One of the most legendary story arcs for any comic character. Frank Miller took Daredevil from a skippable B-lister to a must buy superstar. Great story telling for any media.

This is how you write a comic book story. I feel like a lot of other stories are filled to the brim with tropes that make the story predictable and uninteresting. This story, even though it’s old, feels like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for covering this Rob!
I've been a follower of Daredevil since the late 70's when I first started reading comics. It's always been an interesting read. Your story brought back fond memories of my childhood, waiting on my various subscriptions to arrive in the mail. I personally would love to hear you continue with the Daredevil stories
You’re really making em great!! I love this old school feel from when you started I don’t know why but I got roots vibes and this was an awesome breakdown!!! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
These action scenes were literally fucking explosive. I never knew this storyline existed. What year was this?? I didn’t start reading Daredevil until 1990....
I hope I speak for everyone when I say its AMAZING(Rob's word) to hear you laugh and truly enjoy yourself again. Your joy bleeds through to us and I just want to say thank you.
Old Daredevil books helped bring me into the raw portion of comics. He used to go through it something different in a way that felt more relatable than any other superhero. No super strength to help ease the pain really hits home. I would like to see the Red Skull be done justice. Folks would probably say he had good intentions if you looked deep enough nowadays.
Would ring kinda hollow to me because of how many cues they seemed to take for season 3 of the show. Bullseye stopping a testimony before it could happen by killing everyone in the room, the callbacks to Karen’s time with drugs, Kingpin literally already knowing Matt’s identity, so on and so forth.
Hi Rob I'm a big fan and ex military just so you know that gun frank has jumping out of the helicopter is called a m203 it's a m16a2 with a grenade launcher I actually carried that weapon, I just thought maybe you'd appreciate knowing the actual name keep up the great work man
It's the same as Spider-Man who stopped holding back and gave Kingpin, who targeted Aunt May, the beating of his life in front of the shocked prisoners and left him humiliated.

“Thank you Rob for finally covering Daredevil Born Again” we all say in unison
Agreed
Yeah. Was really surprised reading
True that
This
actually you just thought it by yourself... don't pretend you'd do anything in unison with humanity besides drone out on mindless infotainment

Absolutely agree with everything that you typed.

The one thing I can give Miller credit for is

Why were the IRS so cruel as to send a blindman a letter telling him he's undergoing an audit?
was it in braile? havent watched the whole thing or read the comic
Finally someone notices 😂
@@azorahigh3218From what I can tell, no.
Welcome to reality
Because he never ticked 'blind' on the IRS's survey letter.
If this happened to Peter he would just Sigh and say "This Again".
That famous Parker luck. Lots of it and all of it bad.
Welcome to my world Matt.
this is just tuesday for spiderman 😭
Never really thought of it that way but yea this isn't anything new to your friendly neighborhood 😂
The page where daredevil tries to get out of bed and then decides he is too tired is one of the best depictions of depression I’ve seen in fiction
Dam guess I got depression
Dam me too.
There ARE a lot of days like that. Even if it means losing your job and apartment…

Kingpin is gonna feel that headache in the morning.
True
More Daredevil is always appreciated.
This is not just the greatest Daredevil story. This is without doubt one of the greatest stories ever written.
Yes
Umm no.. daredevil has better stories
@@birdmanfancy9627 suggest those please
When the IRS gets involved you know you're fucked. Even the Joker fears them! Lol
Because you can't plead insanity for tax evasion

Thanks for covering this Rob!
Thanks! Yoo DA MAN!
This was well made, rly liked it.
Ben Urich is such an underrated character. He was pretty good in Ultimate Spider-Man as well.
Kingpin: "Can we just talk like reasonable adults and be friends?"
Daredevil: "Down low."
Kingpin: "What?"
Daredevil: "Too slow!"
I think it’s kind of interesting on how this comic run of daredevil reminds me a lot of Batman: Knightfall.
Not even the Joker will mess with the IRS
😂😂😂😂
I got that reference

Daredevil: Born Again's story is amazing, but the art is STUNNING. I love how colorful it is
Man the old school stories were legit I want to see more
Frank Miller also wrote Batman year one for DC comics. If you haven't already read the book it's one I highly recommend.
I love that cap is the only other superhero who is humble enough to actually help daredevil
Dude the beef between Kingpin and DD is like Tom and Jerry 😂 on sight
Whats up rob...I was feeling a lil down...this helps thank you man. Hope your doing well 💯✌️
Born Again is the best comic storyline ever
Actually the end of Frank Miller's run .
So I found this out from Reddit: if you go back and start with Born Again and read through the run, it makes it better. And it kind of does…
@@comics_explained thanks for covering this though dude. Also please do the bendis run.
@@comics_explainedit doesnt in my opinion.
@@comics_explainedheya can you cover what’s going on rn with Doc doom im sooo confused on what’s happening in blood hunt
It's years after Miller's initial run ended. He just came back for one story, this one.
Frank miller's run on daredevil is my favorite marvel run in anything would love more I read all these in the public library when I was a kid
I learned that even in comic books, the IRS is always the biggest villain.
I remember reading this run when it was new. I have reread it multiple times. One of my all time favorite storylines. Thanks for covering it.
We need that Peter Parker at 35 years old story my guy it's seems so cool
Damn. Matt had it rough man.
We always want to see the rest. Please continue with the next part.
You’re really making em great!! I love this old school feel from when you started I don’t know why but I got roots vibes and this was an awesome breakdown!!! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Rob dropping clip after clip on us this week like Kendrick Lamar on Drake. 😂
OH MY GOD THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES, FRANK MILLER DID SUCH A PHEMONENAL JOB
Love these, haven't read comic regularly for 30 years and these really hit the spot. Thank you!
I love the way you covered this story. I would love to hear the rest of it. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The most powerful weapon worse than the ultimate nullifier; the irs.

