Highlights

• Origin of Daredevil
• Daredevil wears his original yellow and black costume

Low Points

• Having only been exposed to the Ben Affleck movie and Netflix television series, it feels wrong that the comic depicts Matt Murdock as a teenager, and not a young kid - In fact the entire way his origin unfolds feels like it's incorrect, even though it's the original source material

Oddities

• After getting beat down, one of the many foes Daredevil just bested says, "Nobody can fight like that. He must do it with mirrors!!" Hmm...I didn't know reflections in mirrors could hit you
• Karen Page is referred to as a decorative accessory in the office
