Daredevil: Back in Black - by Charles Soule & Roger McKenzie (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Daredevil returns with a bold new look in this brand-new edition of the essential source material behind Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+.

What dark forces have reshaped Hell's Kitchen? All is revealed in this opening salvo from #1 New York Times bestselling author Charles Soule, whose electric storytelling paired with Eisner Award-nominee Ron Garney's bold and atmospheric artwork serves as a cornerstone for the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again.

MATT MURDOCK returns to New York City, but the Man Without Fear is no longer the vigilante he once was. Now working in the District Attorney's office, he's on a collision course with justice itself. Matt's new path pits him against TENFINGERS, the cunning crime lord behind the Church of the Sheltering Hands. Meanwhile, BLINDSPOT, a deadly new protégé to DAREDEVIL, steps into the fray--only to face a relentless HAND ninja clan out for blood. As old allies like ELEKTRA resurface with scores to settle and the PUNISHER clashes with DAREDEVIL over their warring ideals of retribution, Hell's Kitchen becomes deadlier than ever before.
