If you like Daredevil, Frank Miller or stories strong in character development, this is one of the best. A lot of what happens in the Daredevil Netflix show came from these stories (my opinion, not any insight into the writers of those shows). The book contains Daredevil issues 158 thru 191 (minus issue 162 - not a Miller issue and not really needed for the storyline). It also includes What If 28 (Matt Murdock is an Agent of SHIELD). The end of the book contains some interviews, artwork, thumbnails and color guides for issue 190. Standard end of collection items. Some of the artwork is by Frank Miller. I'm not going to say he is a great artist, but he is a good artist, and his style it fits very well with his writing style. Klaus Jansen's artwork is better than Miller's, but with enough similarity that it looks like one artist. The stories involve a lot more of Matt Murdock's history (learning from Stick, meeting Elektra), Kingpin and Ninja and the Hand related stories. The book itself is nice and large. You will need to rest it in your lap or on a table to read it (large and heavy). I don't know if the pages are glued but the binding looks very stable. There is really no gutter loss at all. Most pages have a white border so none of the artwork gets into the gutter. If you own any Absolute books, this is a smaller book. But still a nice size. The only minor complaint I had was the dust jacket. No problem reading the book, but once into the middle of the book, closing it would cause the dust jacket to move and potentially get a crease. This is most likely a problem with any book with a dust jacket, I just found it annoying to adjust every time I read and I started taking it off when reading. Overall, this book easily falls into my top 5 of all time best collections. Review: a treasure and a beauty - This is what I Was Hoping For...Huge, Amazing, and Worth every Penny. I've been told that so long as I own "Born Again", and "The Man Without Fear", this would complete Millers most essential Daredevil run. This isn't just a great Omni-Bus...it's a thing of Beauty and something that, if you decide to order it, you will treasure and be proud of it.It's Binded well, and the pages are shining with great art...and printer ink...This being over 800 pgs. I loved how each comic/chapter begins with the crisp great artwork from the monthly comic covers ('79-'81, I believe). All of the Covers and a healthy amount of extra art makes this Timeless. Notice I haven't even got to the story line and Content. the book's presence alone is staggering. I am a Miller fan...I Wasn't a Daredevil Fan until buying "Born Again" when I Seen Franks name on there. I Was instantly a DD fan and ordered this 1st to get it out of the way what with the price and all. "the Man w/o Fear" by Miller is no more than 20 bucks. I'm just saying, got it out of the way and I'd of paid twice if I'd of had to. The story lines, twists, turns and what-not are all well Written and Drawn, essential to DD fans and it filled me in on many things I didn't know about w/in the Marvel Universe. I maintain a collection of Graphic Novels that I've grown proud and more than fond of, but this will probably be the Diamond of them all, possibly forever. Mind you, I only owned "Born Again" before I gambled paying for this, I didn't have a real clue on Daredevil but Frank Miller changed all that...so if you're like me and think, "I love Frank Miller's work but this thing is Expensive and I don't think I like Daredevil", No Worries...it's Frank Miller and that being said, as per usual, it's freakin' Awesome! Mabye Start with Miller's "Born Again". It will have you happy to pay the price of this omni-bus after you've gotten hip to the WOW factor and F.M.'s personal DD interpretation.

The Omni Buy Without Fear
This is a must have Omni for a Daredevil fan. Frank Millers essential Daredevil run. No it doesn’t have Born Again or The Man Without Fear graphic novels, but it’s literally every other Frank Miller Daredevil issue you could want collected within. The color printing and reproduction of the comics are amazing quality with deep, rich colors. Iconic frames and cover art. Absolutely worth it. And the hardcover front/back art under the dust cover is awesome too, shame there’s no picture of that in the listing.

Una etapa que llevó al título a su máximo punto. Elementos clásicos llevados a otro nivel; así como el debut de nuevos personajes, que se convirtieron en indispensables en el pequeño universo de Daredevil.

The best part on this whole thing is the price. The delivery was also quick. The only thing that Amazon could improve is the quality of the packing. It came in a yellow envelope with very little protection except for the bubble wrap. Luckily the book came with no visible damage.

Great stuff! You can almost smell the night's air in Hell's Kitchen.

Muy buena ediciòn, con encuadernación holandesa, con punto de lectura, y el papel de gran calidad, una etapa mítica de Daredevil del maestro Miller.
