So I just finished Daredevil: The Man without Fear by Frank Miller and John Romita Jr. Both artists work really well together and Miller is still on his A-Game before he went completely nuts.

You can really tell that the Netflix show took alot of inspiration from this book without completely copying it so they are alot of surprises if you have seen the show. Its a great origin for the character that dives into who the character is an what makes him tick.

I thought it was a bit too dark. I mean, yeah, Daredevil gets dark later in his career, but he was a bit more of a swashbuckler at first. You don't really see that in the miniseries.

I still liked it. But it's not my favorite Daredevil story.

I never read much Daredevil so all I know him from are pretty much his live action outings and the Mark Waid run.

I liked the darker tone of the story overall when seen as its own story. It fit the context and was well rounded. Obviously it clashes with other portrayals of Daredevil who showcased his earlier years more as a swashbuckler like you mentioned.

That's a good way to describe all of his Daredevil work.

He was so unintentionally hilarious on his debut.

The thing is that like many other characters that changed tone as they evolved, that dark tone is the one most closely associated with Matt, his life is hell, his enemies are monsters, he suffers more than his peers, but he reamins a good person.

Most DD stories are like the show and that comic in tone, though not necessarily in graphic violence.

Artists are seemingly slowly beginning to tease books for All New All Different Marvel they are working on.

Given the logo its probably Brock. I would be fine with it if Flash keeps his symbiote which is the most likely scenario at this point.

Especially given the fact that there exists a Venom symbiote in the Ultimate Universe that could end up in the new Universe after Secret Wars.
