Last night I read Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s Daredevil: Born Again arc for the first time, and I have to admit, it’s every bit as good as the hype. This is an absolutely devestating story that doubles as the definitive Daredevil story as well as the definitive Kingpin story.
Incredibly enough though, the thing that struck me the most perhaps was the afterward that Frank Miller wrote in 1987 about his collaborator. He said:
“It’s almost criminal how easy David makes it to write a script. He makes a three-dimensional stage of the individual panel, complete in authentic detail, nonetheless uncluttered and utterly readable. He creates actors whose dramatic range is startling, whose best and most compelling moments are wordless.
He’s talked of writing his own comics. Keep your eye out for them. I will.”
He may have had to wait a long time for it to come true, but I have to say, I think Frank Miller may have been right about that David Mazzucchelli guy.
