well they both are written by miller so....

they are both his run

 

[DDTMWF]

I think the top one is his origin story from a mini tha Miller did with JR JR... with some bits from other stories to fill in the gaps. Not really from his original run on DD though

 

[Comics N' Toons]

so what's the original run like

 

[Anubis]

Pretty good. You could find them in those Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller volumes.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

so i his mini run WORTH ANYTHING? because i just bought it

 

[Anubis]

Well, that's up to you.

 

[Darthphere]

so i his mini run WORTH ANYTHING? because i just bought it

Shouldn't you have asked that before you bought it?

 

[Comics N' Toons]

well i mean i've read his original run, and thought to buy it would be a bit pricey, but i desperately want some Frank Miler DD in my collection & i dunno the original run wasn't worth buying & so i bought the other one

 

[Anubis]

Eh, I really can't say. The only thing from Frank Miller DD that I liked was the one where Karen sold his secret ID for drugs.

Absolutely...That was some great stuff... I'm currently re-reading my DD collection (I start at #171 in my collection) and the "Born Again" stuff is great. The stories centering on his relationship with Elektra is good too. There's lots of little stories in between that are pretty good, but those two are IMO the best of his run.

Matt is a complex guy (when written by Miller anyways). In the part I'm at he just ruined he GF's life so that she would marry him. He's not always goody-goody... he's actually quite selfish at times.

SO WHAT'S THE NEWS ON A POSSIBLE SEQUAL????????

Daredevil the movie was great.... affleck was mediocre, but he beats some of the original choices for the role... (WILL SMITH, MATT DAMON etc.)

whoa whoa, will smith was a choice for daredevil? so not only would his villain kingpin, who is white in the comics ,be black but HE (the main character, who ALSO is white) would be black too? wow that would have been a monumental mistake. I'm glad that that never happened. I've got nothin against black people obviously but it just confuses me why they would consider the choice?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Probably because Smith is a likable star who makes boatloads of money on almost everything he's in.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

i just got done reading BORN AGAIN for the 1st time so you can imagine I'm a bit NUTS....


a story that epic will make anyone fall in love w/ DD

That movie sucked, Affleck sucks, and there will be no other DD movie unless Marvel decides to do a restart in ten or fifteen years.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

it didn't suck!

it had a lot of problems yes, but it wasn't bad!

my biggest problem was that they got ELEKTRA wrong... they concentrated too much on her & that terrible evanesence CRAP they played!

 

[Anubis]

That movie sucked giant donkey balls from start to finish. The fighting sucked, the story sucked, the actors sucked. It was what is known as an epic failure. I have never gotten up and walked out of a movie before, but I came damn close....DAMN close to doing so on Daredevil. And I saw Pootie Tang.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

no, no man. I mean yes, they could've gotten a better story, and perhaps focused a lot less on Elektra, but it wasn't that bad... and Michael Clark Duncan was a great choice for FISK

maybe there are a few choices out there for DD that would have been better, but the people did a pretty faithful version

 

[DDTMWF]

You are telling us that you just read "Born Again" for the first time?! I just read it again yesterday... GOD it was good! the stuff with Nuke right after it was good too, but right after that it was pretty crappy... Madcap?! please never again!

 

[Comics N' Toons]

Daredevil: Guardian Devil= great!

 

[DDTMWF]

Just read the new issue (#110) today. I thought the opening scene was excellent. I was satisfied with the ending of the arc. I didn't think it was great, but good.

I'm eagerly anticipating the next arc

 

[arachnid-guy]

I want to get Bendis' run...really heard good things about it.

I heard the hardcovers of Bendis' run are good bang for your buck. But I forgot what volume I should start with!?! Can anyone help>?

 

[Comics N' Toons]

bendis is OVERRATED!!!!!!!!!

 

[Comics N' Toons]

GUARDIAN DEVIL... need I say more?

 

[venom892]

Daredevil is Bendis best work.It's worth reading.
