Daredevil: Guardian Devil

I know Kevin Smith hasn't written a lot of comics but they never bad. There's a lot of Smith references in it but who put at least some part of themselves in their work. It's a wonderful addition to the dare devil anthology. Has quite a few twist and the art work is on point. Highly recommend.

I can see where some peopleWould think this was a little wordy but I really liked this book. I have gotten into daredevil since the Netflix show and I have to say i really enjoy it

book has great art and good story Kevin weaves a story full of action and intrigue Daredevil is at his best

Great book by Clerks maker Kevin Smith.

Like Daredevil: Yellow by Loeb and Sale, Guardian Devil is a beautiful book! Kevin Smith wrote an amazing, thought-provoking story. I really feel like he poured everything he had into this story. Joe Quesada, along with Jimmy Palmiotti, did some of the best work of his comics career. Like Smith, those two gentlemen left everything they had on the page. Whether you purchase the original books, the graphic novel or on Kindle, this story is worth the price you'll pay.

Awesome read!

Loved it, recommend 100%

Currently there are three listings for "Daredevil: Guardian Devil" on Amazon. The oldest is listed as "Daredevil Visionaries: Guardian Devil" and it's from the year 2000. Praise for the book back then called it the best Daredevil since Frank Miller. I'm a big fan of Kevin Smith's movies and his one man shows, and I've been reading Daredevil by Brian M. Bendis, which made references to this book. So, Guardian Devil has been on my radar for a long time. I finally read it and, man, it's disappointing.Drugs explain away out of character moments, plot-holes are hand-waved out of existence, and most of it is overwritten. Sometimes the writing works with Mr. Smith throwing thinly veiled references to his film career and the moments with Matt's mom are great, but the ending feels like a gigantic cheat.On the other hand, the art really saves it. This is the first time I've seen Joe Q's art and it's quite stylish: a mix of Frank Miller and Bruce Timm. The digital ink also gives the book some rich color that I've never seen on Daredevil. Even though he makes Daredevil look like a thumb, Black Widow is absolutely poured into her costume.I'm becoming a Daredevil completionist. For completionist fans, I can only advise you to buy it later. Don't splurge and get it right away, wait until you have the extra cash. For the casual fans, I'd say skip it. If you were a fan of Bendis' run on Daredevil and want to get this because this was the launching point, I still say give it a pass. Bendis and Smith have clashing styles and you're not going to enjoy it. Other than "than one important thing," nothing is essential in this book.I'm tempted to give it a 4, because the art is really stunning, but the writing doesn't hold up. It might have broken new ground ten years ago, but we've come a long way since then.

Even you are not a Daredevil fan, there is lots to applaud in this tour de force graphic novel. I always thought Daredevil was a bit like the Xmen in that the appeal is largely to the existing fanbase but here Kevin Smith manages to write a blockbuster page turner that will appeal to all. Has all the attributes of a very good thriller novel with the added bonus of complimentary colouring and art that you get from a graphic novel. Wish all graphic novels were this good. Easily maximum stars and I am not a fan of all Kevin Smith's writing.

The good: i love this story. I owned signed Visionaries edition over 12 years ago and lost it. This is a must-read for DD fan.The bad: It's not HC so the cover starts softening after first read.

My son very happy thank you.

The tiniest bit dog-eared, but nothing to bad.

En mi opinión, Guardian Devil, esta en mi top 5 de Daredevil. En ella, Matt Murdock debe lidiar con el abandono de Karen Peage y un terrible secreto. También verás a Foggy Nelson, el mejor amigo de Matt incriminado en un asesinato. Todo esto mientras trata de salvar a una adolescente y a un niño quien se dice que es la salvación de la humanidad.La pareja formada por Kevin Smith (escritor) y Joe Quesada (dibujante) entregan una historia, que si bien no es tan oscura al estilo de Frank Miller, sorprende al lector de forma positiva en diversas ocasiones. En particular, este comic viene en una presentación de tapa blanda, excelentemente encuadernada, el arte viene impreso en papel algo brillante que hace destacar el excelente trabajo de Quesada.En definitiva, Guardian Devil tiene lo necesario para llegar a ser una historia increíble para los fans de Daredevil. Solo un consejo, antes de leer este comic asegúrate de leer antes Daredevil: Born Again de Frank Miller, de esta forma podrás entender mejor el progreso de Karen Page, la novia de DD.
