Yes, none other than Kingpin, stalking the streets of Manhattan by night. And no matter the speed with which Daredevil moves…there will be blood.

Matt Murdock answers a higher calling in Daredevil #1

Posted on by

Earlier this month in the penultimate issue of Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s run of Daredevil, Matt Murdock sacrificed himself to a hellish fate. But have no fear—Daredevil will be reborn this fall in a new era from writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Aaron Kuder!

Hitting stands on September 13, Daredevil #1 will reveal the shocking price Matt had to pay to escape the afterlife and the biblical consequences his freedom has unleashed on the world. A changed man in more ways than one, Matt has now embraced a new role in life while Elektra continues to defend Hell’s Kitchen as the Woman Without Fear. Elektra would like nothing more than to give Matt the peace he deserves and allow him to live the life he was seemingly destined for, but a new enemy has other plans. Matt’s reemergence has released an unholy threat and in order to stop it from preying on the souls of Hell’s Kitchen, Matt will have to become the devil once more and reckon with the deadliest of sins!

Fans will have to wait to until Daredevil #1 drops to comprehend the full scope and divine mystery of what Ahmed and Kuder have cooked up for Hell’s Kitchen’s cast of characters. In the meantime, check out never-before-seen artwork and a host of new variant covers! 

Behind a cover from industry and Daredevil legend, John Romita Jr., behold the shocking fate of Matt Murdock when Daredevil #1 in graces stands on September 13!
