Daredevil's always seemed awesome to me but I've never actually read any. I'm thinking about buying the Frank Miller omnibus since that seems to be the stuff people like best, but I was wondering if I will actually understand it. All I really know about DD is that he's blind but can sort of see with sound, his name is Matt Murdock, he's a lawyer of some kind and his main enemies are Bullseye and Kingpin. That's literally all I know, is that enough to get by with the omnibus, or is there other stuff I need to know?

That's really the place where DD as we know him started. He'd been around for 13 or 14 years before that, but was treated as a poor man's Spider-Man--a character and a book with no soul (but frequently awesome artwork). You can pretty much read the origin story (in issue #1) and go right into Miller's original run. Miller is the one who made the Kingpin DD's major nemesis (he'd been a Spidey villain before that).

Oh yeah. You'll be fine. That's a perfect place to start.

I didn't know much about Daredevil either other than picking up the newest Marvel Now series and his brief appearances in Spider-Man stories. I did recently start reading the Marvel Visionaires - Frank Miller Daredevil Vol 1, 2, and 3 (essentially just the 3 volumes collected in the omnibus), and man is it good. Has definitely turned me into a Daredevil fan. Say what you want about Miller and criticize him all you want, but he wrote a damn good Daredevil!
