Daredevil

Frank Miller's Born Again saga was my first introduction to the ol' Hornhead. The characterization was like watching a Raymond Chandler film remade as a storyline from NYPD Blue. The artwork was layouts were fantastic with a ton of religious symbolism that would haunt the series for decades afterward. That run on the title was so good it was something that you had a hard time believing it was real. That you could go out and buy it every month off the newsstand for sixty cents every month.

I followed Nocetti run through to it's conclusion. I dug how she explored the duality of Matt his role as Daredevil. At that young I'd not encountered anything like that before. A character like Daredevil fighting the spawn of the devil, Blackheart, really blew my mind.

I returned to reading comics after a fifteen year hiatus with the Decalogue storyline written by Michael Bendis. That whole run was as compelling as it was intense. Ed Brubaker continued that legacy of greatness and built on it with the incomparable Michael Lark. I've been reading Daredevil ever since.
