What happens when a hero loses everything?

In Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s Daredevil: Born Again, the comic’s titular hero has his life destroyed after his most menacing enemy learns his real identity. His attempts to rebuild his life and sanity result in one of the most gripping and impactful super hero storylines of all time.

Released in 1986, the storyline is an extraordinary exploration of what happens when a hero’s identity is revealed, and his personal life completely annihilated. We see Daredevil reduced to the lowest depths in the character’s history, but we also follow his painstaking path toward redemption.

This entry in MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Daredevil: Born Again’s gorgeous and unique artwork, the lasting impact of its story and art, and how it forever changed the ways super hero characters and their secret identities have functioned.

A must-have for new or longtime readers of a Marvel classic, this book is also the perfect gift for the comic book fan in your life.(P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Not what I expected

Just a word of warning. This is not a reading of the Born Again story, but rather a discussion and breakdown of the graphic novel. While initially disappointed. I gave it a chance and enjoyed the fresh look at each individual chapter. It gave me a new love and appreciation of the story. So I say this again buyer beware it is not a reading of Born Again just a great discussion piece of the marvel classic.

this is not the comic story

I enjoy deep dives into characters and behind the scenes into comics. but that is not what was advertised for this.
