Daredevil: Born Again: one of the best Marvel Comics of all time!

[@comicpop]

Pick up Daredevil Born Again here: amzn.to/2y46B6e

[@GitShiddy]

I love that Tiff at the beginning said "He's stuck between being a Lawyer and a Chef" and later on in the story he does become a cook and no one brought attention to it. Also this is a must read book, it's incredible.

[@jonvthvnx5729]

Born Again deserves the same amount of recognition and credit that DKR receives.

[@matiasleon9657]

Jon Osterman perhaps it doesn't because born again is part of Miller's run on Daredevil while DK is its own thing (i won't count in DK II & III or all star).I love Born Again, but Batman is Batman, and he gets a lot more love :/

[@MrPink-qf1xi]

DK II & III and All-Star does count even if we want it or not, but Frank's work on Daredevil is far superior to his Batman. Dc hired Frank to write DK because of his work on Daredevil.

[@erikmussoni9071]

In fairness, while it's in the regular run of Daredevil, Miller came back special for the story. He finished his entire 32ish issues. Denny O'Neil took over as a writer. Then, after that, he came back and wrote Born Again. It works well as a standalone story.

[@liverusrock6789]

And Miller is the Dark Knight that Returned to Marvel Comics

[@alexsilva28]

@@Batmanbeyyond FACTS

[@toob46]

Fun fact: There are in fact blind chefs, a winner of Hell's Kitchen was blind.

[@aisnota5192]

And his name was Matt Murdock! XD

[@a.n_9364]

Ironic that

[@Cashmoneez]

masterchef not hells kitchen

Encuentras esto en Ecuador? Cuando tenia 9 anios podia rentar revistas y lei Spiderman 100 en Espanol en Quito

[@1337snake888]

Season 3 didn't end up being an adaptation of this story, but it took some inspiration and ended up being a great story in its own right

[@Seasonal-Shadow_4674]

Sometimes I wish they got as darks and direct as the comic

[@LeonardoSilva-nh2gg]

The best Marvel "movie"

[@roxtechs]

It weird since is was on Netflix snd could have push as hard as the comic.

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

Can a blind person be a chef? Well, Christine Hà is the winner of Master Chef in 2012 and she's blind. Besides enhanced smell and taste, she can even arrange dishes more beautifully than other competitors just by touch. So yea Matt would be like a super chef.

[@benjiboy902]

Approximately 2% of my body mass is fat. "Allow me to show you what 350 pounds of muscle is capable of!" Best Kingpin quote.

[@erikmussoni9071]

I came to quote that quote from the Spider-Man Animated Series. I wish there was a youtube video of just that quote (well, with the "pie eating contest" line just before it.

[@chrisdaily2077]

My favorite is "Sacrifices must be made." It's a simple line with such power depending on when he says it.

[@NoPeopleLand]

I just met Frank Miller in person last week, he came to Rosario ( Argentina). It was a blast, guy showed a whole other side to his personality. This episode could not come at a better time.

[@moxie9695]

I thought this said “Prison”

[@comixproviderftw_02]

1986, the year of Frank Miller.

[@OwenLikesComics]

Seeing this in my sub box definitely made my day!

[@TheRAZORVIDS]

Love your content man!

[@LordcrazyMedia]

The god damn daredevil

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

I'm convinced Mazzucchelli studied Art History at some point because a lot of his work had illusions to famous pieces.

[@Grievousish]

Woah 4 person back issues! You know it's gonna be good when the ComicPOP crew assembles.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

That background image is apropos because everyone is on fire this episode. I'm not even halfway done and I'm already crying.

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

I don't know why I find Hal's "I don't give a shiiiiiiiiiiiit." So amusing, but I cannot stop laughing.

[@cbvn3]

Fisk is like a sumo wrestler. Looks fat but has a lot of muscle.

[@tannerhudson3382]

Cool, some pre-insanity Miller.

[@vavedern8860]

😂

[@Shoub-kb9sk]

Before he hit his head.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

_"Fuck."_ ~ Summary of this story.

[@Grievousish]

This story is basically the title card of an Always Sunny episode. "Matt's life goes to shit"

[@felixnolasco2509]

I hope this leads to more DD books in back issues because he is my boy!!!! And he has some of the best comic runs of all time!!!!!

[@langleymneely]

I think Born Again is totally the main arc for Daredevil season 3! If not in season 3 it will definitely come eventually before the series is over. Its a seminal Daredevil story. I bet they start the season with the Mother Maggie reveal as he recovers from "dying" in Defenders. I also cant wait to see what they do with Karen, I bet all the heroin/porn stuff has already happened in her already alluded to past.

[@undercoverdrummermusicprod732]

welcome back 🙏

[@mitchellamar3286]

So Batman was stabbed by a hooker but daredevil was stabbed by santa

[@thatHARVguy]

Was it the same Santa from that Frank Miller Batman story? 🤔

[@ElectricChairJ]

Thank you guys so much! I've been DYING for you guys to do Born Again since I started watching Back Issues!

