This will make you a True Believer,
By
This review is from: Daredevil Volume 3: Wake Up TPB (Paperback)
They didn't make comic books like this when I was a kid. Coming back into the realm of comic book reading only last year, after a too-long hiatus in the serious world of "grown-ups", I was amazed and delighted to find how wonderful this genre could be. The Daredevil movie prompted me to seek out the title again, and one of the first I read was the Brian Michael Bendis/David Mack "Wake Up" trade paperback. The brilliant storytelling and the unmatched artwork had me spellbound. The story that jumped off the pages at me was unlike anything I had ever seen between the covers of a comic book. Timmy's plight and the way the doggedly determined Ben Urich sought to find the hidden answers were graphically depicted in the most beautiful watercolor illustrations and child-like crayon drawings, interspersed with what I had always thought of as "comic book art". David Mack's photorealistic renderings make the saga heart-wrenching, while Bendis's scripting takes the Man Without Fear to new heights, and gives us the ultimate moment of tenderness between a boy and his hero. Never thought a comic book could make me cry. Bendis's prose and Mack's art are wonderful together. If you haven't seen this team in action, you are missing a treat.

Great Storyline, and Great Artwork,
By A Customer
This review is from: Daredevil Volume 3: Wake Up TPB (Paperback)
I got introduced to this comic through my interest in David Mack, I've been an avid fan of Kabuki for a few years now. The storyline and artwork in this comic are phenomenal. At first it just appears to be a story based around a child being traumatized, by seeing Daredevil dispatch a villain. But there is a very dramatic twist, and I was thoroughly immersed in this comic by the second issue. If you're a fan of David Mack, might I suggest the TPB Daredevil: Parts of a Whole. David Mack writes the story, and Joe Quesada and David Ross are the illustrators.

A Tough Tale Of Child-Abuse.,
By Daniel V. Reilly (Upstate New York, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daredevil Volume 3: Wake Up TPB (Paperback)
In Wake Up, Daredevil takes a back seat to one of my all-time favorite supporting characters in the Marvel Universe- Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich.The story is deceptively simple: Urich, assigned to cover the trial of The Kingpin (This story takes place simultaneously with the previous DD collection, Parts of a Hole, but is free-standing, and requires no knowledge of that story..), instead becomes obsessed with a darker, more personal story: Low-level career criminal Leap-Frog has vanished, and his young son, Timmy, has gone into a state of shock. He draws pictures of Daredevil, Leap-Frog, and a mysterious character, "Fury", battling each other...As Urich explores the connections between Timmy's condition, Leap-Frog's disappearance, and Daredevil, the shocking truth emerges.... David Mack's art is stunning, and Brian Michael Bendis contributes some of his most thought-provoking scripting ever. The only problem I had is Urich's flashbacks of Elektra and The Kingpin. I've been a fan of Daredevil since I was a child, so I got all of the refrences; Newer readers would just be confused. Maybe an afterword explaining these sequences would make the story more new-reader friendly. Otherwise, this is one of the best Daredevil stories, no, make that the best STORIES, I've read in a good long while. Highly recommended!
