Daredevil #25 (637)

In "The Red Fist Part 1," Elektra makes a bold move, infiltrating a prison with a dangerous mission: freeing Matt Murdock. But when he refuses to escape, she must prove her worth—not just to him, but to the city she now vows to protect. With a striking new look and a renewed purpose, she steps into the shadows as Hell's Kitchen’s new guardian, while Matt faces the consequences of his choices. Written by Chip Zdarsky and illustrated with intensity by Marco Checchetto—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the issue’s gritty tone, with colors by Marcio Menyz and letters by VC's Clayton Cowles—this standout chapter marks a pivotal shift in the series, all anchored by a cover by Checchetto that captures the moment’s tension.
