Product Description
During a character-defining run, Brian Michael Bendis crafted a pulp-fiction narrative that exploited the Man Without Fear's rich tapestry of characters and psychodrama, and resolved them in an incredibly nuanced, modern approach. Earning an Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series, Bendis and artist Alex Maleev restored Daredevil to a luster worthy of the all-time greats. In this volume, Bendis and Maleev's run comes to a blistering conclusion with a Daredevil/Black Widow team-up that takes an interesting turn; untold tales of Hell's Kitchen past and present; and the return of Wilson Fist, the Kingpin of Crime! Collects Daredevil #61-81, Daredevil: Ninja #1-3, and What If? Karen Page.

Awesome writing January 27, 2010
M. Patel (Phoenix, AZ)
This is an amazing story arc that is extremely well-written and Bendis does not take any cheap shortcuts to resolve the storyline. It's as realistic an approach to superhero writing as you are likley to find in the medium.

If you've picked up the first Daredevil Omnibus by BMB and Alex Maleev then you know what to expect and i don't have to tell you of the quality this holds...even though i just told you. I don't really want to give away any plot, but like the first omnibus they manage to make decisions on the character that not only show how they've given the character the breath of fresh air he needed, but keep it coming, and do not let up, and this goes on till the final page! I also want to mention that Amazon incorrectly lists this as including Daredevil: Ninja 1-3 when it includes Ultimate Marvel Team-Up 6-8 which is also written by BMB, but has nothing to do with the major underlining story in this book. Its a great bonus though, and also the other extra of 'What If Karen Page Had Lived?' is a great what if tale, and art by the one who succeeds Alex's run. Brian and Alex manage to out do themselves with every issue in this beautifully put together collection, and if you have any hesitation while being on this page about picking this up...don't Buy this now before you regret the fact its out of print like the first omnibus volume.

The run of Brian Michael Bendis (New Avengers, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, whatever other else Marvel event you can think of) on Daredevil is undoubtedly only surpassed by Frank Miller's legendary defining arcs on the title, and this second Omnibus collecting the second half of Bendis' run is proof positive alone. In the issues collected here, we witness a breakdown-suffering Matt Murdock take a look into his past and his first encounter with the original Kingpin of crime, who has just made a comeback. Also featured here is a team-up with Black Widow (and the use of Punisher villain Jigsaw in a quite humerous way) and the return of Wilson Fisk, whose grand plan to take down Daredevil comes to fruition and Bendis' run concludes in a shocker of a way. Though Ed Brubaker managed to pick up great right where Bendis left off, Bendis managed to truly "get" Daredevil like many others writers have failed to do, as well as put to use some great supporting characters. A majority of the artwork in this Omnibus is by Alex Maleev, whose moody renderings have never failed to impress during Bendis' run. All in all, just like the first Omnibus before it, this second Omnibus of Brian Michael Bendis' run on Daredevil is wholeheartedly worth adding to your library if you missed out before.
