The biggest runs are Miller, Bendis/Brubaker and Waid. I've listed all four runs in both their Deluxe/Omnibus formats and their standard paperback versions. I imagine they're all available digitally, as well.

Frank Miller (1980-1982, 1986)

u/sd_glokta · 19 pointsr/television

The character description is interesting: "an honest but ambitious FBI agent willing to go to any length for his family." If they're going to make Season 3 like Born Again, then I suspect he's going to be a combination of Nick Manolis and Ben Urich (RIP on TV).

Daredevil was the comics character that helped me to get through the worst of my depression. Daredevil's mantra is the same as his father's: "never give up". Through the years, you see Matt Murdock go through the ringer, but even when things seem impossible or difficult, he never gives up. Yeah, I know it's fiction, but seeing someone go through what Matt did in Born Again and come out the other side of it stronger than ever made me say "I can do this too".

I'd recommend reading Miller's original run (issues #158-191) first, then going straight into Born Again.

Another good run to read is from Mark Waid. Waid's run is a departure tonally from the runs that came before it, but it still remains true to the character. Matt gets a new lease on life after years of misery and darkness, choosing not to be weighed down by the unbearable pain and loss of his recent past. He chooses to move forward and start living life as he wants to.

Good luck, /u/HeySabangotasecond. I know all too well that depression is a bitch and a half to deal with. Talking with someone you trust (family, friends, therapist, etc.) can help a great deal.

This too shall pass.

Do you want to read digital or physical copies of comics?

I can give you some recommendations for Daredevil if you want, but I've never read digital comics before, so I'll just show you physical copies.

You can start with Frank Miller's run, which has three volumes and another story later (Born Again). The trade (trade paperback, it's a collection of issues bound into a paperback book) you read, "The Man Without Fear" is Frank Miller's re-imagining of Daredevil's origin.

Volume 1

Volume 2

Volume 3

Born Again

After Frank Miller's run you can read Bendis' run. It is also in three volumes.

Volume 1

Volume 2

Volume 3

Then Brubaker's run, again, three volumes.

Volume 1

Volume 2

Volume 3

And then Waid's run. You can collect this in two different ways, a bunch of smaller trades, or five larger hardcover copies. I'd recommend the hardcovers, they're easier to read and I'm too lazy to link all of the trades.

Volume 1

Volume 2

Volume 3

Volume 4

Volume 5

And now you're all caught up to the current run. There was some stuff in between these other runs, like "Yellow" and Kevin Smith's run, but this is the main stuff. I'm guessing the five issues you picked up last week are from this run, so all you need to do is tell the comicbook shop guy you want to add Daredevil to your "pull list". This means every time a new Daredevil issue comes out (once a month) the shop will put it aside so you can pick it up whenever you want.

If you want to read digital comics, that's something different though.

How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) by Patrick Willems

Consider your intent/commitment. Think about stories/characters from TV, movies, games, etc. that you already like. Do you seek “good” storytelling or encyclopedic Marvel knowledge? Are you here to collect or read? How much time/resources are available?

Don’t try to read everything—there’s too much. Forget about continuity, universes, and timelines; it's all very confusing, even to creators/fans. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so first appearances/early origins may not be the best starting points. Creative teams change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told (e.g. I never cared for Hawkeye until Matt Fractions’ run).

Pick an interesting character/team and seek their “greatest hits”. Focus on well-received, relatively self-contained, and complete stories. You may encounter the occasional unexplained reference/character/event—just ride along (Wiki if necessary). Remember, there are so many other great characters and publishers to explore, and not all comics are about superheroes.

Marvel Unlimited / Comixology for digital. instocktrades for print (US). ISBNS for price aggregate.

If you ever feel like getting into the superhero side of things, another great series is Frank Miller's Daredevil run. It's collected in Omnibus format as well as three less pricey paperbacks, along with Man Without Fear and Born Again. His run is darker than your typical capes story, so it should be right up your alley.

u/centipededamascus · 4 pointsr/Marvel

Here's some suggestions I have:

u/avonstringer · 4 pointsr/funny

Oh shit, one of my favorite comic book artists on reddit!

In case you haven't read the comic this image comes from I'd recommend reading Daredevil: Born Again. After that, read Batman: Year One, same creative team, easily the most beautiful superhero book ever made.

u/AlTheOneAndOnly · 3 pointsr/Defenders

Now if you crave more of the Man without Fear, I can provide a bit more on the subject (which is my area of expertise).

