Rendition Toward Books Daredevil: Born Again (Daredevil: Born Again #Complete)
This was good. Really good, even. Yet what’s frustrating about “Born Again” is how SO FREAKIN’ CLOSE it comes to greatness…but ultimately, in the final stretch, falls short.The first half of the arc, I would argue, is undeniably great–Frank Miller was born to write Daredevil, and the set-up of the story–which centers around the Kingpin finally learning Daredevil’s secret identity, and proceeding to make Matt Murdock’s life a complete and utter living hell–is sublimely done, especially as it’s narrated in that great, hard boiled voice that Miller nailed to perfection in the late 80s/early 90s. Which is why, when the narrative starts to go off the rails (one word: Nuke) the aftertaste it leaves is ESPECIALLY bitter: it’s like watching a virtuoso chess player spend hours meticulously arrange his chess pieces for the perfect maneuver, only to toss the whole board right as the moment of attack arrives.
Am I glad I finally got around to reading “Born Again?” Definitely. Do I hope that Season 3 of the Netflix show pilfers certain elements of it? You bet. Do I think it’s one of the great Frank Miller stories, up there with the likes of 300, Sin City, and Ronin?

This story is gut wrenchingly emotional and surprisingly realistic.It's ultimately, as all the best superhero stories are, about the man behind the mask and the depths he is willing to go in order to protect all that he holds dear.It's a bleak, VIOLENT story with bitter undertones yet, as the story concludes, our blind hero far worse off than
A man without hope is a man without fear.

Born Again (DD #227-231). Born Again is easily one of the best stories ever in Daredevil, and probably surpasses Frank Miller's brilliant work on his original run, because this is more obviously the work of a mature storyteller. Part of that is the subject matter: Wilson Fisk discovering Matt's secret identity and destroying his life is a great concept. (The character assassination of Karen Page is a bit less great, but it certainly does something with a character no one cared about at the time

One of the all-time greatest comic book arcs in my opinion. A gritty story of a man overcoming insurmountable odds and knowing that there is always somebody in your corner cheering for you. Some aspects of it really haven't aged well and I truly hope they haven't adapted the part of Karen going off the deep end in the third season of the Netflix show.Other than that, I enjoyed every moment of Matt overcoming the immense pressure and betrayal that he feels and the sheer hatred and willful
First off, let me get one thing straight:This story is really dark.Like, it's the darkest superhero story I've ever read. So, mild spoilers up ahead, don't read on if you're one of those chaps who likes to jump into a tale without knowing what it's about. In this story, Karen Page, once Nelson & Murdcok's secretary, now junky/former adult film star, sells out Daredevil's secret identity to get a bit more heroine. Matt Murdock's life is falling apart, though it's not really made clear why.
