• Question: Are there really enough good Daredevil stories that you could do a "50 Greatest..." countdown? I couldn't even name that many offhand! - Anonymous

    If there are more than 50 stories, then by definition there are 50 greatest stories.

    Absolutely. There are probably more great Daredevil stories than ANY other Marvel character. Off the top of my head in a semi-particular order:

    1. Daredevil: Born Again
    2. Daredevil: Guardian Devil
    3. The first Waid/Martin arc
    4. First Bendis/Maleev arc
    5. Um, Elektra/Bullseye Miller/Janson
    6. Mack/Quesada DD/Echo
    7. The amazing Waid/Rivera Spot story
    8. Man Without Fear
    9. DD: Yellow
    10. Waid/Samnee Purple Man story
    11. Bendis/Maleev second arc
    12. Last Days
    13. Love and War
    14. Brubaker/Lark first arc
    15. Bendis/Mack story
    16. First Waid/Samnee arc
    17. Oh crap, first Nocenti/Romita Jr. Arc
    18. The fun Karl Kesel story in DD 1.50
    19. The amazing Waid/Rodriguez Original Sin story
    20. The Jason Latour short story

    And that’s without breaking a sweat. I mean it. There are WAY more great Daredevil stories than great Spider-Man, X-Men, FF, etc. Only character in comics as a whole with more might (and I mean MIGHT) be Batman.
