The story arc 'Underboss' follows Matt Murdock as he deals with the fallout of his secret identity being exposed to the Kingpin, leading to a brutal power struggle in Hell's Kitchen. The collection also includes the 'Man Without Fear' one-shot, which serves as a standalone prequel exploring Daredevil's origins.
In "Underboss [Part 1]," Daredevil confronts a dangerous new threat when he learns the Kingpin has ordered his death—only to realize someone within the organization has acted on their own. The story unfolds across timelines, revealing a web of loyalty, betrayal, and a young man’s quiet reckoning with vengeance. With bold storytelling by Brian Michael Bendis and striking visuals by Alex Maleev, this issue sets a tense, character-driven tone that lingers long after the final page.
In "Underboss [Part 1]," Matt and Foggy face a sudden threat outside the courtroom when Nitro appears, intent on violence—just as a brutal attack on Kingpin unfolds in a bloody, theatrical manner, leaving him for dead. The story unfolds across two timelines, weaving tension between a desperate courtroom exit and the aftermath of a shocking assassination attempt.
In "Underboss [Part 2]," Daredevil is caught between a rookie cop’s pursuit and a growing web of suspicion as he tracks down who sent Nitro after him. With the Kingpin now dead and a new player—Sammy Silke—slipping into the Kingpin’s inner circle, the city’s underworld shifts beneath the surface.
In "Underboss [Part 4]," Vanessa Fisk races to save her husband’s life as rumors of his death prove false, while the shadow of a long-brewing betrayal begins to surface. Two months prior, Sammy told a chilling tale of patience and revenge—now, with Daredevil targeted and the Kingpin’s orders defied, Wilson’s trust in his inner circle is crumbling.
In "Underboss [Part 5]," Matt and Ben confront the weight of their choices after the Kingpin’s fall, while Vanessa remains in New York to handle what’s left—her past, her power, and the fragile peace that follows. Two months prior, Sammy quietly began turning the Kingpin’s empire against itself, planting seeds of rebellion that now bloom in silence.
In "Underboss [Part 6]," Vanessa’s quest for vengeance takes a chilling turn as she targets those who betrayed her husband, beginning with her own son. When Sammy flees to the authorities, he exposes a secret that could destroy Matt Murdock’s double life—leaving the hero’s identity hanging in the balance.
