Just got to reading this for the second time ever – which is an odd thing to say about a comic I own two different editions of (the collection and the IDW Artisan Edition).

Here’s the thing. Before this, in my naïveté, I only liked Born Again for the David Mazzuchelli art, and I’ll admit now that I was largely wrong to do so, even though Miller’s writing continues to not particularly speak to me (except for some his most outré moments in Sin City).

I reread it this time because I was gearing up to reread Batman: Year One and figured I should start with their previous vaunted collaboration, which had after all ended only the previous year. Also came the timely release of Mangasplaining’s Born Again episode. Just felt right.
