daredevil by frank miller & klaus janson omnibus

Even if the middle is near perfection I still think the ending of this Omnibus holds up extremely well too. I won't spoil anything despite this being old but the amount of world building, chaos, and sadness this book contains is awesome. Then Miller introduces the man, the legend, Fisk, into the big picture and things get even more crazy. It's a great issue and only helps set up the big showdown later in the omnibus. While doing so he also gets to showcase Matt's limits and how close he is to letting Bullseye finally die. Then Miller sets up Bullseye and makes him a extremely evil threat. Still, inside her, you can tell she loves him. A woman who once loved Matt, and he loved her, swallowed by grief and rage goes down a much darker path than Matt. Then we get into Frank Miller's world and right away he sets up Elektra in such a intriguing way. While the first few stories here showcase a more fun side of Daredevil and some cool moments with the hulk, they feel very typical superheroish. What really worked well here with the two is both are artist and Frank Miller, when he was on the top of his game, was a hell of a writer/plotter. And by about 7 or 8 issues in he becomes the actual writer of this series while Klaus Janson continues the excellent art with Miller's penciling. But a couple of issues in he becomes a plotter too. So this big ass book, they call those Omnibus, starts off with Frank Miller as actually just a artist. This.I oddly fell in love the second Miller jumped on as head writer. I did read Born again, I did read Man without fear, and while I enjoyed both I didn't love them. I, however, never did read the original Frank Miller run. I've read Bendis legendary run, brubaker, waid, and so on. Well this was the missing link for a long time.
