Daredevil #20

Part of the "Running with the Devil" arc, this 2017 Marvel issue closes out the "Purple Conclusion" storyline with a cover by Mike Deodato Jr. that carries real weight — a battle-worn Daredevil stands against a star-filled sky, gripping what appears to be a torn black garment in his fist, his expression caught somewhere between a grimace and grim satisfaction. Charles Soule, Ron Garney, and Matt Milla bring their distinctive blend of shadow and intensity to this chapter, and that cover image alone suggests something significant has just shifted for the Man Without Fear.
