It’s easy to imagine a modern creative team spending five or six issues on just that element of the story, but Miller and Mazzucchelli do it all in the span of 20-odd pages, and they do it brilliantly. The first issue alone sees Wilson Fisk discover Daredevil’s secret identity and systematically destroy Matt Murdock’s life. And it did all of this in the span of just seven issues.įrom the outset, “Born Again” is a story that moves. Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s “Born Again” storyline completely upended Matt Murdock’s status quo, established a new one for the character, introduced (and reintroduced) characters who would become essential to the series, and completely altered the dynamic between Daredevil and his greatest foe. It’s interesting, then, that one of the seminal Daredevil stories is so short. ’s iconic stretch on the series, to the Marvel Knights runs of Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev and Ed Brubaker & Michael Lark, to more recent turns by Mark Waid & Chris Samnee and Charles Soule & Ron Garney, the character’s history has largely been defined by creators settling in for a long haul. From Frank Miller’s career-making (and series-saving) run as writer/artist in the early ‘80s, to Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr.