[@terry10tnj]

Had to come watch this again after the series announcement!!

[@MrMike11233]

Daredevil #227 is one of the 10 best comics I have *ever* read, and Born Again may be the greatest Daredevil story of all time.

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

This is gonna sound weird, but I didn't even realize it was a Wednesday until I saw this video in my notifications.

[@langleymneely]

Question for Sal, how on earth do you prepare for Back Issues? I assume you re read the book but do you plan out how you are going to tell the story? Just a question Ive been wondering for years now. Cheers!

[@lonely-soul-f2v]

3:03 Matt: "ALL I'M HEARING IS CLAPPING! IS IT FINISHED? IS THERE AN AUDIENCE! FOGGY, TALK TO ME, DAMMIT!"

[@ujorge96]

YASSSSSSSS!!!!!!! BORN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

[@lordmephisto3426]

I always assume Kingpin trained as if he was competing in Olympic weightlifting. He looks like it!

[@michaelschnupp1854]

This is my favorite daredevil arc ever...Frank Miller at his best ComicPOP rules!

[@the_rose_garden01]

"How do blind people cook?! Because they do!"

[@samgilley3160]

Honestly one of the greatest graphic novel of all time. Never before has a hero fallen so low and came back so fucking hard.

[@sweetchristmas92]

Born Again is by far the best Marvel comic I’ve ever read, and even exceeds The Dark Knight Returns, because of the amount of realism, spiritual symbolism, and the amount of humanity this story delivers. It’s also a redemption story for Matt and Karen, while the Kingpin begins to lose his empire. Beautiful artwork, and narrative by Miller and Mazzucali.

[@Redem10]

Daredevil born again 2: He become a protestant!

[@acidk44]

Sure father Anderson

[@vanxanax933]

Girlfriend asmr 😂😂😂

[@ZiggyGamma]

Haven't watched Back Issues in a long time...No particular reasons... but on the night before my midterms I see this... IMMA WATCH IT ALL

[@Remix36720]

My favorite Daredevil story! You guys made my day!

[@hacksawjimthuggin4957]

I’m so happy y’all did this book. I know I’ve said it before on another video, but Born Again is one of the books that got me into comics. Classic book, instant classic episode of back issues.

[@Damon.]

I like how in the daredevil movie the message with the girl friend dumping him is litterally the same as in born again

[@codystahl5935]

"YOU WANNA TEA-BAG ONE OF US, YOU GOTTA TEA-BAG ALL OF US!"

[@g_oduofthenorth9618]

I know in the 90's Spider-man, Kingpin says he only has 2% body fat, and that is entirely muscle, so I tend to assume that's just how he is, but I don't know.

[@dayyfin]

they're turning this into a goat series

[@doogless]

Kingpin's body type is that of an NFL lineman. Fat while also being very strong.

[@macka9]

Just wanted to say. long time fan, and his is in my top 10 back issues ever. Well done. Love it so much I won't even ask about Dark Tower

[@huy.tnguyen2796]

Watching this before watching Daredevil season 3. Gonna be awesome!!

[@MrAnimefan79]

Rewatching this after Disney + announced the new season Daredevil season/revival

[@ruhinrahi3142]

18:52 ...Sal is a Time traveler confirmed. He'd seen S3 of DD, then came back and did this SPECIFIC BOOK for this SPECIFIC BACK ISSUES, as the book highly correlated with S3. Boom.

[@marioreyes6471]

daredevil behind sal about to grab his head and hit with his billy club lol

[@GetUpGetUpGetUp]

The moment I saw Tiffany on the thumbnail I postponed everything else. When Tiffany's involved you know it's gonna be a good episode.

[@brancorocks]

Man this was one cool and hilarious episode....just made my day 😂😂

[@FatSnorlax]

17:09 I'm dead. Thanks Ben hahaha

[@mc336687]

The reason why the retcon with Maggie was awesome is because Mark Waid's Daredevil was awesome

[@PMcGJellyP]

One of my favorite comics of all time! Thank you for reviewing it. Also, they kind of teased this being the next season of Daredevil.

[@Juggalo6199]

This was my first Daredevil comic after watching this video and it was a very good read indeed! Thank you comic pop!

[@MrNewguy456]

tis is one of the best episodes in a while. Keep up the great work!

[@buffbeenstuffed]

I purchased this book back in march 2015 when I was living on my own, I remember finishing it in one sitting. The book and the story made an impression on me at that time, to the point where I did not want to read it in parts, So glad to see you guy's are covering this on your channel!

[@CaptainSawyer]

This is a funny episode. These guys are hilarious

Hello all, from the uk. Hope you are all well, and no issues. So glad I got up and found this just loaded. Wicked, thank you guys, your work is brilliant and I enjoy every episode

[@thegraphicloop5506]

So good. Best couch show ever.

[@playwithmeindeath]

Yes, keep the Daredevil coming!

[@joshuanelson6795]

Finally! Been waiting for this one! My favorite Daredevil story!