Daredevil has two definitive origin retellings, The Man Without Fear (which is what DDs1 is based on) by Frank Miller & John Romita, Jr., and Daredevil: Yellow by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (the same creative team behind Batman: The Long Halloween).
TMWF: http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Without-Fear-Frank-Miller/dp/0785134794/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452067420&sr=1-1&keywords=the+man+without+fear
DDY: http://www.amazon.com/DAREDEVIL-YELLOW-Jeph-Loeb/dp/0785109692/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452067605&sr=1-1&keywords=daredevil+yellow

Now both of those stories are excellent, but for Daredevil: Yellow I'd actually recommend reading Kevin Smith & Joe Quesada's controversial Guardian Devil before you start it. If you do read it, please, PLEASE read it the whole way through, as most just stop before the end which is criminal. I guarantee that if you finish, you will have a whole new respect for a certain foe of Spider-Man. (Also definitely buy the trade, the individual covers give away things that happened in the previous issue so if you buy in bulk like I do you will be spoiled)
DDGD: http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Guardian-Devil-Kevin-Smith/dp/078514143X/ref=pd_sim_14_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=51BmRRUZ5oL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR104%2C160_&refRID=18YSDWRHE8YQ2CWRR0N4

Now I'd also recommend reading Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev's run, as well as Ed Brubaker & Michael Lark's run which comes right after it, as both are some of the best comics of the Modern Age.
DDbBMB&AMv1: http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Michael-Bendis-Ultimate-Collection/dp/0785143882/ref=pd_sim_14_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=51Ssk-ZLobL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR103%2C160_&refRID=1AAEZR1ZFM4AKWTPR57W
DDbEB&MLv1: http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Brubaker-Michael-Ultimate-Collection/dp/0785163344/ref=pd_sim_14_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=51gw0%2BVbCkL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR104%2C160_&refRID=0AEEM22Y7D77C00BFNX8

Now for the big stuff, The Bullseye/Elektra Saga by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson which I recommended above, and of course, Daredevil: Born Again by Frank Miller & David Mazzucchelli, which is considered one of the greatest comic books ever written, and I would agree. If you only read one thing, read that. It (along with The Man Without Fear) is being released with all of Frank Miller's other works on the character as a companion piece to the omnibus I recommended above, so you may want to look into that.

I hope that is enough Daredevil to tide you over until March.

u/ChickenInASuit · 3 pointsr/comicbooks

You might be interested in these, in that case: Daredevil Visionaries - Frank Miller Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, and here's Born Again for good measure.

The "Visionaries" series collects his first run. With Vol.1 he only did the illustrations, his writing - and therefore the really good stuff - doesn't start until Vol.2. I own them all and they're nice, hefty, decently priced collections that look pretty cool on my comic shelf.

u/C-137PrincipalVagina · 3 pointsr/television

It's the comics run that this season is (loosely) based on. There are a few nods/hints to it through the trailer. It's written by Frank Miller and it's fucking excellent. Yours to own for just £11.70!!

u/RexxarTheHunter8 · 3 pointsr/Marvel

Sure, you can get it in TPB form:

u/runningchef · 3 pointsr/comicbooks

I'm a big Daredevil fan as well, and Born Again is probably my favorite Daredevil storyline. Miller and Mazzucchelli totally knocked it out of the park on that one.

u/HeavyPetter · 2 pointsr/self

"And you have shown me that a man without hope... is a man without fear."

This reminded me of Frank Miller's Daredevil. It's a comic book but it's a good story about a man who loses it all, driven to the brink of insanity, and then gets it back.

