Lets appreciate the man without fear
Fairly new fan here. All caught up from Miller's run to Waid's, I loved almost everything

Thanks for bringing back a "Love for Matt" thread. I am right there with you. LOVE love love what has been going on with Matt since Waid took over. Cannot wait to read issue #2 (have it sitting next to me now)
Waid is a genius, its hard to say who *THE* DD is, Miller? Bendis? Brubaker? Waid? Doing wonders for the book.
I've read every issue of DD and loved the way the character has evolved. Really enjoying the new run and #1.5 was a nice nod to the character's history
I'll echo the love for Daredevil. I have found Waid's run to be absolutely brilliant. Even that Road Trip Mini Series was fantastic. I know Miller, Bendis & Brubakers runs are all amazing but Waid's run for me has been the best. One of the best runs in the history of Comic Books for me.
I can't remember when I've never been a Daredevil fan. To me he is one of the greatest comic book characters ever created. He is one of the rare ones that are interesting when he's just being Matt Murdock. Not needing the costume to draw you in.

"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark

I've grown into DD. I first thought it was silly but I've grown to love the story.
Just like Brubaker did for Captain America and co, Waid has made me become a fan.
For me its Miller > BruBaker> Bendis > Waid > Nocenti > the rest
I became a DD fan with Waid's run. I'm tempted to go back and read DD's 1970s stories. Recommended?
I would recommend it, but just bear in mind they aren't as polished as the later runs, they are a great glimpse into the character and help flesh out the character.
Same here -- I just blew threw the entirety of Waid's stuff, and now I'm desperate for more. Read Miller's "Man Without Fear," thought it was pretty good, sort of unsure where to go next?
I read DD #2 and it was great! I am so glad the renumbering didn't lose the artist or writer. I wish ALL the DD comics of all time were this light, fun, and exciting to read...I would collect them all
All of those writers were great, but everyone always lists the same ones all the time when it comes to Daredevil.
Am I the only one who think Roger McKenzie should be mentioned among the best when it comes to Daredevil writers? He was a good bridge between super campy Silver Age Daredevil and the dark, noir-styled Daredevil that Frank Miller made popular. Not only that, but he just wrote some really good stuff during his run. I guess people over look him since he wrote the book right before Frank Miller took over the writing chores.
