Question about DAREDEVIL books / TPBs / characters etc [merged]
I just finished reading Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller Vol 2, and I had a question about issue #181 (the "classic" fight between Bullseye and Elektra). If you've never read the issue, please don't read any further (instead, go buy the TPB and enjoy).
My question is:

Didn't know myself, but hearing that
sparked my interest.
Did a search on Northern Lights (Bullseys adamantium) and found this:

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks Blade!
The site confirmed that he did indeed
and reveals how, but it doesn't provide an issue number when it takes place. Oh well

Have you checked out marvel.com?
They have a character bio page ( http://www.marvel.com/comics/characters/characters.html ) that lists the same information.
I found this because I clicked around after replying to you and thought it would be fun to see what some of my favorite X-Men had been up to.
In any case, they also have message boards and someone there might know the issue you want.
Hmm. Nevermind. I think it's issue #196:

Gotta love search engines!

Question about DAREDEVIL books/TPBs
Regarding the DAREDEVIL VISIONARIES VOL. 1,2,3 by Frank Miller:
1) What issues does each TPB reprint?
2) How many pages does each book contain?
3) What is the paper quality?
4) Do they overlap other TPB stories such as BORN AGAIN & MARKED FOR DEATH (also Miller stories)?
Thanks!

Visonnaries reprints the original Miller run on the series.
I believe the following is correct but may be off on the page numbers:
Vol 1 reprints issues 159 thru 167 & is 256 pages.
Vol 2 reprints issues 168 thru 182 & is 336 pages.
Vol 3 reprints issues 183 thru 191 + What #'s 28 & 35 & the b&w Elektra story from Bizzare Adventures 28 & is 272 pages.
The paper quality is very good.
Marked For Death Reprints issues 159-161, 163 & 164.
Born Again is issues 227-233 & is drawn by Mazzuchelli & thus is not in these Visionnaries comps.
If you have Gang War that is issues 169-172 & 180.

Fall of the Kingpin 297-300
Fall From Grace 319-325
If you have any other tpb's that I've not listed let me know and I may be able to tell you where they fit chronologically. I think the above covers all the regular series reprints. The other tpb's should all be compilation of various mini-series.

Why not just get Frank Miller: Visionaries Vols 1-3 and Born Again?
Personally, I didn't think much of Fall of the Kingpin or Fall From Grace..
Also, one issue in one of the Vols, I believe Vol 1, is missing, as FM didn't do it and it was basically an origin story.

One thing I do not like about the visionaries is the shoddy reproduction of the lettering, particularly in Vol 2-3. It's obviously "bitmapped" and been scanned, the dot quality is really high. Maybe that's just me, though. I just think you shouldn't be able to see "dot quality" on the artwork in the book.

Born Again is one of the best trade paperbacks you can pick up. Batman Year 1 is even better IMO.
I liked the artwork in Fall From Grace. That's where Scott McDaniel really defined his style.
I prefered the Fall of the Kingpin story and the art by Lee Weeks.

Daredevil Help
So after seein DD (a great movie; it was like a moving comic book) I have a craving to scour up some classic daredevil comics. I'm on a kinda limited budget (I would like to stay under 50 bucks). What are the out and out greatest DD issues/TPB's whatevers that I should go get?

Get Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller volume 1-3. Nothing else even comes close. These books collect Miller's entire run, (including the Elektra Saga, which the movie is loosely based on) and the stories he told pretty much define who the character is today. DD was just a cheap Spider-Man knock-off before Miller came along. You should be able to get all three TPBs for around $50. Check Ebay.
Daredevil: Born Again, also by Miller, is generally considered to be the best DD story ever written, but the TPB is out-of-print and impossible to find. It's worth tracking down a copy, though. Great stuff. Born Again is what got me hooked on DD when I was a kid.

Daredevil: The Man without Fear, which is also by Frank Miller, is a four issue mini-series that basically retells the origins of DD. Absolutely great read! The Kevin Smith, David Mack, and Brian Michael Bendis ongoing, runs on DD are all great!

While I have all the comics aforementioned, the best of the bunch are FM: Visionaries Vols 2 & 3 and Born Again. I liked FM:V Vol 1, but it wasn't as good as 2 & 3.

He also created his own series from Dark Horse called Sin City, most of which is available in trades. It's pretty gritty stuff, but it's great as well.

Miller's "Hard Boiled" is great. So are "Give Me Liberty" and "Martha Washington Saves the World".
And, of course, one of my all-time favorites: "Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot".
