Daredevil #1: A New Era Begins for the Devil in Hell’s Kitchen

On the heels of the exciting world of Marvel’s Daredevil crafted by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto, a new era is about to unfold. In the upcoming Daredevil #1, written by Saladin Ahmed and illustrated by Aaron Kuder, readers will witness the aftermath of Matt Murdock’s daring escape from his hellish fate and be reborn once again but at what cost?

Matt, a changed man in more ways than one, is dealing with the price he paid to escape the afterlife and the price the world has had to pay for his return while Elektra continues to protect Hell’s Kitchen as the fearless Woman Without Fear. However, their hopes for a peaceful life are shattered when a formidable enemy threatens their city. To save the souls of Hell’s Kitchen, Matt must once again don the mantle of the devil and confront the deadliest of sins that have been unleashed on his home.

The full extent of Ahmed and Kuder’s gripping story, complete with divine mysteries and surprises from the Marvel Universe, will be unveiled when DAREDEVIL #1 hits the shelves this September. But for now, fans can enjoy never-before-seen artwork and a slate of stunning variant covers.

Ahmed expressed his commitment to delivering a fresh perspective on Matt and Hell’s Kitchen, ensuring an intriguing and unique reading experience for fans, saying:

“I wanted to only take this job on if I felt like I had a new, unique take on Matt and on Hell’s Kitchen. And so that’s at the center of this… him and his world, but it’s the Marvel Universe.

What I’ve really enjoyed in talking with other editors, other offices, is finding ways through these first couple of arcs we have planned to keep this centered on Matt, keep this centered on his people, in his world, but to bring (in a very organic and surprising fun way) some familiar Marvel figures that I think are going to blow people’s mind when they pop up on the page!”

Daredevil #1 will arrive at your favorite local comic shops and digitally on September 13, 2023.
