Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio appeared as surprise guests at the end.

Frank Miller talks about his career and Born Again

The panel began with another guest appearance from Frank Miller, who presented a panel at last year’s Marvel Fanfare event. Frank talks about his childhood growing up in Vermont, his early love of Superman Miller and his affinity for watching Saturday morning cartoons, and later discovering that comic books were everywhere, including at the local pharmacy. He recalled that his father would bring home a comic book and read it to him. The invention of the comic book shop, a popular new idea at the time, completely fascinated him.
“Cartoons were perfect in a way, because they’re the only thing you can do without needing anything but the most basic tools,” Miller recalled during a panel discussion. “If you have a pole point, a pen, and paper, you can make it yourself.”
He talked about how he had wanted to create comics since he was five years old. His first idea, which came to him while watching his mother make bread, was Doughboy, a hero who could punch and stretch.
“Then along came Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Steve Ditko. Everything changed. We learned how far-reaching Shakespeare’s comics could be. Comics ended their youth. I…and soon I will be finished too.”
Miller recalled his time with Daredevil. According to him, “Everyone else has special abilities, but he has a special disability.”
In explaining the origins of his approach to Born Again, Miller explained that he wanted to strip Murdoch naked and show him his true self. That allowed Frank Miller to reimagine him and get into the heart and soul of the character. The subsequent legacy is a by-product of this approach.
New Daredevil: A Cold Day in Hell
This led to the announcement of the upcoming DAREDEVIL: COLD DAY IN HELL. The comic will be created by Charles Soule and Steve McNiven, who worked together on Death of Wolverine. This is a project they’ve been working on together for four years, and is heavily influenced by Frank Miller’s storytelling style, which is characterized by a level of panels per page that is unprecedented in comic book history.
“Daredevil is older in the books. His powers are based on radiation,” Saul revealed while pitching his story to the audience. “When the story begins, he is old, blind, running a soup kitchen, and settled into his life.”
In describing the inciting incident that begins the story, Saul explained: But when a dirty bomb explodes in Hell’s Kitchen, Matt is suddenly given his powers again, but only temporarily. He has only 72 hours to become a daredevil again and solve this mystery of who planted the bomb. This is a curveball that sets up what it’s like to return to a world you’ve been left behind. ”