So to all the hopeless motherfuckers out there, be fearless.

u/chantastic · 2 pointsr/Marvel

Get her the Born Again trade. It's from the 80's but the art and writing style still hold up incredibly well. It's generally considered one of the greatest comic book stories of all time.

http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Born-Again-Frank-Miller/dp/0785134816

My personal opinion is that his earlier run doesn't hold up as well. It is significant because it introduced a darker tone and introduced ninjas and martial arts which was novel at the time, but not so much anymore. The art is not as good, also whereas the art by Mazuchelli in Born Again is superb.

u/LynnWiberg · 2 pointsr/comicbooks

If you're digging that Daredevil try this. One of my favorite new comics Witch Doctor. Kirkman's super hero epic Invincible.

u/TheWarpedOne · 2 pointsr/comicbooks

You do realize Miller didn't draw that? That's David Mazzucchelli's art.

http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Born-Again-Frank-Miller/dp/0785134816/ref=pd_sim_b_3

u/edhiggins · 2 pointsr/Marvel

It should all be explained by reading Born Again, which is (happily enough) one of the best stories in comic book history.

u/MattMurdock9 · 2 pointsr/Daredevil

Start with Daredevil The Man Without Fear by Frank Miller and John Romita Jr. It’s pretty much his definitive origin, and what Season 1 of Netflix Daredevil was really inspired by. https://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Without-Fear-Frank-Miller/dp/0785134794

Then you can pick up Daredevil Vol. 1 by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson which is the start of their run and continue on the next volumes 2 and 3 https://www.amazon.com/DAREDEVIL-FRANK-MILLER-KLAUS-JANSON/dp/0785134735

Daredevil Born Again by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli which is the most famous of the Daredevil stories and what Season 3 of Netflix Daredevil was heavily inspired by https://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Born-Again-Frank-Miller/dp/0785134816


Then if you want a kind of sequel to Born Again, pick up Daredevil Guardian Devil by Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada. Season 3 of Netflix Daredevil also takes a lot from this story https://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-Guardian-Devil-Kevin-Smith/dp/078514143X


Mark Waid’s run is a lot more modern and not nearly as dark or gritty, it’s more adventurous and swashbuckling compared to the darker grittier Frank Miller stuff, but it is good as well!

u/white_and_qwerty · 1 pointr/graphicnovels

For more Image stuff, I'd recommend:

Invincible - This comic is so absurdly good. I've read up to volume four of the ultimate collections and had a blast the whole way through (it's probably in my top 3 comics I've ever read, if not #1). The characters are wonderful, and everything that happens has an impact on the story as a whole. Not to mention the fantastic art!

Monstress - This comic is just gorgeous. (Seriously. Here's a sample.) The story's pretty good, too! It's kind of a horror adventure comic, if that makes any sense. Or, a fantasy adventure adventure comic with darker themes. Yeah, let's go with that. Point is, it's good, and it deserves your attention.

Now for my superhero recommendations:

Daredevil by Frank Miller - If you want a more action-oriented Daredevil story, definitely read through some of Frank Miller's stuff. You can jump right into his run with the omnibus or paperback collections or you can get your feet wet first with his standalone stories, such as the retelling of Daredevil's origin in The Man Without Fear or what many consider to be the best DD tale ever told, Born Again (both of which are contained in the omnibus companion if you wanna stick to the nice hardcover stuff).

Batman: Year One - Speaking of Frank Miller, I've noticed a severe lack of this book on your shelf. This is Batman's origin as it was meant to be told, and is still my favorite Batman story to date. There's not much else to say other than if you consider yourself a Batfan, you need to read Year One.

Batman: The Long Halloween (and its sequel, Dark Victory) - Since you enjoyed (most of) Yellow, Blue & Gray and like Batman, why not follow the Loeb/Sale team and read two of the best stories set early in the caped crusader's career?

Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender - Wanna see Wolverine, Deadpool and friends tear shit up? This is the book for you!

Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. - Wanna see a ragtag group of "heroes" you've likely never heard of tear shit up even harder? This is definitely the book for you. Nextwave is the comic equivalent of dumb popcorn fun.

This one

u/cheddarhead4 · 1 pointr/comicbooks

My usual recommendation:

If you've seen Daredevil Season One, you can skip "The Man Without Fear". So, I'd recommend you start with "Daredevil: Born Again" by Frank Miller (4 issues).

After that, skip to "Guardian Devil (beginning of v2)" by Kevin Smith (8 issues).

After that, you get to read Bendis/Maleev's run - it's the best (55 issues).

Then skip Shadowland, because it's horrible.

Then read Wade's run (v3 and v4) - it's also the best (~35 issues).

Brubaker: Amazon doesn't seem to have the collected editions :/
Waid: Amazon only has the original trades, which isn't really a great way to collect. Honestly since there's so much here I would advise you get Marvel Unlimited. It's 10$ a month and everything here is on there, and a whole lot more. http://marvel.com/comics/unlimited
