Re: a query (for science!)

Daredevil has traditionally been quite dark in tone, at least for the last couple of decades. There's a lot of death and psychological breakdowns in Matt's past. Waid's version is a lot lighter, and the art is a lot lighter too.

i.e Take this cover from very recently

And compare it to stuff like

Huge difference in tone.

NA, but wow that first cover has my interest. If I wanted to jump in mostly for Kirsten McDuffie, and to understand whatever's going on, where would the best place to start?

I think you'd want to start here:

http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Vol-1-Mark-Waid/dp/0785152385

Full discloser - I've read the first dozen issues of Mark Waid's run, but it was a while ago and my memory is terrible. So I don't remember when Kirsten McDuffie is introduced, but I think it's near the beginning. Even if she isn't, this is a good starting place. It's great storytelling and wonderful art.

I just checked my copy, and Kirsten is introduced in Waid's very first issue. So yeah, vol 1 is the place to start. It's a great read and Kirsten is a fun character.

Anon who asked where to start: Thank you! I have it and I was in love from the moment they opened with Matt just hanging out on the side of a church. This is the good stuff.

DA- Yay, I'm glad you're enjoying it! There's an issue not too far in with snow and a bus full of kids that just does things to my heart. I think I stopped shortly after that (no particular reason, I'm just in the middle of so many comics) but I really need to pick it up again. I think this will give me the push to do so!

DA

The bus full of kids issue was where I really fell in love with this run. So fantastic.
