Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell #1 Debuts a Dark Future for Marvel’s Heroes

The new comic explores an older Matt Murdock regaining his powers in a dystopian New York, setting the stage for a grim showdown with Bullseye.

The story begins with a powerless Matt Murdock navigating a broken New York City, only to regain his abilities after a subway explosion.
Captain America sacrifices himself to save a young girl during the explosion, with Bullseye later taunting a mutilated Punisher using Cap's shield.
Themes of faith, aging, and resilience are central, with Matt frequently referencing 'God’s plan' as a source of hope in the bleak setting.
The creative team of Charles Soule and Steve McNiven is praised for their collaborative storytelling and striking visual depiction of a dystopian Marvel Universe.
The comic balances slow-paced world-building with intense action, offering a fresh and unsettling take on Daredevil and other aging superheroes.
