A gangster learns the secret identity of a super hero. It's technically good, but nowhere near interesting enough to make up for the relentless misery. I felt similarly about the TV show, so maybe this character just isn't for me. (Because I don't hate the world?)

I bought this when I was designing a graphic art book which I used for conveying complex information in Austrade. (I was not the graphic Artist but came upon with the concepts and actually used some ideas from here. The quality of the graphic art in this comic is exceptional. Very creative. Unfortunately, I'm now in the position of having to downsize my library and this book is one of the casualties. Pity but I won't be using it. I give it three stars. ( )

I liked this a lot -- Miller has just the right sense of the characters (although Karen Page's plot is gross), and Mazzuchelli is perfect for this, maybe even better Han the work he did with Miller on Batman: Year One. Worth seeking out. ( )

When there is a well-plotted plan to destroy your reputation, career, home, loved ones... and then your life... when do get desperate, and when do you go mad? Matt Murdoch becomes 'a man without hope'... and a man without hope,'is a man without fear.'

Beautiful work, still some of the best writing and art in the history of comics.

The one criticism, is the Nuke character, which is not far removed the Rambo concept. Not necessarily a bad idea, just a stretch in plot, in order to include Captain America. ( )

Borrowed it from the public library.
