Born Again (comics)
"Born Again" is a 1986 comic book story arc that appeared in the Marvel Comics series '' Daredevil''. Written by Frank Miller, and drawn by David Mazzucchelli, the storyline first appeared in ''Daredevil'' #227–231. It was later reprinted in graphic novel format along with the previous issue #226, and a follow-up story arc from ''Daredevil'' #232–233, which resolves some loose ends from the original story arc. Because of this, this follow-up story arc has become generally considered part of "Born Again". 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''.

Spider-Man's Tangled Web
''Spider-Man's Tangled Web'' is a comic book series starring Spider-Man and his supporting cast published by Marvel Comics for 22 issues from June 2001 to March 2003. Overview The title was conceived as an anthology series, where various creative teams not usually associated with Spider-Man (usually creators who had previously worked for alternative or Vertigo comics) could display their take on the character. Despite having his name in the title, Spider-Man was often an ancillary character in these stories, appearing on only a few pages or just making a cameo appearance. Sales on the series lagged behind the other Spider-Man titles throughout its run, and it was finally cancelled in 2003 to make way for the new ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' vol. 2 comic by Paul Jenkins and Humberto Ramos. Issue #1 was the subject of a recall due to the incorrect paper stock being used for the cover. A second print run was ordered with the correct paper stock, thus making a collector's item ...
