Best comic ever?, Feb 20 2003
This review is from: Daredevil Legends Volume 2: Born Again TPB (Paperback)
I have read and re-read this story many many times over the last ten years, and it has never failed to disappoint. The only problem I ever had with it is that that I use it as a yardstick to measure other comics by and by and large very little comes close. Brilliant!

Frank Miller Does It Again!, Aug 20 2006
This review is from: Daredevil Legends Volume 2: Born Again TPB (Paperback)
Here's yet another essential DD story that you must read. I'll let you in on the plot. The Kingpin discovers Murdock = DD. DD goes straight for him and gets nailed. Kingpin gradually takes away everything that DD has. He goes there hell but then comes back (probably not too happy) and BANG a war wages. That's all I'm going to tell you. By the way, you'll like Mazzuchelli's art a lot.

Brilliant, the best Daredevil story ever told, April 20 2004
This review is from: Daredevil Legends Volume 2: Born Again TPB (Paperback)
Born Again marked Frank Miller's return to Daredevil a few years after he penned the legendary Elektra saga. Here, DD's old flame Karen Page outs Matt's identity for a quick fix, resulting in the Kingpin learning Daredevil's secret identity and the Kingpin nearly succeeding in driving our hero insane. Matt loses everything: his home, his friends, his law practice, and almost his mind. Miller discards the Daredevil costume as well for most of the story, focusing more on the true hero behind the mask. Miller's deconstruction of the hero and his focus on the man in the costume is what makes Born Again so brilliant; it's Daredevil like we've never seen him before (at this point in the comic that is) as we see that this super hero is all the more human, something that made Miller's classic Dark Knight Returns story so good as well. The art by David Mazzucchelli is nearly perfect as well, and fits the tone of the story. All in all, if you want the defining Daredevil story, than look no further.
