Daredevil: Born Again [Marvel Premier Collection]

I made another review of this on the Captain America and Winter soldier book that came out, and it’s the same thing! I love that Marvel is releasing these stories in a very nice compact book! I was able to order this and have it shipped to my house the Friday before I met Charlie Cox at a convention, to which he has signed this book! This is now an important piece in my collection and I couldn’t recommend it enough!

The overall build of this book, including the cover, pages, and quality of print are all excellent! It feels great to hold this paperback because the cover has a sort of 'felty' feel to it. The quality of all the pages are great.

I'm a big fan of DC's Compact books, so when I found out Marvel was launching a similar line, needless to say, I was interested. I got this book on release and was impressed by how premium the book feels in hand compared to the Compact line. The paper stock is nicer, the books are slightly larger than the Compact line, and I enjoy all of the extra content. This line is a slam dunk for Marvel, and if you're a fan of the digest sized books, you're not going to find a better story than this.

The media could not be loaded. While it’s a bit small, but the bonus excerpt pencil layouts from Mazzucchelli, a Frank Miller script for issue 233, combined with a great price make this a great showcase of a class Daredevil story.

..and just had to purchase it at the cheap price of $11 and change. Been reading comics since the early 80's. The washed colors are beautiful, resembling the original comic book tone. Compare this to my HC Reborn which has the bright strong colors, with clear stark contrast, but quite harsh on the eyes. Now I'm compelled to revisit my other favorite graphic novels.

The text in reprint of the Frank Miller classic is ridiculously small. I just received this and I’m sending it back for the trade. I also feel like the art can’t be appreciated with the down scaling of this book. Buy this TPB instead:https://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Born-Again-Frank-Miller/dp/0785134816/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3CZ9YVO5NQVBK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ggiqS84KYZ6Qu-ytTqJB9Zu9xl76UWOM-JolwH8ruJXX9BW7eVol7CLaKAbnY_Qbihbxz9ikJHLkohXN12J-IAB2d3EFla6OAMnkSzlQo2pSRpz0S_TiLH2ObcFJyAAjE0sCRqxyAHYLujZfZBT4L56qa6L7OGhVkAWDgDztdOOysWdsHU19wzbK-86QgPeWrqukSE2ww11is5qQIj7oTA.fksE9hoH6FUQhGeICKHiTE7V4NZh7t9HJ67jxPkn66k&dib_tag=se&keywords=born+again+daredevil&qid=1738705487&sprefix=born+again+%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1

In terms of quality, the Marvel Premier Collection outstrips DCs Compact Comics in almost every way. The extra inch of trim size helps the reading experience while still achieving the goal, the paper and cover stock are shockingly great, and the Charlie Cox foreword lends this program a sense of prestige that other lines lack. The extra $5 compared to Compact Comics makes sense once you hold the book in your hands, and it's still a tremendous value at $15. In fact I think the quality of materials here are better than Marvel's standard full price offerings. This is a book you'll want to keep on your shelf.My one gripe would be the uninspired cover design for the line. Really wish they would have gone with a different approach.The Born Again story itself is second to none. If you haven't read it, you should.
