Daredevil

by Brian Michael Bendis, Alex Maleev

A landmark run on Daredevil that reinvented the character, delving into Matt Murdock's internal struggles and introducing a noir atmosphere to Hell's Kitchen.

Geek’s cut

Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.

Deeper dive

Bendis and Maleev's Daredevil is dark, intimate, and psychologically complex. This run strips away many of Daredevil's traditions and builds something fresh, exploring Matt Murdock's obsessive nature, his relationships, and the toll that being a hero takes on his life. Featuring iconic storylines like "Jinx" and "Parts of a Hole," this is essential reading for superhero fans.
