Challenge: Read a graphic novel
I decided to start reading more about Daredevil after finishing the Netflix series.
This is not an origin story but I quite enjoyed this volume. There were a few references to other stories that made me curious to read more but did not make me feel lost.
I liked the artwork quite a lot, especially when we get to see from Matt's perspective. I thought that the use of onomatopoeia, heart-rates, sounds and smells were really interesting.
As regards characters, I really Matt and Foggy. Their relationship continues to make me smile. This could be because of the show but I really liked them together.
Matt's quite cheeky and his lines were quite fun to read. There were some silly moments but overall, I liked him as protagonist. When he said that he could sense snipers approaching but could not tell if the taxis were taken or not broke my heart.
I also enjoyed seeing Matt and the blind boy's interactions and I hope to see them together more in the future.
There's a hint of a love interest in this first volume which I could care less. Maybe in future issues, we'll see some development in the character but I'm not looking forward to the romance, to be honest.
Quite a nice introduction to the character but I think I'll read some origin stories before continuing with the next volume.
