An eight-part Image Comics miniseries by Charles Soule and […]

Marvel recently relaunched the Daredevil ongoing series with a new #1 issue by Chip Zdarsky, Marco Checchetto, and Matt Wilson. The publisher billed the issue as perfect for newbies and long-time readers alike. Not only was Daredevil #1 going to be both the ideal jumping-on point for an “all-new era” of Daredevil stories, but it would also deliver the thrilling next chapter in Zdarsky and Checchetto’s acclaimed run chronicling the Man Without Fear’s exploits, which is now into its fourth […]
