus (New Printing)

Product Information

Frank Miller's spellbinding scripts and pulse-pounding pencils mark one of Daredevil's greatest eras - but will the Kingpin and Bullseye's efforts rob the Man Without Fear of everything he holds dear? This run signalled a change in the winds of the comic landscape. A slight breeze had now come over it and Miller was creating it. On his Daredevil run, he broke the mold that had been the standard on marvel. His stories had depth, something that Marvel was struggling to find. The template was to have the hero meet the villain and for the villain to go to jail after a bit of a romp. Frank Miller didn’t do that. He made a villain who was too powerful and rich to go to jail. The template was not to let stories spill over into the next issue too much. Frank Miller used every issue he had on this run to tie into the last one he wrote and made everything connected. The breeze in the comic landscape was truly blowing and in a few years when The Dark Knight Return came out, that breeze would turn into a tornado. Edition - 1st printing. Collects Daredevil (1964-1998 1st Series) #158-161 and #163-191, and What If? (1977-1984 1st Series) #28. Recopilación de la etapa de daredevil dibujada por Frank Miller... en los inicios de esta etapa Miller comenzó dibujando los guiones de Roger McEnzie, tras unos cuantos números de adaptación pasó a hacerse cargo del guión y los lápices siendo entintado por Klaus Janson, Miller y Janson desarrollaron un estilo muy adecuado y efectivo para la serie que les proporcionó un gran éxito, al final de esta etapa Miller fue delegando en la parte gráfica, parcela en la que Janson iría ganando más peso cada vez. So this big ass book, they call those Omnibus, starts off with Frank Miller as actually just a artist. But a couple of issues in he becomes a plotter too. And by about 7 or 8 issues in he becomes the actual writer of this series while Klaus Janson continues the excellent art with Miller's penciling. What really worked well here with the two is both are artist and Frank Miller, when he was on the top of his game, was a hell of a writer/plotter.

Daredevil Omnibus HC (2023 Marvel 4th Edition) By Frank

Este tochazo rompeespaldas es, para aquellos interesados en el personaje, el punto donde el Daredevil que todos conocemos toma forma. 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. Esta etapa es también importante porque marca un antes y un después ya no solo para el personaje, sino también para el autor y para el género de superhéroes en general. Este tomo, pues, es un trozo de historia que conviene leer, al menos, una vez en la vida. Also note that, before Miller came along, the Daredevil comic was floundering on the edge of cancellation. Not only did Miller re-invent horn head, he literally saved his very existence.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. Interpersonal relationships were well explored and less lionizing than the typical superhero fare which I appreciated as well. The final issue of Miller's original Daredevil run is a standalone story, but it concludes Daredevil's rivalry with Bullseye after the previous issue wrapped up Elektra's story. Matt, seemingly broken by the past few months of his life, plays Russian Roulette with the paralyzed Bullseye, telling the story of how the revolver ended up in his hands. As with most Omnibus focused on a creator, the reader will need to get through a few issues where the creator (Frank Miller) plays a smaller roll, but when Miller is given position of "Writer" the story begins to take off within a few issues. Miller begins his own process of what a few Marvel writers before had true success with; an continuing interlaced story from issue to issue, rather than each issue being a "villain of the week."

I won't spoil anything despite this being old but the amount of world building, chaos, and sadness this book contains is awesome. Even if the middle is near perfection I still think the ending of this Omnibus holds up extremely well too. Getting close to the end Matt becomes more joking, but not over the top, and it's refreshing. The fights can be brutal as hell, but also over the top and silly like Stiltman fight. The very last issue too is great, and a good deconstruction on superheroes.The artwork of this leaves something to be desired. It's by no means horrible, but it could've been much better. Some of the artwork in this is just outright goofy. This issue starts with young Miller experimenting with one of his future tropes: narration by tv screens! Ok, so I liked this, I just didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Miller's Daredevil run is one of the most lauded, most hyped runs of any character, at least in my experience anyway. To say I was going into this expecting something special would have been an understatement. I'd had the book for months and was holding onto it for a special occasion. Waiting for that moment when I needed a guaranteed winner to wash the taste of mediocrity out of my mouth. Did this book suffer from my ungodly level of expectation... maybe... probably... almost certainly. It's still pretty bloody good though.
