really liked it

Really more of a 4.5/5, this Daredevil story may be perfect, if I am in the right mood.

I have always been fond of this team, but rarely do I find them more effective than I do here. Daredevil: Yellow is written so beautifully, and, I might add, tactfully, that it feels as refresh and foggy as an autumn rain at the same time. There is a near-perfect marriage between art and text that I feel would allow the book an excellent stand-alone status.

I think what I appreciate most about Yellow is the manner in which they treat the critical deaths of Karen Page and Battlin' Jack Murdoch. So often, killing a character off is a controversial choice, but allowing these characters time for their own voices and not really depicting Karen's eventual demise was an effective and significant emotional experience for me as a reader. Will be getting this for my shelf without a doubt.

Ma'Belle I've never liked Jeph Loeb, and haven't really cared for DD, but this review definitely makes me want to give it a real chance.

Kit Loeb can be extremely hit-or-miss, but I think this book had a good balance compared to a lot of his work. Not too grimdark, not too unrealistic in terms of emotional aspects of the story.

I like Loeb in these more quiet, contained stories, personally. He isn't a big idea person, imho.
