Why hello there. I have finished watching Daredevil and it has taken over my soul. Do you have any advice on where to begin or what to read if I want to read the comics?
You can jump right in with the Mark Waid run, it’s a modern classic. Perfect for people new to comics and still continues to be amazing.
Daredevil: Yellow is a great standalone origin-story told over six issues.
Born Again is legendary but booyyyy howdy is dark, dense, and depressing. Quintessential Miller/Mazzucchelli. In it, Karen Page is a washed up junkie actress who sells out Daredevil’s secret identity to score another hit. The series deals with Kingpin systematically destroying Matt’s life. Rich in visual metaphor, mattfractionblog wrote a super interesting analysis of it which you can read here.
Feel free to reblog with your additions or comments.
Enjoy!
