Daredevil #510

Part of Marvel's Shadowland crossover event, this 2010 installment features a striking cover by John Cassaday: the Kingpin stands front and center in his white suit, clutching a bloodied Daredevil mask bearing the DD insignia, while an enormous shadowy silhouette of Daredevil looms menacingly behind him. The image crackles with tension — Wilson Fisk holding that torn, blood-soaked cowl says everything about the dangerous power struggle at the heart of this story. Andy Diggle, Antony Johnston, Marco Checchetto, and Matt Hollingsworth deliver what promises to be a pivotal chapter in one of Marvel's most compelling 2010 storylines.
