Customer review of: Daredevil: The Devil, Inside and Out, Vol. 1 Customer Rating: Summary: Matt Murdock: "They tried to break me, and maybe even succeeded a bit. Whoever they are, they're going to regret that." Comment: So, this is such a mouth-watering premise: Daredevil in prison, tangling with those he'd put away. Matt Murdock's life had been on a downward spiral for a while now, thanks in large part to writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Alex Maleev. That critically acclaimed creative team has gone, but that's not to imply that things now get rosier for the blind man, with Ed Brubaker (Catwoman Vol. 1: The Dark End of the Street (Batman), Gotham Central Vol. 1: In the Line of Duty (Batman), Immortal Iron Fist Vol. 1: The Last Iron Fist Story (New Avengers)) and Michael Lark (Gotham Central Vol. 1: In the Line of Duty (Batman), Terminal City) taking over the reins in 2006. Far from it! Picking up right where Bendis left off, Brubaker makes a jawdropping debut with "The Devil in Cell-Block D" story arc, which tells of Matt's harrowing time spent at Ryker's Island. Basically, the FBI has incarcerated Matt Murdock for being Daredevil. No hard proof, mind you. Which is part of what makes this storyline so intriguing. Matt - first in Protective Custody, then as behind-the-scenes finagling of his enemies lands him in General Population - is still trying to convince folks that he's not the vigilante of Hell's Kitchen. Somehow, he must find a way to survive while pretending to be helpless and defenseless. Matt runs into various old foes and arch-foes and plenty of scum he himself had put behind bars. The Black Tarantula, Hammerhead, the Owl, the Kingpin...is one of these crime lords the mastermind behind what becomes one of the most tragic events in Matt's life? And, in the aftermath of this tragedy, just how far over the line will the guilt-ridden Daredevil go to get even? In the outside world, someone has taken up the mantle of Daredevil and is policing Hell's Kitchen. Ah, but who? And why? Meanwhile, an old acquaintance of Daredevil's will concern himself with Matt's plight to the point that he gets himself purposely imprisoned at Ryker's. Seriously, this is some of the best Daredevil stories I have ever read, ranking just below Frank Miller's legendary stuff. DAREDEVIL: THE DEVIL, INSIDE AND OUT Vol. 1 collects issues #82-87 of the monthly, which features the 6-part "The Devil in Cell-Block D" story arc. If you like your superhero steeped in brooding and noirish elements, then this one's a must. It's also a pulse-pounding and action-packed prison drama. It's fascinating to watch Matt Murdock as he becomes so, so tempted to simply lose it and cross that line. Plus, there's something electric and thrilling about seeing Matt costume-less and viciously jacking people up. Something visceral and gratifying about it. And I think it's plenty ironic that one of Marvel's longtime, most unabashedly violent characters comes in and tries to steer Matt back into the light. He tells Matt: "You're hurtin' a lot right now, Murdock, with good reason. But you don't want to be me. You needed to remember that." His was a cool guest star appearance. Ed Brubaker knows his Daredevil. I didn't think anyone could adequately follow up on Bendis's great work here, but Brubaker is one hell of a yarnspinner. He knows how to lay down atmosphere and suspense, human drama meshing with bone-crunching action sequences. Bendis is gone, but the Daredevil series hasn't at all missed a beat. Michael Lark handles the art, which is moody and dynamic and perfectly complements Brubaker's gritty, edgy storytelling. In fact, after only the first couple of issues, Lark became my second favorite Daredevil artist of all time (after David Mazzuchelli, who also had an influence on Lark). Now, I've read GOTHAM CENTRAL in the past, which boasted Brubaker as writer and Lark as artist, so I'm not at all surprised that these two guys rock so well together. So, there it is. DAREDEVIL: THE DEVIL, INSIDE AND OUT, Vol. 1 is highly recommended. And, as a neat bonus, this trade paperback also offers up a transcript, four pages' worth, of Brubaker and Lark providing tongue-in-cheek commentary on the artwork for the first five pages of Daredevil #82. So go grab this, yeah? Customer Rating: Summary: The Baton is passed off Excellently! Comment: When Bendis handed off Daredevil to Brubaker, I wasn't sure WHAT to think. Who is this Brubaker fella and why should I care (I had just started reading comics and most names were unknown to me)? After the finale in The Murdock Papers, I was ready to see the new direction that Brubaker would take the series. It is the best Daredevil story I have ever had the pleasure to read. He continues the story and takes his own direction, showing Matt as a man who has almost nothing left, and uses the setting to great effect, showing quiet moments of character work within the boiling hell that is the Raft. The explosive second to last issue of Devil In Cell Block D is the best piece of action comics that I have read in my life, and set a new standard on what you can do with the character. The last issue focusing on Foggy is a good issue, if only for the fact that it involves ninjas (yes, turning off critical faculties for NIJAS. How NERDY). Overall, this is a great beginning to Brubaker's run on the title, and I don't think he's reached this level of quality on anything he's written, except Captain America. Customer Rating: Summary: Graphic SF Reader Comment: Daredevil has finally been busted, and this time for perjury of all things, of lying to the court about being Daredevil. He gets sent to the Big House. Needless to say, he doesn't have a lot of friends among the inmates, although he is not without supporters outside and on the staff. Things will get nasty as those inside try to manipulate this new player to their own ends. A fine Daredevil arc. Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding Kickoff Story! Comment: This book takes Daredevil off in an exciting new direction and is a terrific jump off from the BMB storyline that preceded it. I highly recommend it to those who have been following the story since DD was brought back from the dead by Kevin Smith. Customer Rating: Summary: Wow. Comment: Holy cow...! Brian Michael Bendis' long run on "Daredevil" was a highwater mark for the superhero genre, and a tough act to follow. In this seething prison drama, writer Ed Brubaker matches the intensity of the Bendis story arc, and then some. Matt Murdoch is in Rykers Island prison, where a mix of super-powered and super-bad convicts can't wait to get their hands on him. Every claustrophobic prison flick you've seen is evoked, and all the tension and fear and adrenaline serves to show, once again, what a gnarly fighter DD actually is. Following in Frank Miller's footsteps, Bendis and Brubaker have made a bid to elevate DD from second-class status into the same kind of brooding urban uber-warrior that Batman became, and they have succeeded wildly. This volume, which gathers issues #82-87, is one of the most intense, tightly scripted comicbook stories you're likely to read, a real nailbiter, and another big step forward in the Daredevil saga. Highly recommended!
Editorial Reviews: The critically acclaimed, award-winning new creative team of Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark make their explosive debut in a storyline that Daredevil fans will not be able to put down! For the past few years, Matt Murdock's life has been teetering on the edge of destruction. Now, pushed beyond the limit, Matt finds himself behind the eight ball with no clear way out, the people he calls friends slowly deserting him, and Hell's Kitchen gradually slipping out of control. The question is, when his back is against the wall, just how far will Daredevil go to get back what is his? Spinning out of the stunning finale of Bendis and Maleev's ground-breaking run, Brubaker and Lark pick up the billy club and run as hard and as fast as they can to leave their own mark on one of comics' most enduring legends. Longtime DD fans will not be disappointed! Collects Daredevil #82-87.