So explosive in fact daredevil blows up a hellicopter killing a guy intentionally in this storyline...
1986
For sure Rob honestly just cover everything everybody will watch whatever you post I need more full stories I watched all of them already
My man said “woe be tied”. 😂Gotta love Rob.
Jameson being a goat in the story
He'll yeah I wanna hear the rest of the story!!! Thanks again man for your content, I love it!

How did he have good intentions?
Do the rest! I loved Frank Millers run on Daredevil.
Thank you Rob OMG. I want the rest!
Great review. Awesome work
WOW I still have these comics from when they first came out.... great memories....
Really loved this video no one really tells comic storhes the way you do.
Thank you Rob, more Daredevil please!
All timer storyline. I hope Marvel Studio does this after the R rated success of Deadpool
Would ring kinda hollow to me because of how many cues they seemed to take for season 3 of the show. Bullseye stopping a testimony before it could happen by killing everyone in the room, the callbacks to Karen’s time with drugs, Kingpin literally already knowing Matt’s identity, so on and so forth.
My favorite comic story of all time. The panels of Kingpin hearing that Daredevil was still alive after the car crash is incredible.
Rob is ALWAYS on point with the timing, it’s genius
Man Rob has CRIMINALLY slept on Daredevil. One of the best written protagonists out of Marvel Comics
hey , Rob, glad to have u back 2 cover there comics fir u n with us
Hi Rob I'm a big fan and ex military just so you know that gun frank has jumping out of the helicopter is called a m203 it's a m16a2 with a grenade launcher I actually carried that weapon, I just thought maybe you'd appreciate knowing the actual name keep up the great work man
🙌🏼🫡same carried when I was a private now they call them 320s
Thanks for this! I had this comic when it can out, and I completely forgot about it. Such a good story.
Glad you’re back Mr.rob
I miss this kind of artwork inn Comics. I hope they bring it back
Nice read, we need to see the rest of the series!!
I'd love to see you cover the rest of the run it sounds amazing
"So anyway, I start blasting!" - Nuke
Seeing rob drop a video always brightens my day
I would love to hear more Daredevil stories on this channel
Need more daredevil
Daredevil can drive. Nice
What's up Rob!! Thank you for another Kickass Awesome Upload! I can't wait to see more from Daredevil Born
Again!! I Hope you Have an Awesome Day!
This was a really good dark run on daredevil.
Hands down best content creator...
The way they adapted this so well into Daredevil season 3 was Crazy
What an amazing 3rd season
I see how they took some of the story beats and used them across season 2
Pretty cool
I will never stop asking for Spider-Man Clone Saga
More daredevil please
It's the same as Spider-Man who stopped holding back and gave Kingpin, who targeted Aunt May, the beating of his life in front of the shocked prisoners and left him humiliated.
No, this is a better story
@@KenDAKL4everwhy, cause Kingpin doesnt lose and doesnt get put in his place?
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 because it had more impact. Matt Murdock lost everything and had to rebuild
@@KenDAKL4ever what’s wrong with the fisk losing everything and getting put in this place in the same story?
@@KenDAKL4ever and what about last rites?
This is amazing, I love Daredevil oml.
Hell yeah another vid. Always love when u put new content out. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
More classic comics like these I been trying to see 👌👍
I like these (Stops holding back) videos
Yes Rob we definitely need the rest of this story
Man that was crazy. Intense.
This is one of the greatest stories ever and not just in comics!
Pls do more of these 🙏🏾
Do the rest do the rest!!! This is awesome!
14:47 frank miller between this and batman and robin the boy wonder is just out of his mind 😢
Amazing! I need the rest
Awesome story and your narration. Thanks for covering this one! 🌟😁👍🌟
Bro I can’t believe kingpin broke every bone in daredevils
Criminality is pt.of the heritage,criminals thrive on societies understanding
I bought this when it came out as a graphic novel and it's been one of my favourites since then. It also started my love of hornhead.
Hopefully the new Daredevil show does the actual Born Again story
With Matt's life being completely destroyed and everything
It'll adapt the "Devil's Reign" storyline instead, with Kingpin running for Mayor Of New York
II think a direct adapation probably isn't happening but maybe bits and pieces will be used.
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu "Daredevil" (Season 3) adapted bits and pieces of the "Born Again" storyline
season 3 did that already, or came close enough that it wouldn't be worth doing a to-the-letter version of this.
@@plasticweapon Matt didn't get completely mentally broken in that season
The only Born Again things the show really did was the Nun nursing him back to health and Bullseye dressing up as him going on a killing spree.
The greatest story ever from Marvel. Until the next great episode! 😂. Good stuff
Best video in awhile
Please keep it up with Daredevil!
I remember reading a spider man comic that was released concurrently to this storyline where Peter just happens to meet Matt while this is happening and at his lowest point, and I remember thinking "WTF is happening in the Daredevil comics???" because I'd never given the character a second though, but that crossover made me start looking into Daredevil comics and how amazong the character is.
ive seen this video like 7 times I NEED MOREEEE
Thanks Rob! Hope we can get a video for the follow up comic book! Avengers showing up was random but cool lol
I beg for the day that whole comic arc gets adapted in animated form, ala X-Men 97, but with the animated combat and battle depth that Jujutsu Kaisen gives when extending a 2 page panel, into a nigh 10 minute feast for the eyes battle, whenever it needs to be
But for now, I'll settle with Daredevil S3 adapting this arc
