Summary: A MILESTONE FOR MARVEL AND THE COMIC BOOK MEDIUM
Comment: Issues 227-233 of DAREDEVIL are a joyous example of the potential of the comic book medium. If the timing, marketing push and presentation were a little different, and, if Hornhead was a household name like The Caped Crusader, BORN AGAIN could have had the impact of the classic DARK KNIGHT RETURNS or the equally amazing BATMAN: YEAR ONE. It's that good. Miller is a storytelling genius. He respects the intelligence of the average comic reader and the rich tapestry that is the Marvel Universe yet, at the same time, a newcomer can pick up the storyline and be just as entertained. Never are the words "Captain America" or "Iron Man" or "Thor" mentioned. Either you'll know who they are or you'll have a sudden urge to find out. The story is fantastically hard-boiled with a street level New York feel and a wealth of great lines and scenarios. Who can forget.. "A man without hope is a Man Without Fear." "5B...5B....5B..." "It was a nice piece of work Kingpin...you shouldn't have signed it." Brilliant stuff. Stan Lee + Raymond Chandler=Framk Miller. Oh yeah, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO DAVID MAZZUCHELLI? He is, in my opinion, one of the industry's greats even though he hasn't done a large amount of work. WHERE HAS HE GONE? Imagine him applying his refreshingly realistic and influential style to, for example, Spider-Man or The Fantastic Four? Its just too bad he's faded away. With the kiddie-friendly, card-trading, heavy-merchandising, irrelevant-storyline, resurrection-happy, 6-books-for-each-character era of comics upon us, its good to be able to pick up well crafted, restrained, and fantastic piece of work like BORN AGAIN.

Summary: Brilliant, the best Daredevil story ever told
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good, Evil, Love & Betrayel... A Daredevil Epic
Comment: Frank Miller and Dave Mazzucelli strike comic book gold with this unforgettable tale of Daredevil and the Kingpin. With the Kingpin gaining knowledge of Daredevil's true identity, we watch a man's world crumble all around him. Can he build his life back? Can Matt Murdock come back from the pit that the Kingpin has thrust him into? The answer to that question is artfully and powerfully answered in the pages of this engrossing story. Mazzucelli's artwork seemes to roll off the page as movie storyboards - and Miller's storyline weaves it's web until all the drama's players entertwine, leading to the ultimate confrontation in the final chapter.
Miller's characters are unforgettable - The players are really fleshed out to give us understanding and insight into their world. I really love Miller's style of writing when it comes to this (a style he has used in many other stories, most notably in "The Dark Knight Returns"). Though decades have passed since I first read this story, I still remember exact lines and scenes from these well crafted characters. Truly memorable and powerful.
This collection is without a doubt one of the finest accomplishments in the history of graphic novels. It is essential crime drama reading.
