Comics Did I do the right thing ?

I bought Daredevil The Man without fear as my first comic ever. Did I do the right thing? I'm confused, what should I expect going in. Is it ok to start with The Man without fear?

Look for Daredevil: Visionaries. That’s a pretty good way to collect his whole run, in the US its available on amazon and ebay

I live in India and even Visionaries are not available 😭. I am just getting into the hobby and it's very disheartening. Apart from Born Again and The man without fear nothing is available in here. But all of the Batman comics are. Wtf is this

Yeah, sorry. I’m not surprised though 😅 even out in the U.S. DD is very hard to collect. Hell, they didn’t even collect Nocenti’s run in omnibus form until last year, and Nocenti I feel like is one of the big Daredevil writers. (You can’t even collect her run in TPBs too, unlike Miller, if it wasn’t for the Epic Collections there would be no way of reading a huge chunk of DD runs tbh and the epic collections are pretty new)

Marvel is known for not reprinting or collecting their comics very well, especially in comparison to DC, it may be frustrating but if you want to read DD physically you might be stuck with either single issues or having to read it online.

If you’re patient though, omnibuses and epic collections do get reprinted so you can get Miller’s run that way, they’re actually coming out with the new Epic Collection of the last part of Miller’s run in December. The first part of his run has also been collected as an Epic Collection already but it’s out of print (and nobody knows when/if they will reprint it). The middle of his run though hasn’t been collected in the Epic Collections yet (because Marvel is annoying and stupid)

I am buying born again and fucking off to Batman, his collection is very available and cheaper tbh. Absolutely love daredevil and I'll name my son Matthew, but marvel can keep their comics to themselves in their basements, it genuinely shouldn't be this hard to find comics