[@landonny]

I REALLY hope they do something like this in the upcoming seasons of the Daredevil Netflix show, it's inevitable right?

[@lukasszalbot1636]

That So Landon if you saw the ending to defenders then you'll know that they are probably setting up thus story. Seems like it anyway.

[@thatHARVguy]

And the last scene with Fisk in DD S2 was him rubbing his sore jaw, and sending an underling to gather all they can on Murdock.

[@tazzerdevil98]

Well they killed nuke in jj s2 so thatll be different

[@NerdsOnlytv]

Bullseye is the fake Daredevil, which was really cool

[@hugoiberri3945]

This story is straight up daredevil season 3

[@darraghmcconn]

Haha man I completely forgot about 5he piano intro

[@HamzaBoujelouah]

Born again is incredible. Frank Miller's writing style is so poetic and beautiful

[@caveman42o7]

I have seen every episode at least 3 times and this by far is one of the best episodes ever everyone together and on point with comments seriously in my top 5 #bornagain !!!

[@wildmanuchild99]

Can't stop looking at the Storm plushie in the left corner, IT'S HILARIOUS xD

[@hyaena23]

I never caught the mexican water joke, untik this re-watch 😅. Our tap water is not potable because someone somewhere in the history of México decided it was too expensive to do. Some say bottled water companies had something to do with it, but who knows 🤔 Love frome México ❤

[@balrog262]

Matt is a good Catholic man, he's not watching porn of the love of his life. He'd be like "Dear God Karen, sweetie what have you done to yourself?"

[@ParadoxEngineer]

And Sal was right, this is what they did for Season 3 of Daredevil.

[@darthforge2791]

Sal completely calls season 3 of daredevil 18:50

[@Eudaimonia239]

I am starting reading daredevil, and so far is becoming one of my favorite characters, I will read this one next for sure.

[@fredrikgranstrom6743]

DAREDEVIL IS SUCH AN AWESOME CHARCHTER

[@jcam42]

I'd put Daredevil 181 right up there with the Born Again Saga as some of the greatest superhero comics ever. Frank Miller's first run 168-181 (158-167 he did the Art but didn't write) was one of the greatest runs in comics history, and then he topped it with the Born Again Saga. He topped his first run except for the last issue 181. That is as amazing as the Born Again Saga. The graphic novel starts with issue 227, but I would consider 226 as the prequel to the Born Again Saga. It is as good as the Dark Knight Returns.

[@chadalpha7983]

Remember kids, the next time you see a homeless person sleeping on the subway in NYC be nice, they might be DareDevil!

[@MrAlvaroferreyra]

Love this book! So glad you did it! Thank you guys!

[@anthonymilc9721]

Just read born again and came here to watch y’all talk about it. It’s so good I loved reading it, frank miller created a masterpiece

[@kylemoore221]

Such a great episode guys this maybe one of my favorites

[@Zackathor]

Been waiting for this for years! Awesome.

[@timboslice980]

Imagine frank miller's pitch. I'm gonna make Matt a catholic, Karen a pornstar, and I'm gonna make kingpin smoke cigarettes. It's gonna be the best thing ever.

[@dead0ntime]

Watching this after Daredevil Season 3

[@adsjj1]

Such a great story! Been waiting so long for this!!

[@Ali_M3]

Been waiting for this one for soo long

[@kordelshorgar122]

while i did liked the previous couch is good to see the whole gang in the same couch without squishing each other P.D i love this book and your take on it

[@austinlenard7527]

Holy shit, I never noticed how much of Frank Miller was used in Daredevil season 3

[@Nandos_33]

THANK YOU! Ive been waiting forever for this :D made my day!!!

[@polilla318]

I GUARANTEE daredevil season 3 will be almost exactly the same as this, it just fits in so fucking well, they've already established nuke, at the end of defenders daredevil is being nursed back to health by (presumably) his mother, the pieces are just so well placed... not doing this storyline for season 3 would straight up be stupid, they could also make it so that the evil daredevil is bullseye, and he appears for the first time as bullseye in daredevil season 4 for the grand finale(btw this daredevil is wearing a black version of his red suit just cus) where bullseye kills Elektra and daredevil in the end just quits or whatever.

[@ShaneMcCravy007]

Crazy how Daredevil S3 takes many points of this story and does its own twist to it.

[@jonfrombuckland_3784]

That is an incredibly cool Catholic/ Christian theme when Matt is walking through the street, as well as the image when his Mother finds him. Way to go Frank Miller. And also, thanks for pointing those out Comicpop crew!

[@comicscinemaothermedia9247]

10:05 Matt wore a sweater that said that once because his identity was exposed and it worked

[@victorajiboye2284]

It's the whole crew

[@Hapokas112]

RIP Daredevil season 3.

[@Sicod79]

Remember when Frank M was a good comic book writer? Comicpop does!

This was so enjoyable!

You say Born Again is one of the top 3 DD stories of all time. What are the other two? Devil in Cell Block D, and Man Without Fear?
