Product Description
During a character-defining run, Brian Michael Bendis crafted a pulp-fiction narrative that exploited the Man Without Fear's rich tapestry of characters and psychodrama, and resolved them in an incredibly nuanced, modern approach. Now, this Eisner Award-winning run is collected across three titanic trade paperbacks! In this volume, witness the Kingpin's downfall at the hands of Sammy Silke and see how a down-on-his-luck FBI agent can change Matt's life forever. Collects Daredevil #16-19 & #26-40.

Three Great Stories in One Book July 30, 2010
DC_Fan_52 (Texas)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As my name can attest I'm not a "Marvel Fan." I got into Daredevil when I heard about Frank Miller's character defining run from the early 80s. I loved Frank Miller's Daredevil, but wanted to find a newer Daredevil story to place besides my Frank Miller Omnibus. My search pointed me to Daredevil by Brian Michelle Bendis as the newest, greatest Daredevil writer. The only thing that was left was getting a hold of the books.
Brian Michael Bendis run on Daredevil has been released multiple times, in 9 softcover, 5 hardcovers, and 2 Omnibuses (Omnibi?). But, the hardcovers are Out of Print and the Omnibuses are ridiculously expensive. So, you might want to buy the original softcovers or just get this three-in-one collection.
This book contains Daredevil Vol. 3: Wake Up, Daredevil Vol. 4: Underboss, and Daredevil Vol. 5: Out. There will be three of these "Ultimate Volumes" in total, and I can easily tell that Bendis is setting up some stuff that he will pay off in the long run. Consider this Part 1 of a Trilogy because this sets up Daredevil's new status-quo. One thing that comes out of no-where is that the Kingpin is blind. Sometime before this book takes place, someone blinded Wilson Fisk. That said, it doesn't really bug me not knowing what happened, that's just the nature of comic book storytelling. I can roll with the punches.
The first story "Wake Up" bugged me slightly, not because of it's subject matter, but the surreal art they chose to use. I found it distracting from the story. I'd advise to skip reading "Wake Up" until you've read the other two stories in the book to enhance your enjoyment of the book. "Underboss" is finely written and the real start of BMB's run on Daredevil. It has some dark, gritty art to match the subject matter. Someone is trying to kill the Kingpin, and it goes steadily out of control. It's great. Then it all pours into some aftermath in "Out." "Out" has a noticeably lighter art-style, and leaves us in suspence of where Bendis is taking Daredevil.
Oh, yeah, and Spiderman makes a guest appearance for about one chapter to help a fellow Manhattanite out.
I'm happy to have these in my collection and can't wait to get Volumes 2 & 3.
