Daredevil

 Daredevil (Marvel Comics)

After the events of the horrible crossover storyline Shadowland, it seemed that, after decades of high-quality stories, Daredevil was headed towards a nose-dive. Thnakfully, Marvel relaunched the series immediately after that debacle with writer Mark Waid, who has brought a completely different tone and flavor to the book.


Shying away from the gritty stories of the Frank Miller and Brian Michael Bendis days, Waid injected new life into Daredevil by bringing him back to his swashbuckling roots. Aided by two of the best artists in the industry, Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin, Waid’s Daredevil revival has reminded us that it’s perfectly acceptable for a comic to tone down violence and gore in favor of tight storytelling and superhero action. 


There's a sense of creativity and whimsy that permeates every panel of Daredevil, a quality often only found in indie comics. Waid's book isn’t just the best Marvel comic, nor is it simply the best superhero comics; it’s simply the best title on stands today.
