Review # 170: "Elektra Lives Again"

And here I was thinking I had every Frank Miller "Daredevil" story. "Elektra Lives Again" is an overlooked piece, taking years to move from concept to print. While details are scarce, it's believed that it was put together before the 1987 publishing of Miller's best story "Born Again." Daredevil's housing depiction seems to point in that direction. However, the story was not released until 1990.

Review # 156: "Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Vol. 3"

I'm almost at a loss when it comes to talking about the third volume of Frank Miller and Klaus Janson's run on "Daredevil." Volume two is just so damn good that I feel like I have nothing left to say.

Review # 155: "Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Vol. 2"

The second part of Frank Miller and Klaus Janson's epic "Daredevil" run is without a doubt its zenith. It is within these pages that the two really start to push the envelope artistically, relying a lot more on the images to tell a story. For a company that spent decades using words to over-describe its own action, it's a marvel - pun intended - that this art team was able to break that mold.

Review # 151: "Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Vol. 1"

I've gone at length before about how Frank Miller's work on "Daredevil" does not get enough recognition, mainly due to the name value of the title character. But it's worth saying again: he may have done his best work on that property, particularly when you consider that he was great from the start.

Review # 118: "Daredevil - End of Days"

An unfortunate truth about superheroes is that their stories never end. They can't even die. With every passing comes the anticipation of resurrection. As long as popular heroes continue to sell, their return is necessary.

Review # 102: "Daredevil - The Man Without Fear"

I have no idea who to attribute the quote to, but when someone said that Frank Miller gained great success from turning Daredevil into a psychotic version of Batman before moving on to turn Batman into a psychotic version of Batman, that person was bang on. What Miller did for Bats in "The Dark Knight Returns," he did for Daredevil first in "The Elektra Saga" and "Born Again." Unfortunately, by the time "Batman: Year One" came out it was almost as if Miller's run on Daredevil never happened. He's credited always as "Frank Miller, author of 'Sin City,' '300' and 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns,'" omitting the title where he arguably did his best work.

Review # 81: "Elektra: Assassin"

Start with "The Dark Knight Returns." Mix in "Born Again." Then add a mishmash of drugs even Toronto Mayor Rob Ford wouldn't touch and you get "Elektra: Assassin."

Review # 33: "Daredevil by Bendis and Maleev Ultimate Collection Vol. 3"

Brian Michael Bendis reached his peak in volume two of this set and is due for a comedown in volume three as his run concludes. Fortunately, the "Daredevil" narrative does not fall far.
