What issues would you recommend? Been out of comics for decades, but that whole bit about his prep game and all has me intrigued.
All of Priest's run. Maybe "The Man Without Fear/Most Dangerous Man Alive" if you have time (it's T'Challa filling up for Daredevil after Matt got taken over by a demon). Kirby's run is zany fun as well. I'd ignore the Hudlin/Coates runs & minis.
