Daredevil By Frank Miller Companion Omnibus Review

An overview and discussion of this Marvel Omnibus collection featuring classic stories written by Frank Miller including Daredevil Born Again, and The Man Without Fear!

I really like Bill Sienkiewicz when he was channeling Neal Adams in his early work on Moon Knight. I'm with you on his more experimental stuff. It just doesn't vibe with me. Also with John Romita Jr. He used to have that Marvel-house style like his dad, but then slowly shifted away. I understand artists are gonna grow, and develop in different ways, but sometimes I think some guys were better when they didn't go so "off script".

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I'm generally all for artists trying different things and getting experimental, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But yeah in the case of Sienkiewicz here and on Elektra Assassin...it absolutely didn't work for me

The main run is solicited for Jan. next year. No news about the companion yet but I'm sure they're going to release that as well.
Just a suggestion: It'll be great if you could put the contents of the omnis at the bottom of the screen.

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Thanks for confirming about the reprint, and I'll keep the suggestion in mind!

read both of frank miler omnibus and loved it, my only gripe with the companion omnibus is the 131 pages of extras, that is so criminal, while I appreciate extras in books. that is so much 'non reading' material for the price that it is, I fear the same with the John Constantine delano omnibus slated for later this year is that it is 1584 pages and is seemingly gonna contain hundreds of pages of extras and cost $195 CAD uggghhhh! (sorry had to rant lol)

[@TheComicBookTrove]

I get it, the Miracleman omnibus is another example of a book that has arguably too many extras, at least half of it is bonus stuff

[@nitromax576]

Thanks

[@kurumais]

its one of the best storylines of all time. the art is just beautiful. i would have loved to have seen miller mazzuchelli on cap

[@TheComicBookTrove]

That would've been interesting to see

[@waza987]

Is the companion worth it without the main omnibus? The main is currently not available but companion is.

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Yeah definitely, it's a separate set of stories with the highlight being Born Again which is one of the greatest Daredevil stories

We uploaded our reviews for this on the same day, people are going to think there’s a conspiracy 😄

[@TheComicBookTrove]

Haha weird, I guess it was just a Daredevil kinda day in both our minds!

[@SuperFlyComicsGuy]

Must have been, but then again I suppose every day is a DD kind of day 🙂
