Daredevil...where to start?

Daredevil

As a child, Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive waste while saving a stranger. In turn his other senses were heightened to superhuman sharpness, and he gained a form of "radar sense". By day he is a successful trial lawyer, but by night he guards Hell's Kitchen as Daredevil.

Daredevil...where to start?

I've recently just read Daredevil: Yellow (Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale) and it's given me a thirst for more, but where do I start?

Can anyone give me an idea of a good issue or story arc to start at.

Apologies if this topic already exists, I couldn't find one.

Thank you.

I read Daredevil: The Man Without Fear just the other day and it's an excellent place to start. It's probably the best origin story I've ever read.

I've heard great things about Bendis's run, so you can look out for those trades (I just ordered the first one myself)

Daredevil: Born Again is highly praised on Amazon, and I'm looking to buy that on my next paycheck.

Daredevil: Guardian Devil is also an excellent read. Kevin Smith did a great job with this story and the art is fantastic.

Hope this helps and I'm sorry you had to wait 3 days for an answer :/

start with Man Without fear, then read Born Again then you can either read Frank Miller's visionaries or if you want to jump on a continuing series straight away you can collect all of DD vol. 2 in trades and they start at Guardian Devil by Kevin Smith and include Bendis's run. There are a lot of DD stories there but all worth reading.

Hope that helped.

Well since a new #1 just came out for Daredevil I'd suggest that. I started with Brubaker's run and really enjoyed it. Read my way back through Bendis' fantastic achievement. Man W/O Fear and Born Again are solid suggestions.

Honestly I envy you having never read these stories. Prepare for DD to take over your collection. Your gonna love em!

I heard great things about Brubaker's run, though I do not have a thorough experience with Daredevil.
