Amazon.com Review:
In 1981, a young Frank Miller took the reins of a second-class superhero, Daredevil, and turned the comics world on its ear with a dynamic, cinematic storytelling style, complicated characters, and unusual (for the time) devices such as first-person narrative. Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller, Vol. 2 covers issues 168-182, when Miller took over the writing (he had already been doing the pencils; Klaus Janson did the inks) and pitted DD against Spider-Man's archrival the Kingpin, super assassin Bullseye, the ninja group the Hand, and a brand-new character, Elektra, a bounty hunter/assassin who also happened to be Matt Murdock's former lover. Issue 181, the showdown between Bullseye and Elektra, is still one of the most memorable single issues in comics. --David Horiuchi

This second volume, part of the 3-volume Daredevil Visionaries series, includes "Daredevil Gang war" and puts the total output of Frank Miller's run on Daredevil into context.
Elektra is an excellent character. Her involvement with the ninja Hand clan is also interesting. Her fight scene with kirigi was also quite well done. I did find DD's involvement with ninja mojo Stick to be too contrived. Suddenly everyone is into ninja stuff.
Overall, OK but the artwork looks dated. ... Read More

For those of you who have only experienced Frank Miller's writings in the form of the ultra-violent, zero character driven "Sin City" or the literary wasteland that is "All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder" then I am here to tell you that ol' Frank was good...once upon a time in a magical land known as the 1980's. This was a time when Miller took a second rate Spider-Man and transformed him into an even better version of Batman. A character with flaws, prone to violence, but who also had actual human ...

What can I say, Frank Miller is simply the Best writer/artist in the comic book industry. This book contains the very best Daredevil stories ever written and drawn, period. Comics don't get much better than this. The dialog is crisp and the artwork is stunning. Few people can draw the human body like Miller. Do yourself a favor, buy it and enjoy it.

Just before Frank Miller on Daredevil: The series was bi-monthly and in danger of cancellation; Marv Wolfman had created a villain with potential called Bullseye, but Wolfman's run on Daredevil was not his finest work, and even the Bullseye stories seemed silly; the Daredevil series was being used to introduce new superheroes like Torpedo, who fizzled, and Paladin, who remains a somewhat popular supporting Marvel character, but what of Daredevil himself? The character was having the same old adventures, ... Read More

I used to think daredevil was the lamest hero. Eventually, I started getting into the Bendis/Maleev MK books and was hooked. Then I ran into this collection and am convinced that Frank Miller did this book right as soon as he took over the writing. The storyline is complex and completely envelopes you. The final issue when DD accepts that Elektra is dead made me believe that heroes are human too. I tried reading later issues of Daredevil, but Bendis/Maleev are the only team to come close to this level.
