The Man Without Fear: Daredevil Appreciation

[AJpyro]

So I was read BmB DD and I realized something: The issue where Black Widow returned in order to get Matt to go out as DD was more or less like the recent Spiderman #3 where Kamala tried to the same with Miles. It didn't resonate with me there and it didn't now. Any one else feel that?

Here's the full list of DD runs that made 'CBR's Top 100 List':

32. Mark Waid’s “Daredevil” – 376 points (2 first place votes)

22. Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev’s “Daredevil” – 585 points (8 first place votes)

3. Frank Miller and Klaus Janson’s “Daredevil” – 1449 points (28 first place votes)

Not too shabby. All three of the major DD runs made the list, one in the top 25 and the best one at #3. My only gripe is that CBR didn't include Born Again under Miller's DD. I think that should have been included. That's a big omission.

those are very good

I agree that Born Again is quite excellent. However, IIRC the reason it wasn't included was that you could only vote for "runs" that were at least 10 issues or so.

A notable omission was Brubaker's Daredevil.

Think Born Again should've been included with the others. Without it it's not top 5 material. With it, definitely.

The Bullseye Sinkiewicz variant looks dope.

I agree that Born Again is quite excellent. However, IIRC the reason it wasn't included was that you could only vote for "runs" that were at least 10 issues or so.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that is correct. They put Englehart's Batman run on the list and it's only 8 issues long.

Also, I really meant, why didn't they just include Born Again in their listing of Miller's DD like they did with all of Morrison's Batman run?

A notable omission was Brubaker's Daredevil.

Dang. I completely forgot about that. Very notable omission.
