Book Reviews of Daredevil Visionaries Vol. 1: Guardian Devil (v. 1)
Book Review: No other words...
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I was very hesitant in buying this graphic novel. Of course, I enjoyed reading Daredevil stories since I was in High School, but only because of Frank Miller's Daredevil: Born Again and his equally legendary Elektra Saga. Nothing more. I had perfectly assumed this new book would be another one of those present-day rip-offs (all form, no substance stuff) that's further pushing me away from reading comic books. Boy, I'm sure glad I was wrong. The book in itself was fantastic. Kevin Smith's (Chasing Amy, Dogma, Mall Rats-y'know, the works) writing was more than remarkable, it was amazing! I haven't seen lines written in comics like that in a long while now. The last time I read something as memorable was when I read Frank Miller's (again) The Dark Knight Returns. It's very interesting to note some good lines from Smith's script like "What kind of a mugger wears a suit?" or "To do my father's work, padre." Not to mention the middle part of the story where there is an unexpected plot twist that ultimately undo our protagonist's life beyond any form of redemption (hmm, I'm sounding a bit strange back there). This is excellent stuff that I'm sure is already a classic on its own. Smith does his best working as a comic book scribe so his growing number of fans certainly look forward to seeing him do more for the industry in the near future. As for the book's art, man, Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti far exceed their bars of excellence sky high! Those two guys went over-the-top on this series. Oh, I wouldn't want to forget the stark and detailed computer-enhanced coloring that gave depth to the pictures. Crisp writing plus good art equals an excellent, classical read. And to top it all off, I would like to quote Matt Murdock's most remembered (and touching) line in the story that further adds greatness to the book: "There are no words..." You'll understand why when you get this graphic novel. 'Nuff, said.
