Posted: Feb 05, 2005 3:59 am Post subject: Can I just jump in Bendis' Daredevil comics? Help! |
|
|
Hi,
I am new to the boards, but I am a huge fan who has become a big comic fan within the past few years. I was looking at the Daredevil comics done first my Kevin Smith, then by Mack, and then Bendis, and am interested in reading, because I like the Daredevil and love Bendis, but they do not appear as the other "Ultimate" lines. Can I begin with Smith's beginning of the Daredevils and understand what am I reading, or whould I need to begin somewhere else?
Thanks very much |

well...
They're not ultimates so u dont have to worry about ultimate Continuity.
I began with reading the Miller stuff. Daredevil Visionaries, Born Again, and Man Without Fear (all in trade format)
From there, I had a pretty good understanding of DD then went right into the K Smith book. I would suggest getting the hardcovers online at Tales of Wonder, because they are only like $40 for the first 3 hardcovers, which is a pretty darn good deal. (about a dollar a comic for GREAT quality work)
From there, just start to read the rest of DD, and then in about a year (less now) Bendis will be done with DD, (unless he ends up showing up in another Bendis written book (WINK) _________________ Formerly Boondocksaint

WELCOME!
you can start with Kevin Smith's and still understand (the whole series was brought back to issue 1, specifically to bring in new readers), however there's a lot of good Daredevil stuff before the Smith arc, specifically the Frank Miller Daredevil, available in the "Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller" trades (3 volumes)... also pick up "Daredevil: Born Again", also by Frank Miller, another great story... _________________

Welcome here!
I think you can read any of those stories and get a sense of what's going on.
Bendis' DD is a classic.
It won't be hard to find any of those stories from this new launch of DD in trades. |

The Golden Age arc is hitting trades in a couple months I believe. VERY worth your money and time. If you can find the issues right now that would be awesome. This is my favorite arc that Bendis has done. Maleev's art is friggin brillant.
Welcome to the madness btw!
