In my review of Essential Daredevil Vol. 4 I said that I really didn't enjoy Gerry Conway's writing, and that his run on the series was hard for me to get through. It's not that his plots were terrible, but his purple prose just made reading the issues sort of a chore.Well, ditto for Steve Gerber, who took over for Conway, and for the most part I read Essential Daredevil Vol. 5 just to get through it. Late in this collection Bob Brown and Tony Isabella took over, and they're not great, but their...
One of the better Daredevil collections. Steve Gerber's run was great. He and Steve Englehart are some of Marvel's best writers of the period.
‘Essential Daredevil Volume 5’ could more honestly be titled ‘Essential Daredevil And The Black Widow’ because the lovely Natasha Romanov features heavily. Her loveliness varies slightly according to which artist is drawing her but she always looks pretty damn good in her skin-tight black leather. Of course, Matt Murdock/Daredevil is a right-on seventies man here and would love her just as much if she was a one-eyed hunchback because it’s the character that counts. Luckily, this is never really
I don't know, at times it seems like a pretty decent, fun read, and times it seems boring. In fact, it seems like the two sensations are very closely linked.Some storylines are interesting to read with either extreme complications or interesting villains.

My favorite character is Ivan, Black Widow's chauffeur-slash-butler-slash-baby-sitter. This era of comics is just not my cup of tea because unlike many, I never read them growing up. Thus, I can't appreciate their 'charm.' There are some funny moments and I'm glad I read it because I love Daredevil/Black Widow, but overall I am a fan of the art and writing style of more modern comics.
