This was...good. This is kind of a odd book because it's pretty uplifting most of it. Yes, it's a retelling of Matt's origins or first few months as Daredevil but a lot...happier? Basically after pops is killed Matt decides to become Daredevil. Odd enough he's much older in this version when his father dies and he seeks out vengeance through stopping crime.

This volume really focuses on Matt as a character. He seems more sure of himself, he seems happier (which is weird if you know Matt), and his love interest, Karen, comes off way more...nice? Or happy? It's just a very odd retelling. Almost to try to get a new audience in. Someone who is not familiar with Daredevil.

What I liked: I thought the pacing was pretty good. Broken up enough that you get there's time skips but not huge ones. I also enjoyed the cute interaction between Karen and Matt. I thought the fights were fairly entertaining too and the art was all pretty nice.

What I didn't like: The tone felt off. I get Matt and his pretty shitty life could be tough to read through with Frank, Bendis, and then Ed's run. But man...it's so fucking good. This just fails to live up to those. Also the unneeded change to Karen and Matt's upbringing felt odd. People could still respect and like Karen without her being that way or Matt losing his father as a child. It kind of ruined the history that Frank set up.

Overall it's a decent book to read. you'll enjoy it more I feel if you don't like the darker side of Daredevil or never read him. However, this would not be my number one suggestion for DD. Just a short visit and it'll probably be forgotten.
