"Born Again" is a 1986 comic book story arc published by Marvel Comics in Daredevil #227-233 monthly issues format, written by Frank Miller and drawn by David Mazzucchelli. The story details Daredevil's descent into insanity and destitution at the Kingpin's hands, as well as a subsequent struggle to build a new life for himself. The storyline (amalgamated with "Guardian Devil") was loosely adapted as the 2018 third season of the Netflix Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) streaming television series Daredevil.
