☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis landmark collection brings together Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's legendary 'Born Again' storyline, which originally ran in Daredevil #227-233. The story follows Matt Murdock as his life is systematically dismantled by the Kingpin after Karen Page sells his secret identity for drug money, leading to a harrowing journey of redemption that redefined the character. Featuring iconic art and a noir-infused narrative, this volume is widely regarded as one of the greatest Daredevil stories ever told.
In "Apocalypse," Daredevil, recovering under the care of Sister Maggie, faces a storm of personal revelations as his past begins to unravel. Karen arrives in New York searching for Matt, while Ben grapples with the truth behind Murdock and Kingpin’s tangled history. Kingpin, ever calculating, commissions a new Daredevil costume from Melvin Potter—just as Matt uncovers the shocking truth about Sister Maggie’s identity. Written by Frank Miller and illustrated with masterful precision by David Mazzucchelli, this pivotal issue blends emotional depth and tension, with cover art by Mazzucchelli that captures the weight of the moment.
In "Purgatory," Matt's world collapses as he faces the Kingpin in a brutal showdown that leaves him broken and abandoned. After being beaten and framed for murder, Matt is tossed into the river with a dead cab driver's body—only to resurface when the police find no trace of him.
In "Pariah," a stark and intimate origin unfolds as a masked Turk attacks Matt Murdock on Christmas Eve, leaving him wounded and vulnerable. As Ben hesitates to pursue a story linking Murdock to the Kingpin, Matt is tended to by Sister Maggie in quiet, desperate solitude. The story captures the moment before the legend begins—raw, personal, and haunted by what’s to come.
In the aftermath of a brutal ordeal, Daredevil finds unexpected solace in the care of Sister Maggie, a woman whose quiet strength becomes a lifeline. As Matt struggles to reclaim his identity, Karen arrives in New York searching for him, while Ben grapples with the truth behind the man he once reported on. Meanwhile, Kingpin’s obsession deepens as he commissions a new Daredevil costume from Melvin Potter—only to be stunned when the truth about Sister Maggie’s identity is finally revealed.
In "Saved," Ben's investigation into the Kingpin puts his wife in danger, forcing Matt Murdock to step into the shadows once more—this time in a Daredevil costume he didn't wear in years. When the fight ends, the mask stays behind, and Matt finds himself drawn back into a world he thought he'd left behind, reuniting with Karen with the weight of the past still hanging in the air.
In "Armageddon," Daredevil clashes with the relentless Nuke, forcing Captain America to intervene when the fight threatens to spiral out of control. As the two heroes uncover the truth, they link the Nuke program to the Kingpin—and expose a government conspiracy that could unravel everything.
