‘Daredevil’ returns next March by Stephanie Phillips + Lee Garbett

Matt Murdock gets a new job and is targeted by a new villain named Omen.

Marvel will relaunch Daredevil next year, as Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett head to Hell’s Kitchen for new stories featuring the introduction of a new villain named Omen. Also, Matt Murdock goes back to school!

“I’m taking on one of my favorite characters with one of my favorite artists, and together we’re exploring Daredevil’s noir sensibilities,” Phillips said. “Lee Garbett brings so much style and emotion to every page, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner to bring this version of Daredevil to life.”

Phillips and Garbett follow writer Saladin Ahmed’s run on the title, who worked with artists Aaron Kuder, Jose Luis and others over the course of 25 issues. Phillips is also the first woman to write the Daredevil ongoing series since Ann Nocenti’s run ended in 1991.

Daredevil faces a ‘Cold Day in Hell’ courtesy of Charles Soule + Steve McNiven

The future looks bleak for Matt Murdock in a new miniseries launching next year.

Charles Soule and Steve McNiven, the team behind Marvel’s The Death of Wolverine, will reunite a decade later for Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell, a miniseries offering a dark future for the Man Without Fear.

Set in a future Marvel Universe on the brink of collapse, the series introduces a “grizzled, older version” of Matt Murdock — someone more akin to Old Man Logan, another character McNiven knows well.

“I know whatever idea I write is going to be executed masterfully by Steve, and that level of trust allows you to take a lot of risks,” Soule said. “It’s been a really interesting process because the way we made it is something I wouldn’t do with an artist that I didn’t have this level of collaboration and trust with. We’ve been working on this book for four years, and that time has been well spent.”

NYCC | Marvel announces a new TPB line called the ‘Marvel Premier Collection’

Marvel says the new line will be ‘one of the best’ places for new fans to start reading.

Marvel has announced a new trade paperback line called the Marvel Premier Collection, which will offer material from “Marvel’s most celebrated and prestigious storylines and creators.”

The 6” x 9” formatted collections will be slightly bigger than DC’s Compact Comics line, but seems to be taking a similar approach — offering classic and recent beloved material from their back library. Marvel’s line will cost $5 more than DC’s, coming in at $14.99 each.

“We’ve all heard the age-old questions: ‘Where do I start? What is that one run you just cannot miss? What should I read before or after the next big movie or television show to have the best experience?’ The Marvel Premier Collection program is our answer to each of those questions,” said Dan Buckley, president of Marvel Comics and Franchise. “Comics are at the heart of everything we do at Marvel, so this collection will be our go-to publishing line for any and all fans looking for a way into — or further into — the Marvel Universe. These titles will not be the only place to start of course, but they will be one of the best.”

Elektra gets the Red Band treatment in ‘Daredevil: Unleash Hell’

Erica Schultz and Valentina Pinti add a bloody new dimension to the Woman Without Fear’s adventures.

Writer Erica Schultz will continue to tell stories featuring Elektra Natchios in Daredevil: Unleash Hell – Red Band. The mature readers title will feature artwork by Blade and Immortal Thor artist Valentina Pinti.

This is Schultz’s third miniseries featuring the assassin-turned-superhero, but the first to fall into Marvel’s new mature readers line, which “allows Elektra to unleash unrestricted bloodshed against her targets,” according to Marvel. It comes polybagged to protect innocent eyes.

“It’s been such a pleasure to continue writing Elektra, especially donning the horns,” Schultz said. “In this new series, we have the opportunity to show that just because she doesn’t kill doesn’t mean she won’t make you wish she had. Elektra has been known for her brutality, and we’ll see that on display here. Also, with a Red Band rating, that means we can get real nasty with stuff. Don’t know what I mean? You will. Valentina Pinti and I are very excited to show you this new direction.”

And there’s a lot to look forward to in the anniversary issue.

Other creators contributing to the issue include Ann Nocenti, D.G. Chichester and Erica Schultz, who have written Daredevil in the past, as well as the two artists I most associate with the character: John Romita Jr. drew the main cover, while Frank Miller did a variant.

“I’ve always loved villain POV stories, and Wilson Fisk has the ultimate street level villain POV,” Ahmed said. “We went really big and bloody with this, bringing Kingpin back in a huge way, and I can’t wait for fans to check it out.”
